Marbling for Christmas

New today, Craig Joubert from Marbling 4 Fun is back with more ideas for last minute gifts. You can create patterns on paper mache; polystyrene shapes; MDF pre-cut shapes work well and while you can paint these if you want (matt paint is best), you don’t have to. He also has ideas for creating your own wrapping paper and of course, your very own, unique cards. Watch Now+

And if you missed a few weeks ago, Craig showed us a brilliant, quick and unique project, that all the family can help with. – this lovely Christmas tree shape – created with his marbling paints, and using some of the paper that might otherwise be popped in to the bin! Watch Now+

Craig has some great ideas in his books, Introduction to Marbling 4 Fun and Crafting with Marbling 4 Fun and as his paints are non- toxic (try Craig’s Marbling 4 Fun starter kit) you could spend some lovely time with your families marbling over the Christmas holidays.

And with Christmas just around the corner, you still have time to make this very popular Zig Zag table runner. and very cleverly, Anne doesn’t use triangle. Instead to create the zig-zag pattern she has, with clever colour manipulation, created it from rectangular blocks, and simple strip piecing. A free pattern is available to Paid Subscribers.
