As you can see, the bubble wrap leave a lot of points of different tones of green over the paper plate and it creates a truly beautiful and funny effect.

Jellyfishes with paper plates and fabrics
If your children prefer sea animals, these jellyfishes are a really fun option for doing paper plate crafts. For making this craft, you’ll need paper plates, pieces of fabrics with different textures, some paper for the eyes and paint.
