We shaving cream painted (sounds crazy huh?) a few weeks ago and I am FINALLY getting around to posting about it. It was so much fun and we have done so much with our paintings. It's like the craft that keeps on giving.
I found the idea at Little Wonders Days and knew Sweet P would LOVE this! The kid loves shaving cream and paint so this was the perfect craft for her!
We turned our finished product into a cross garland for our window and sent the extras as Easter ornaments to RoRo, TK, Nana and Gammie. Then, we used the scraps from cutting the paper into crosses to make an egg collage AND we still have some scraps leftover! We loved this project and it'll be so fun to do for other holidays in the future!
Here's a quick overview of how it went:
Spray shaving cream into a baking sheet or other container and mix around until the container is covered.
Drizzle paint over the top of the shaving cream and swirl with a paintbrush, toothpick, straw, etc.
Allow to sit for a few minutes (ours sat for several minutes while Sweet P took a quick bath).
Use a squeegee (or towel) to wipe off the shaving cream (the paint will remain!) and set out to dry.
Cut into the shape of your choice or hang to admire!
For the cross garland, I cut each piece of paper into 5 crosses.
I laminated the crosses so we could use the garland next year.
Sweet P lined them all up and helped me punch holes in them.
Punch a hole in each cross, then thread through a piece of yarn or string. Hang and admire!
