Turn a plain postcard into a work of art with a simple marbleizing technique.

Materials

• Old plastic food-storage container
• Water
• Small plastic eyedroppers

• Model kit enamel paint
• Toothpicks or sticks
• White postcards or index cards

Instructions

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.

Tips:

You may want to clear the water between card dips by dragging a toothpick through the water.
