Instructions
Preparation
- In a plastic cup or bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of dish soap with 1 tablespoon of liquid watercolors or food coloring.
- Add 5 tablespoons of water to thin the mixture. Stir gently to avoid creating too many bubbles.
Setup
- Lay out white paper or cardstock on a flat surface, preferably outdoors or in a space where spills are not a concern.
- Consider wearing an apron or old clothes to protect from any splashes.
Bubble Creation
- Dip one end of the straw into your bubble solution.
- Take a deep breath and blow gently into the straw. Watch as bubbles form and rise!
Painting
- Carefully place the paper over or near the bubbles. The bubbles will pop and leave vibrant prints on the paper.
- Experiment with different colors by creating multiple bubble solutions or changing the angle of the paper.
Drying
- Once satisfied with your bubble prints, set the paper aside to dry completely.
Notes
You can combine different colors for unique combinations, use stencils for shapes, or add glitter for sparkle. Different blowing tools will create varying bubble sizes.
