Why

Have fun with your favorite photos! Let only parts of them show through cut-out bubble letters that sum up your party or vacation fun!

Steps

1. 1. Choose a photograph showing friends or places you really enjoy. With your Crayola Cutter, cut colorful construction paper the same size as the photo. Follow package directions for best results.
2. 2. Think of a short word that says something special about the picture. Write this word in big, wide letters on the paper with Crayola Colored Pencils. Cut around the outsides of the bubble letters so you can see through them. It’s easy to make rounded and interior cuts with the Cutter!
3. 3. Stick self-adhesive foam dots on the back of the word. Place it on top of your photo. Your picture will peek out through the empty letters!
4. 4. Cut more paper into a speech bubble. Write a funny caption on it. Glue it to your photo!

Interesting Info

While we think of a cartoon as an animated short movie, the word was actually used in the late 1500s to describe a large sketch made in preparation for a painting!
