Maker Monday: 3-D Snow Paint

This puffy snow paint adds a cute, 3-D effect to your artwork.

In warmer weather, we can see this technique used to a great finish with puffy clouds, poodles and sheep, too!

Supplies:

Construction paper

Shaving cream

School glue

Paintbrush

Markers

Draw and color a winter scene. Maybe a picture of your backyard, your favorite park or a downtown cityscape.

In a bowl or cup — we prefer a disposable cup for easy cleanup! — mix equal parts shaving cream and glue. Stir well to make the puffy 3-D snow paint.

Dip your brush into the puffy paint and blob onto your drawing.

Allow at least 1 hour for your masterpiece to dry. The paint will get a rubbery feel once dry and will maintain the 3-D effect of the puffy paint.
