- Bubble Wrap
- Something to lay down for mess
- Glue
- Scissors
🖌️ How To Make Horton Hears a Who Bubble Wrap Art
- Step 1: Start by downloading the Horton Hears a Who template.
- Step 2: Lay down something to keep your surfaces clean. Cover the bubble wrap (bubble side up) with pink paint.
- Step 3: Put the painted side down on a piece of white cardstock and gently press.
- Step 4: Lift off and let the paint dry. Be very careful here so you don't smear.
- Step 5: Open the template and print the flower onto the painted paper area. Print the eyes on white paper, Horton needs to be printed on gray paper and the stem of the flower can be printed on green paper.
- Step 6: Cut out the pieces and glue them together to assemble. You might need to put two cardstocks together.
💡 Pro Tip: Try using softer pastel shades instead of gray for a more whimsical version of Horton that feels extra cheerful and kid-friendly.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Double Layer Bubble Wrap: Use two thin layers of bubble wrap stacked together for painting to create a softer, more varied texture that looks richer when stamped.
- Soft Blending Zones: Lightly dab two colors onto different sections of the bubble wrap to create subtle color blends when printing without muddying the overall design.
- Gentle Wrinkle Technique: Slightly crumple a small piece of bubble wrap before applying paint to mimic Horton’s wrinkled skin texture without needing drawn details.
- Elevated Features: Mount Horton’s ears or trunk separately on foam squares to lift them slightly off the page, giving a simple three-dimensional pop.
- Highlight Touches: After stamping, add soft white highlights along edges of the printed bubbles to give Horton’s body a gentle, animated glow.
- Tiny Clover Accent: Craft a small pink puff or draw a mini clover in Horton’s trunk after finishing the main print to tie the design back to the story subtly.
