Hello friends and welcome to this week's Demo!!! We were so inspired by the MAGIC of BUBBLES!!! We’ll be playing with Distress Ink, Food coloring, bubble solution and a few kinds of paper!!
Check out the video here:
To make your own colorful bubble solution, pour roughly an ounce of bubble solution and add color to create a saturated pigment! We found that 15 drops of Distress ink or a few good squirts of food coloring does the trick!!
We created an entire Rainbow for you to experiment with!!
There are a few bubble blowing methods you can explore!
We have 3 ways to blow- Little Straw, Big Straw, and Bubble Wand!
Play around and see what different kinds of bubbles each makes!
Does one make smaller bubbles? Does the saturation of ink change? Which is more fun??
You can layer your bubbles and colors to create some really fun designs!!
One of my favorite methods to get that cool ‘Popping Bubble’ look is to blow a large bubble, let it sit on the surface for a moment and ‘Kiss’ another paper to the bubble!
It will pop in the perfect spot! I just love how it creates a splatter effect around the bubble shape!
Now that we’ve created a few awesome bubble-tastic designs, let’s make a card!!
We have two sentiments you can use: “Sending Happiness Your Way” and “Happy Birthday!” and a rainbow inkpad to ink them with!!
There’s an entire assortment of card base colors for you to choose from! Pick your favorite to match your bubble art and use double-sided tape to attach it!
Decorating the inside of the card is my favorite part!! Blowing bubbles on the card base is fun, but because it’s a lighter weight paper, you can’t blow as many onto the paper.
If you need more bubbles, consider fussy cutting some of your other designs and adding them inside with some double-sided tape!
Thanks for creating such fun bubble art today, we are so glad you were inspired to create with us today!!
This craft station is available All Week!! It is so much fun for artists of every age- bubbles are for everyone!!
