Learn how to create Bubble Art with Paint and Bubbles with a few simple ingredients. You can learn through directions and pictures and a short video at end of post showing how to do it. Let’s get started!
Several Colors of Paint: Choose your favorite washable paints for colorful bubble art! Bright, bold colors work best.
Step #1 Prepare the Bubble Solution
Mix three tablespoons of bubble solution or dish soap with two tablespoons of paint in a cup.
Step #2 Blow the Bubbles
Please stir well and then add a little water to the mixture. It’s helpful to use shallow cups or bowls for this step. Remember that when bubbles escape from the cup, they may appear transparent.
Step #3
Once the mixture is ready, place a straw in the cup and start blowing lots of bubbles. Hold a sheet of cardboard just below the bubbles to catch them. When the bubbles pop, you’ll be left with colorful spots on your cardboard!
Step #4 Try a Second Technique
To create different effects, try a second technique. Place the straw slightly above the cardboard and blow bubbles directly onto it. When the bubbles pop, they will leave behind perfect colored circles.
Experiment and Have Fun: Don’t hesitate to get creative! Try using different colors of paint or mixing the paint with the soap for new effects. You can also try creating different bubble sizes by adjusting how hard you blow into the straw. The more bubbles you create, the more vibrant your artwork will become!
Finished Masterpiece!
Why Use Cardboard? Cardboard is ideal for this project because it’s thick and durable enough to handle the water and bubbles without becoming soggy. Regular paper can get too wet and rip easily, so stick with cardboard to ensure a longer-lasting artwork.
