Trim bubble wrap so that it smaller than your paper. I used a piece of 8x10 white paper 2. Place a piece of brown paper down to protect your table. I cut up a brown shopping bag to use as my drop cloth. 3. Place bubble wrap on brown paper with bubbles facing up 4. Choose what color tempera paints I want to use 5. Shake up the paint color you chose and pour a little bit of paint on to your palette - do this step for all of the colors you picked 6. Take a paint brush and dip it into your first color and then begin painting on the bubble wrap - I painted circles first - you can paint whatever design you want- 7. Continue to dip your brush into all the colors you picked making sure to clean your paint brush in your container of water after each color 8. Repeat step 6 and 7 for adding more colors 9. *** Your paint can overlap and mix together on the bubble wrap 10. After you have all of the paint you want on the bubble wrap pick up your white paper and carefully place it on top of the bubble wrap 11. Now use your hands to rub the white paper (back and forth/ up and down/ circular motion ) 12. When finished rubbing carefully lift up the white paper to get your “print” painting 13. You can keep using your bubble wrap to make more “prints” just keep adding more paint and repeat steps 6 - 12 Directions for Painting on Bubble Wrap Continued

14, When you are ready to make your last print you can press really hard on the bubble wrap and pop the bubbles (it is easier to pop the bubbles if you start at the bottom of the paper and push your fingers up towards the top of the paper) then lift up your white paper when you are finished popping the bubbles

You can reuse the bubble wrap several times if you do not pop the bubbles.

You can also wash the bubble wrap with warm soapy water and let it dry completely then you can reuse it as long as you don’t pop the bubbles
