Text: Ritu Mahimkar Art & Layout : Shreya Sen- Mix three cups of
shaving foam with three
cups of glue in a bowl.
- Pour this mixture into an
airtight pouch and add two
spoonfuls of the food colour.
- Once you’ve added the food colour
seal the pouch and squish it gently.
Keep squishing until all the three
ingredients are mixed well and the
colour is uniform throughout
the pouch.
- Now on a sheet of paper
draw a design of your
choice with a pencil.
- Cut a tiny hole in the corner of the
foam pouch. Slowly squeeze the foam
paint on to the outlines and insides of
your design, just like icing.
- Once your foam painting is
complete, leave it out to dry
overnight. By
morning your
foam painting will
have solidified
perfectly, and even
turned 3D!
