Instructions

1. Prepare your workspace with a plastic drop cloth to protect surfaces.

2. Fill a shallow tray (at least 12x18 inches) with 1 inch of water.

3. Add 1 tablespoon of marbling medium to the water and stir gently to combine.

4. Using a pipette, drop 10-15 drops of marbling ink onto the water's surface.

5. Use a wooden stick to swirl the ink into desired patterns without mixing too much.

6. Carefully lay a piece of paper (9x12 inches) onto the surface of the water, allowing it to absorb the ink for 10 seconds.

7. Lift the paper straight up from the water and let it drip for a moment before placing it on a drying rack.

8. Repeat the process with additional sheets of paper until you have a stack of marbled papers.
