Spray paint marbling is one of the easiest craft projects ever and you probably have everything you need to do it on hand already. Use this technique to change up your surfaces and add a little something special. I am going to demonstrate the steps on some plain vases but you can literally use this on any surface that can be painted. I have used the same procedure on a mason jar, a sign, and some glass Christmas trees. So, find something around your home to paint or buy something brand new then get started with our tips below.
Supplies for marbling paint:
- Spray paint in a variety of colors
- Surface to marble (I am using two plain vases)
- Old plastic container
- Craft sticks or scrap wood
- Water
- Tray and flowers to complete this project
- Gloves (optional but this project can get messy)
- Old cardboard or newspaper
Surfaces you can marble:
There are so many options when it comes to what you can dip! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Painted glass – jars, vases, lamps, etc.
- Unpainted glass – glasses, pitchers, candleholders, etc.
- Paper – card stock, paper mache, gift boxes, gift bags, etc.
- Plastic – phone cases, animals, storage containers, etc.
- Wood – picture frames, signs, bowls, knobs, etc.
- Metal – buckets, lanterns, bins, etc.
- Clay – planters, bowls, etc.
So, gather up your items and follow the instructions below for some marbling fun!
