Bubble Wrap Art

So I picked up J from school the other day and I could see the look in his eyes when he was walking to my car. The look no mom wants to see… You can tell it was a bad day.

There is the one kid in his class, you know the one, the super popular one that decides who everyone else likes. Well, today he decided that they weren’t going to include J on the playground.  As a mom, you wanna stomp right into the school find that kid, and teach him a thing or two.

Instead, I made a few changes to a process art project I had planned for the weekend to relive some of J’s stress.

  2. Then pinch the center of your heart to snip a starting point. Continue to cut out the center of the heart. Again, you will not see your lines so don't worry if any of them show. Place your hearts off to the side, with your 4 plain sheets of cardstock.
  3. Next, on a sheet of wax paper, squirt out a few stripes of your acrylic paint colors. You will want at least 2. Make sure they are colors that will blend well.
  4. Use a pallet knife to spread out the paint into an even layer at least the size of your quarter sheet of paper.
  5. Cut a piece of bubble wrap slightly smaller than your paper. Place it bubble side down on the paint and press down.
  6. Now move the bubble wrap paint side down to a plain sheet of your cardstock.
  7. Peel the bubble wrap back off to reveal your print!Continue this on each sheet of plain cardstock. You should easily get 4 with the same paint and bubble wrap.
  8. Once your pattern has dried attach the cut hearts on top using glue. Be sure to add the glue to the side of the heart where any pencil marks have been made.
  9. Trim off any uneven edges on your design.
  10. Last, you can add names or messages onto your hearts.
