How do you make homemade bubble solution?

Question

We love bubbles in our house, but we are trying to save money. I want to make my own bubble solution, I've done it before but forgot how. Can you help?

Answer 1

Making your own blowing bubbles

Materials Needed:

1/2 cup dish soap
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions:
Mix all 3 ingredients together. Don't stir or shake too much! :-) Store in a sealed container. Experiment with blowing bubbles using different items.

Captain's Bubbles:
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup blue dishwashing liquid,
1tsp. salt
1tsp glycerin to make even better bubbles(optional)

Combine well, but do this gently. Use as you would any other bubbles.

Best Bubble Solution

1 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Light Karo syrup or 2 Tablespoons Glycerin
4 Tablespoons Dishwashing liquid

Combine well, but do this gently. Use as you would any other bubbles.

Tip: Do not use cheap dish soap. They are thinned out and do not work well. I have had best successes with Ajax, Dawn and Joy. Dawn blue seems to be the best.

Mix together and have fun :-)

Answer 5

mix 1/2 cup Joy or Dawn dish soap (no other brands they do not work well) with 5 cups of cold water. (measure carefully it really does make a difference.) and stir. add 2 tbls glycerine (helps the bubbles last longer but can be omitted.
you can you a string with two straw sides, you can use a bent coat hanger, if you have a big flat pan it works better for the BIG bubbles.
this works well for little bubbles but its makes the Giant bubbles as well.

Answer 6

We used to use dishwashing liquid with a little water.

You need to experiment a bit to get the right mix .

If there is a dollar store near you they sometimes have bubble soap for $1.

Answer 7

Water and dishwashing liquid.
I'm not sure of the ratio of water/liquid, but use a little 'trial and error'.

Answer 8

i thought you use liquid soap but you could fall if you git it on a walking surface but i dont know if its good for the environment if you do it out side but ive done that before

Answer 9

Dishsoap and water!
