Homemade
Bubbles
Giant Bubbles
1 cup liquid detergent (or no-tears baby shampoo)
1 cup glycerin (or corn syrup)
3 cups water
Food coloring (optional)
Round bubble blower made of thin wire (6-8 inches in diameter)
Mix all ingredient together. May add food coloring for colored bubbles.
To make bubble blower, bend a wire clothes hanger into a circle. To form
the handle, twist the hook opposite the circle. Wrap the handle with
electrical tape or yarn. For bigger bubbles, wrap the circle with cotton
twine. This will help absorb more soap mixture. The rounder the circle,
the better it works. Florist wire can be used to make smaller wands with
different shapes.
Bubble Bottle Holder
Cut hole in bottom of plastic margarine tub. Replace lid. Insert bottle
or cup of bubbles. Helps prevent tip-overs.
Great Bubbles
1 cup liquid detergent (or no-tears baby shampoo)
3 cups water
Food coloring (optional)
Pour into cups and blow bubbles with straws or bubble pipes. May add
food coloring for colored bubbles.
Bubble Bath
2 cups soap flakes (or grated soap)
1 gallon water
1/4-1/2 cup glycerin
2 cups shampoo or liquid dishwashing detergent
Scented oil
Mix the soap flakes, water and 2 tablespoons glycerin in a pot and set over
low heat. Stir occasionally until the soap has dissolved. In a bowl, add
a 2 cups of this mixture to the rest of the glycerin and shampoo. Add a
few drops of scented oil. Put into a quart container and store covered
at room temperature. When ready to use, add one cup to the tub as it is
filling.
