Bubble Stationary!


For this project, you are encouraged to blow bubbles with your straw - nay, you are REQUIRED. How often are you told that not only is it acceptable to blow bubbles through a straw, but it is necessary? Um, how about never?!

Until today, that is.

With only a few supplies you can make unique and awesome stationary. Plus, you can have a lot of fun doing it.

List of supplies:
-white computer paper
-white envelopes
-small bowls, one for each color
-straw
-food coloring
-1 teaspoon dish washing soap
-1 teaspoon sugar
-1/2 cup of water

Mix the water, sugar, dish soap, sugar and ten or more drops of food coloring together in a bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Using your straw, blow bubbles in the mixture! The bubble mixture should extend above the rim of your bowl.

Your should protect your work space. I did not and ended up getting food coloring on the kitchen counter. 
Take an envelope or piece of paper and gently place on top of the bubbles so that the bubbles pop.


Repeat until the paper or envelope is completely covered! Don't forget about the back of your envelopes - they need some bubbly love too. 









It is so bubbly and fun! Once the paper dries, write a letter to someone! Not only do you now have totally unique stationary, but it cost next to nothing.
