Method

Cut out a large cardboard snail. Leave his shell empty. If you like, you could always use clear or coloured cellophane for the shell.

Paint in the snails lower body and tentacle eyes. Cut out small pieces of bubble wrap. Either paint over the piece with paint, or fill a plate with paint and dip the bubble wrap onto the plate.
