Bubble Wrap Art


Try this idea for printmaking. Tape down some bubble wrap, bubbles up. Paint on the bubbles. We used tempera paint. Press a paper on it, pulling away to reveal a unique dotted pattern! A sponge and water wipes the slate clean to start anew.

*Variation
: Glittery tempera.

*Variation
: Bubble wrap with larger bubbles.

*Variation
: Other textured materials to try lifting prints from- burlap scrap, plywood scrap, grass, gravel path, muffin tin, aluminum foil, welcome mat, wire screen...

*Variation
: Glue items to cardboard and then lift prints. Try buttons, bingo markers, bottle caps, masking tape, leather strips, band-aids, yarn, string...
