After celebrating beachside, we went under the sea!  I love anything watercolor, and these paper bowl jellyfish have such fun movement with their tentacles.

To do this art project with a group, it’s best to have watercolors in primary colors already set up, a couple for each table.  We chose just primary colors so that as the participants painted we could explore secondary colors.   We also put some colorful photos of jellyfish on the tables to give our participants some inspiration.

After the jellyfish were painted we taped on the tentacles!  Curling ribbon, colored cellophane, and crepe-paper strips are all good options to use.  The participants could also add googly eyes to their jellyfish if they wished.

Finally, we hung the jellyfish from fishing line so they appear to swim in the breeze!

How would you design your jellyfish?  If you make one please send us a picture!  We’re on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Until next time, happy creating!
