  • 1+ piece(s) of paper
  • 1 straw
  • water
  • dishwasher soap

Step 2: Fill Your Container With Bubble Solution

Mix your water and dishwasher soap in a 2-1 ratio (e.x. 1 cup water 1/2 cup soap)

Then pour your mixture into a medium sized container until it is a little less that 3/4 full.

Step 3: Create the Bubbles

Place your straw into your bubble mix and blow some bubbles until they are about 1-2 inches above your container.

After you have some nice bubbles, stir them up with your straw untill they create a frothy mix.

Step 4: Add the Coloring

Drop your food coloring onto the bubbles to add color.

Drop a total of 8 drops of food coloring into the bubbles then mix them well.

You can add more food coloring to the bubbles if you need to.

Step 5: Create Your Desighn

Slowly place your paper onto the bubbles until it touches the top of the container. Place it down slowly and vertically without going side to side. Remove it the same way.

Step 6: Final Steps

Blow off the extra bubbles, by just lightly blowing on them with your mouth towards the sink and let dry!

After placing the bubbles on your paper it may be a bit wrinkly so you can iron it to make it more flat and to dry it out faster

You can use any color of food coloring or multiple colors of food coloring on one page to create tons of cool art!
