diy project: marbled paper how-to with erica domesek!
September 30, 2010 by admin · 10 Comments
Last month Amy and I hopped in a car and drove out to Montauk to film a DIY video with one of our favorite crafty ladies, Erica Domesek of PS I Made This. Erica’s first book, also called PS I Made This, just launched this month and we wanted to celebrate by trying a project that she assured us would be easy for even the newest crafter. So today Erica is teaching us how to create Marbled Paper and turn it into a cute paper lampshade! And, because Erica is the queen of making something beautiful out of almost anything, she even came up with a fun necklace DIY using the leftover marbled paper scraps (Instructions after the jump). Thanks so much to Erica for sharing this fun project with us and showing us a great time during our trip to Montauk.

Ooh I love the necklace idea!
What a wonderful little video! Can’t get enough of Erica and all of her projects… I’ve got to make time to pick up that book!
oh, you two make the cutest pair ever. LOOOOOVE this post!
(hi sweet erica!)
This post made me so nostalgic, it reminded me of my 10th birthday when my Grandma bought me my first paper marbling kit and I still remember how engrossed I was in that kit for days. Signs of a future craft junky.
So fun! I actually learned to do this from ‘The Dangerous Book for Boys’ I had bought as a gift for my younger brother. Looks like I’ll just have to pick up Erica’s book for more crafty greatness!
I was totally just looking up ways to make marbled paper today! Thanks for posting this how-to!
These are great crafty ideas, customization and a personal touch go a long long way.
Gotta love this crafty lady! I already have the book, and what’s really great about it is how accessible it is. Love how she customizes things to just add a personal touch. Sweet little video. Montauk looks so inviting!!
There is also a fun way to marble paper with shaving cream! This way is especially fun and easy for kids to do!
Here’s one website on how to do it.

I absolutely love this idea! I’ve been thinking of creating marbled wrapping paper for the holidays and this is a great tutorial. But, can you dip paper into the methylcellulose/ink concoction more than once? Or do you have to redo it for each sheet of paper?
