Bubble Art - closeup of bubble artBlowing a mixture of liquid soap, paint, and water through a straw make colourful bubbles that can turn a surface into beautiful art when popped. This is a craft I like to do with my little nieces and nephews, but I blow the bubbles so they don't accidentally ingest anything. This can also be done with water soluble food colouring.

Loved Barbara of ThrifyFun's newsletter post about this project:

"Remember when you were a kid and loved to blow bubbles in your drink? Well put the age old skill to work and create a unique art piece."

That's exactly how it feels to do this art! Thanks, Barbara!
