GIANT BUBBLES

11. Make your own Super Giant Bubbles and homemade Bubble Wands.

Make your own bubbles sounds easy, right?  Just dump some dish detergent into a [whatever] and dilute with some water.  Well, no. 
You can find several "recipes" for giant bubbles & wands on the internet.  Just do a search.  I found a recipe in a magazine called Sweet Paul.  Not only was it not as easy as mixing water & detergent, I actually had to special order an ingredient.  And once all the ingredients were carefully mixed and skimmed, we had to wait 24 hours before using the mixture  :-)

In the end it was worth it.  We made the wand using 2 sticks, string & a washer.  The mixture was a combo of glycerine, dish detergent and distilled water.   It took some practice but we ended up getting some amazing bubbles.




 
$7 glycerin
