Marbling Paper technique

[untonuggan]

I've been thinking of ways to make my own journals after I saw one in a store that had covers made out of an old Trivial Pursuit box. (I think whoever did it had a binding machine, which I kind of covet.)

One technique I learned awhile ago was how to marble paper using - of all things - shaving cream. It seems like a great way to spice up a potentially blah journal cover by making a marbled paper journal cover, or some such thing (or even creating a new cover).

You can find out how to do it through this handy guide.
