Rainbow Bubble Art

This week my pet unicorn, Sprinkles, has a very special event back home at the Cotton Candy Kingdom with her family. I miss hanging out with her when she is out of town– but she is basically the equivalent of royalty in her land… so I try to be understanding. Anyhow… we had a huge storm yesterday afternoon. It had it all– pouring down rain, hail, wind, thunder, and lightning. So instead of watching Netflix all afternoon, my little sister and I decided to make some of our own rainbows inside with Rainbow Bubble Art!

It is honestly one of the most relaxing and beautiful projects ever. We made many many pieces of bubble art that afternoon. You should totally try it too!

Here is what you’ll need:

Bubble Solution

Food Coloring or Liquid Watercolors

Watercolor Paper

Straws

Tape

Small Cups or Bowls

Let’s do this!

1.) Tape some of your straws together (we used 7 per wand).

** You can certainly do this project with regular store bought bubble wands. I have found that this homemade wand makes fuller and larger bubbles for maximum color. ** 

2.) Fill each of your small cups or bowls with bubble solution and mix in the coloring of your choice. We used about 10-12 drops of food coloring in each of ours for deeper colors.

3.) Dip one end of your bubble wand into one of your colored solutions and blow some beautifully bright bubbles onto your watercolor paper. You can let the bubbles sit there and pop at their own rate or pop them yourself.

** We also kept a small shot glass of water and a paper towel next to us to clean off our wands of different colored solutions. We called it “shot and blot”…. I know what you are thinking– we are cool. Ha. The shot glass twas the perfect shape and size to dip our wands. Also, make sure if you are doing this project in doors with little ones that your cover your table and any carpet that maybe under them as dripping may occur and lets be real… we are playing with dye.**
