DIY Bubbles



Bubbles always tend to be very messy around here. Though bubble solution isn't generally expensive, it's always nice to know how to whip up a batch when needed. Certainly saves a trip to the store!

Carefully mix ingredients:
1 cup Dawn or Joy detergent
10 cups Distilled water (you can try tap water first to see if it'll do okay. Mine was fine.)
1/4 cup Glycerin or White Karo syrup

(Of course you could always cut the recipe in half or whatever your needs may be).

Then look around for things you can use as wands. Some ideas:
  • clean flyswatters
  • sour cream/yogurt lids w/ holes
  • pipe cleaners
  • cookie cutters
  • slotted spoons or spatula
  • coat hangers (wire)
  • make a circle w/ your thumb and pointer finger, dip it in the solution!
