I always click”like” before I even start your videos. I wish wish wish I could click “like” 53,867 times because you are incredibly creative and awesome. Thanks for sharing your gift,
I used to do this with school kids using food colors (like for Easter eggs) to get fun bright papers. Those kind might be good backgrounds for the children’s book pages I have been collecting (hoarding) for the junk journal I plan to make some day.
I've never been the first one to comment. I saw no one had commented and I stopped the video to be first but 2 people beat me. 🤣🤣🤣. I'm back to watching the rest of it. 🥰
Barbara I love ❤ how you continuely sacrifice yourself for us by bringing out your inner child to have a play with bubbles!😀💕💕💕 I kept laughing at the sound of you blowing the bubbles lol . I want to try it( but thanks for the warning 😉) Wishing you joy ! 😊 🇨🇦
So much fun and new to me. I’ll try it with my grandkids when they visit this summer. But before then, I’ll make a bunch for myself. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!
Help! I cannot stop…..this is so much fun! My husband may have me committed tho, he gave me a very strange look as he passed by my work station. Thanks for the fabulous idea!!!
Barbara, I am only half way through watching this and already I like the bubble effect much better than splattering or other ways of coffee dying paper! I have not seen this technique at all and think perhaps this is my new obsession. I tend to work on smaller pieces, so this is much more manageable and less messy than spraying and splattering. Thanks for your brave experimenting. (Just remember to blow and not sip through the straw...haha)
Yes, this is a fun old activity from years ago! I did it as a child and again in my art classes! I got great results using pastels for a baby journal! Thanks for the reminder! 😃❤️
Always love your experiments Barbara! Quite a few years ago I visited Vienna for a day (had an all day layover on purpose); rode the Ferris wheel and climbed the 343 steps to the top of St Stephen’s Cathedral, plus lots of walking. I really loved my day in Vienna.
I do this with a coffee cup with a handle. I hold the cup above the paper and let the bubbles overflow on the paper, moving the cup rather than the paper.
So fun. I used to do this with my kids on blank cards and food coloring. They made cute thank you notes. Thanks for bringing back a fun memory. I’ll try it with coffee.
Wonderful....wonderful...wonderful. I'm going to try this today. The difference between the watercolor in a tube and the pan.....mostly concentration. Like one tea bag and 10 teabags. Perhaps using a little less water and more concentrated drops from the WC pans....or just go with the tube paint. It will take some trial and error on the recipe for different mediums. Good play time. Thanks for doing this video and I always love the samples on ways to use these techniques. 5* on this one for sure.
One thing to keep in mind when using paints: watercolors dry lighter in color while acrylics dry a bit darker in color. I never did this in school but know I'll have fun trying this out tomorrow. Recently dyed some paper with beet juice, I'll bet that would have worked nicely as well 👍❤️
Thank you sweetie for this amazing update and reminder about bubble papers!!! About 10 years ago I got into doing this (can't remember from what inspiration) and I had many different jars of different colored inks and soap...that was actually during my quilting days...I'm gonna do this again...your papers are super cute!!! Love ya!!🤗❤
So fun!! And so effective. I particularly like that they dry quickly. I put some bubbles on the back of some ink jet printed digital images and there are no ink runs! Yay! Thanks for the tutorial.
OMG 😆 you are so funny. This is a great video and I can’t wait to do this. Very interesting and no two pages will ever be the same. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Hugs 🤗 DarvaDee USA 🇺🇸
Omg! This looks addicting, I wonder how this would work on light fabric? This is such a cool technique, I'm going to do this with my Grandson. He's 3.5yrs old. He's probably going to think "what in the world is my Nonna doing now"? 😂🤣 TFS 🤗💐🌼🌸🌹❤️
this is great ..in art school we would just add ink to our bubble bottles and blow bubble on the the canvas....this seems a bit more controlled...but blowing bubbles is a joy that knows no age..hahaha
Hey Barbara, I did a stack of papers and index cards with 4 different colors they didn't come out like yours but omgoodness that was fun and they look so good. I told my husband I was getting tired lolol he said I should be dizzy from blowing bubbles for so long..... hahaha Have a great day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤
I tried this technique today after watching your video. For one batch, I used purple Hawaiian Punch drink mix for the color and it turned out beautifully! I put photos on Instagram and tagged you. Thanks for the inspiration!
After watching your video I had to go and play with the bubbles myself. I got a beautiful blue green color that left beautiful bubble marks. Then I thought, what if I Sprinkled a little glitter in the mixture. I did and it came out beautiful. Just a hint of sparkle to the bubble outlines. Thanks for your great video.
👍👍What a fabulously fun activity! I love the look of the bubbles on paper and can't wait to try this out with my youngest. It's rare when someone gives an adult permission to just have fun. Thank you, Barbara.🤗🥰
Wow, often times the most amazingly beautiful and fun techniques are the most simple and affordable ones. Thank you dear Barbara for sharing this great resource and inspiration! I can’t wait to try it out!
Liebe Barbara, die Papiere sind richtig schön geworden. Man kann auch mit Rasierschaum tolle Effekte herstellen. Der Briefumschlag mit dem Hammer Schmetterling 🦋 ist richtig toll. LG und Drückerle Dany 🥰👍
This looks like so much. I'm going to have a play With this. I'm sure my great grands will love it too. They'll be finished with school soon. Thanks so much for showing us how to make some. Lots of love to you. 🤗🤗🔵🟣
Super genial und easy und es scheint einen Riesenspaß zu machen. Das werde ich auf jeden Fall ausprobieren, liebe Barbara. Danke fürs Zeigen! Liebe Grüße, Doreen 😘
I love is. I really enjoy how you try different things and then correct along the way if results are now what you want. This is a fun way to make backgrounds. I enjoy the video very much. tfs. dee
I tried this with my 2 5-year old nieces and it was a big hit. Everybody had a great time and I ended up with some very pretty papers. thanks for the tutorial!
Barbara, I am rewatching the video and working with the bubble right now. I found that holding the paper over the liquid and then blowing the bubbles up to meet the paper also works well and gives a very bubbly effect!
I'm amazed that your were able to connect the 2 envelopes with a zigzag stitch in one try! I'm going to give it a try. I have a feeling I will end up with the 'messy stitch' look!!!
Oh I remember doing this when I was little. It was fun but I totally forgot about it! Tip: if you want bigger more stable bubbles (for bigger paper) add a tiny bit of glycerine (and bigger container obvious🙈). This would be cool with food dye too. I'm definitely doing this with my son. Oh we have bubble guns! We can do it outdoors and catch the bubbles😄. I imagine it's hard to stop and the results are brilliant😍. Oh the blue is so pretty 😍. Oh the butterfly is GORGEOUS 😍 and the yellow works really well. Absolutely brilliant. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Love this technique. Love the bubble effect it gives to the different papers and envelopes. Looks so cool. Be great if you are doing a sea or water scene.I guess. Thank you for sharing this technique and I will definitely be trying this new look. Love it.

Aaaaw you are the sweetest! ☺️❤️❤️❤️
If I weren’t watching this just before midnight I’d be pulling out items to make some bubble paper for myself. So cool!
Same feeling here
I made a bunch of bubble paper! I used clothing dye and food coloring. They worked great!
Well the 6 year old in me can’t wait to play. A fun new technique (to me). Thanks for sharing.
It is so interesting that this has come around again. I still have some papers that I did 28 years ago. Fun memories. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
I used to do this with school kids using food colors (like for Easter eggs) to get fun bright papers. Those kind might be good backgrounds for the children’s book pages I have been collecting (hoarding) for the junk journal I plan to make some day.
That looks like a lot of fun! Like being a big kid! Husband: "What did you do today, dear?" "Oh, I blew bubbles in my coffee!" 😄
😂😂😂
Love this response @😁
I've never been the first one to comment. I saw no one had commented and I stopped the video to be first but 2 people beat me. 🤣🤣🤣. I'm back to watching the rest of it. 🥰
OMG... so simple but with stunning results!! With a limited income I"m always looking for ways to spice up my base pages.
I can’t stop smiling when you blow bubbles…
I love the way you speak and laugh when you like the results of the experience. It's so funny. And thanks for sharing this to us. Hugs 🇵🇹😘
Barbara I love ❤ how you continuely sacrifice yourself for us by bringing out your inner child to have a play with bubbles!😀💕💕💕 I kept laughing at the sound of you blowing the bubbles lol . I want to try it( but thanks for the warning 😉) Wishing you joy ! 😊 🇨🇦

So much fun and new to me. I’ll try it with my grandkids when they visit this summer. But before then, I’ll make a bunch for myself. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!
Help! I cannot stop…..this is so much fun! My husband may have me committed tho, he gave me a very strange look as he passed by my work station. Thanks for the fabulous idea!!!
😂😂😂❤️
I have done this with food coloring & a set of bubbles for wedding favors that I found at Dollar Tree. You are right it is addictive!
Ohh nice technique, we become children again with those bubbles ❤️❤️❤️
What a great idea I can't wait for my daughter to come back home to make it with her ❤

The randomness of the design is incredible with this technique! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Absolutely love this, Barbara. Looking forward to having a play. Thank you!
Yes, this is a fun old activity from years ago! I did it as a child and again in my art classes! I got great results using pastels for a baby journal! Thanks for the reminder! 😃❤️
I love use Easter egg dyes and or food coloring.
These are awesome!!! It is a new technique for me. I never did this craft as a child. I love the effect. Wow, a new idea, love it!!
Always love your experiments Barbara! Quite a few years ago I visited Vienna for a day (had an all day layover on purpose); rode the Ferris wheel and climbed the 343 steps to the top of St Stephen’s Cathedral, plus lots of walking. I really loved my day in Vienna.
How cool! I’m so happy happy you enjoyed you little adventure! 😃❤️
I used to do this with grandkids when they where young and forgot all about it 😂 thanks for the reminder 💕
I'm definitely trying this! I bet that light color would look good on black....
I do this with a coffee cup with a handle. I hold the cup above the paper and let the bubbles overflow on the paper, moving the cup rather than the paper.
So fun. I used to do this with my kids on blank cards and food coloring. They made cute thank you notes. Thanks for bringing back a fun memory. I’ll try it with coffee.
Wow, what a great idea and good fun too. Who'd have thought you could do this. Thank you so much. I know what I'll be doing this weekend!!! xx

Oh yes!
This made me chuckle I bet I can get 6 grandkids helping lol so cute
😃❤️👍🏻
I did this and they came out great. Then I put soap in some blue dye and did it in blue. Yep,...addicting!!! Thx for a great video.
Austin,TX USA

I tried this technique for the first time too. I am having such fun!

Habe fun sweetie! Love you too! 🥰
You always come up with new ideas. It's wonderful. I'm going to share this with my disability support service's craft group
I had so much fun blowing bubbles this morning. I made some beautiful paper
I love this so fun!!!! I think the light colors would be beautiful on black paper❣❣❣❣
So fun!! And so effective. I particularly like that they dry quickly. I put some bubbles on the back of some ink jet printed digital images and there are no ink runs! Yay!

What a fun idea! I’ll definitely be giving this a try.
Have fun! 😃
So much fun! The different paints have different opacities (see thoroughness) and it should say on the tubes where it stands in the range.
I'm going to do this.
Wow, often times the most amazingly beautiful and fun techniques are the most simple and affordable ones. Thank you dear Barbara for sharing this great resource and inspiration! I can’t wait to try it out!
Watching you while traveling!
I've never seen this done before and am just delighted with it! Thank you so much for sharing.

Danke! Hab ich mit Rasierschaum auch schon gemacht, aber das riecht Jahre später noch sehr stark! 🤪😂
Brilliant, I love the ones you done, yes funny how we both made them on the same day. Xx

“Barbara’s Bubble Paper”. Thinking of recruiting the neighbor kids. We could mass produce in no time. Great summer fun.
I love this idea, the affect is wonderful. I can’t wait to try it.
You are so right, super addictive it sure is!
I tried this with my 2 5-year old nieces and it was a big hit. Everybody had a great time and I ended up with some very pretty papers. thanks for the tutorial!

LOVE this!!! I sense a happy weekend of bubble play ahead for me!
Have fun! 😃❤️
