Print heart templates onto cardstock and then cut them out. Or you can draw your own heart shapes.
Step 3: Prepare the tray
Add shaving cream to a baking tray.
Spread the shaving cream with a spatula, if needed, to even it out.
Squeeze lines of paint on top of the shaving cream in random patterns.
Continue adding paint to the tray in one colour or different colours until it's evenly covered, as shown in the photo below. We used three shades of red for ours, but you can add any colours you like.
Swirl the paint around with a stir stick. Move up and down across the tray, and also side to side.Then move the stir stick in a curved motion until most of the shaving cream is covered in paint, with only small areas of white showing through.
Step 4: Create marbled shaving cream hearts
Place a cardstock heart into the paint with the black outline side facing up (if you used our template). Press the heart down on the edges slightly so the whole shape gets covered in the mixture. You can also use the clean end of the stir stick to press down the edges.Let the heart sit in the shaving cream and paint for about 10 seconds.
Carefully peel the cardstock heart off the shaving cream and place it on a clean tray, shaving cream side up.Grab an edge of the heart with a fingertip and use a squeegee (or a plastic ruler) to remove any extra shaving cream and paint. Use firm pressure for best results.
Repeat with any other hearts you cut out, and allow them to dry on paper towel for about half an hour.
Step 5: Make a handmade Valentine's Day card (optional)
Add glue tape or glue stick to the back of a marbled heart.
Place the heart on the front of a blank card.
Write your Valentine's Day message inside the card.
