Bubbling Up Pictures

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. 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. 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. 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. Cut more paper into a speech bubble. Write a funny caption on it. Glue it to your photo!

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Sponges and Foam—Sponges, foam, and other expandable materials should not be used with children 3 years old and younger.

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!
