We had one our young students make disc golf frisbees using Idye packs ! Turned out great! @yyc_levi The process I used to get this red was very simple. I started by putting shaving cream in a pie container the same size as the disc, the next thing I did was fill two cups with shaving cream and mixed red in one and very little grey into the other cup and mixed them up. I then got two forks and spread out the colours to were I wanted the colour to be, after I was done spreading the colour I put my disc on the shaving cream face down and let it sit for twenty four hours. After twenty four hours I took it to a sink and washed off the excess shaving cream and had a pretty cool design. WARNING DO NOT WEAR NICE CLOTHES @ Swintons Art Supply, Instruction & Framing
