Distress oxide and Bubbles

Hello there! This is Annalisa and I've got a fun project you can do yourself and with your kids.  This idea was totally inspired by my two little ones.

Recently I was outside with my two little boys and one of our favorite things to do is blow bubbles.  We always have so much fun with this. The boys love chasing them around, especially my 1 1/2 year old Liam.  Riley my almost 4 year old of course has fun chasing them, he says we got to catch them all. But recently he's been learning to blow bubbles himself and he's been loving it.

So one day after we were blowing bubbles outside as I lay in bed I was thinking about crafty things and fun things I could do.  Then the thought of using bubbles with distress oxides came to me.  Distress oxides are still very new to me but I am having a lot of fun experimenting with them. If you don't know already distress oxides react with water.  Well bubble solution is just water with dish soap so why not.

I had to try this out and I am very happy with the results. It made me feel like a kid again. I created a full tutorial and card over on my blog and YouTube channel if you'd like to see that whole process and see more about how this can really work check out the links below.   Also at the end see my oldest Riley in action trying out this craft and some more bubble fun.

After experimenting with this idea myself I was thinking this would be a great project for kids too. It's so simple to do too!!

Just three simple steps:

1. Grab a piece of  your favorite card stock or water color paper


2. Blend together your favorite distress oxide inks on the paper (distress inks might work too)



For our project we used Broken China & Cracked Pistachio


3. Blow bubbles onto the paper and see how the oxide inks react


 Ta Da!! Repeat the process till you're happy with the results and you will have a very unique piece of art.
