Turn a plain old postcard into a masterpiece with a simple marbleizing technique. Then make someone’s day by sending them your work of art with a special message on the back.
Materials
Used plastic food container (cleaned out of course) that is big enough to hold your postcard, water, small plastic eyedroppers, enamel paint, toothpicks or sticks, white postcards or index cards
Directions
1. Fill your container halfway with water. Using an eyedropper, add a few drops of paint in different colors to the water. Swirl the colors with a toothpick or stick.
2. Drop a blank card on the water. After a second or two, carefully lift the card straight up and set it aside to dry on newspaper or paper towels.
3. When it's completely dry, if the card curls, place it beneath a heavy book for a couple of days to flatten the edges.
You may want to clear the water between card dips by dragging a toothpick through the water.
Variation
Skip the mailing step and put these babies in some frames for eye catching wall art to bring some color to your life every day.
