Offering a gift wrapped with a wrapping paper that we have made ourselves is proof that the we truly like this person!
It's easy to spend money for a gift, but the packaging can make a difference by meaning something for the person to whom it is offered. You can also make a meaningful package for someone. For example: Offer a gift to a frequent traveler, wrapped in a map!

1) Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of acrylic paint in a bubble solution, in a big, shallow bowl and mix well.
2) With straws, blow into the liquid to make bubbles. (If you do not have enough liquid in your dish, tilt it, so the liquid goes to one side), you will need help to soak the paper.
3) Delicately, place the paper on the colored bubbles to print the bubbles on the paper.
