Paper Dress: Sea Star Bubbles


A friend of mine recently shared this photo of amazing sea star online. I was totally in awe of its vibrant colors and unique pattern. Big E and Little E have always enjoyed observing the life of different sea animals. After I showed this photo to them, they were so excited and asked to see more sea creatures at the local pet store. This week, Little E and I decided to make a paper dress about this beautiful sea star!
I drew 3 sea stars with a black sharpie. 
Little E and I spent quite some time to choose the colors and filled the patterns in.


Look how colorful these sea stars are after we cut them out!

The cutting part was not easy for Little E but we worked as a team.


Then I pulled some bubble wrap pieces out. 
Little E painted them with water color - pink, purple, green, and blue.
The water color took a bit longer than we expected to dry.
Maybe next time we can try acrylic paint on bubble wraps.


Here is our 21st paper (bubble wrap) dress made together - The Sea Star Bubbles!
