Marbleize means to make something look like marble. Here is a fun project to create beautiful one-of-a-kind paper designs  for making your own greeting cards.  Because this process is easy, the entire family can get involved.   You will need the following:

• 140 lb. watercolor paper
• Colored chalk sticks
• Large cake pan (large enough to hold the size of paper you choose)
• Wax paper

Fill your clean cake pan with warm water.  Using a knife or potato peeler, shave off pieces of the chalk into the water.  Don’t be afraid of using many colors.  Lay a piece of your watercolor paper onto the surface of the water which will attract the color.  You can also dip the entire piece of paper for a special effect on both sides.  Remove the paper and place it onto the wax paper to dry. Don’t limit yourself to just greeting cards—use your imagination:

• Scrapbooking
• Matting for photos
• Place mats
• Art
