Homemade Bubble Solution

Recipe 1: Best Homemade Bubbles

You'll need:

1 cup water
4 tablespoons dish washing liquid
2 tablespoons light karo syrup or 2 tablespoons glycerin

You can buy small amounts of glycerin at your local pharmacy or you can purchase it by-the-gallon online. Mix all the ingredients together and get making bubbles! Bubbles will immediately pop when they hit a dry surface. Enjoy long-lasting bubbles by refreshing your bubble wand often and by keeping your environment wet.

Recipe 2: Homemade Colored Bubbles

You'll need:

1 cup granulated soap or soap powder
1 quart warm water
Liquid food coloring

Start by dissolving the soap in the warm water. Then, stir in the food coloring. Add in drops until you've attained your preferred color intensity. Distribute the colored solution to each bubble blower in a small can, cup or jar. Remember that food coloring can stain, so your participants' attire should be considered before you begin.

Recipe 3: Fancy Homemade Bubbles

You'll need:

1 cup of water
2 tablespoons of liquid detergent
1 tablespoon of glycerin
1 teaspoon of sugar

Mix together all the ingredients until the sugar is dissolved. Try using household items to create wild varieties of bubbles. Now that you have your homemade bubble solution mixed, select a suitable container for your bubble activities. Jars and cups work well for small bubble wands. Bowls, buckets and pales are good for medium sized wands. A tray or even a box lined with a garbage bag are ideal containers for the large-wand bubble activities.

Materials to Make Glowing Bubbles

To do this, you will need:

a soapy bubble solution
glow in the dark solution
and a bubble wand

You can use different kinds of glow in the dark solutions. You can use washable glow paint, or you can make your own. It can sometimes be hard to find washable glow in the dark paint, so today I am going to be showing you how to make your own solution using a highlighter pen. A black light will be needed to see it glow in the dark.

How to Make Glowing Bubbles With a Highlighter

First, we are going to open the highlighter pen. Pull out the felt inside, and place it in a small amount of water. Let it soak for a couple of minutes. Remove the felt, and add a small amount of bubble solution in to the cup.
Next, turn on your black light.Using your bubble wand, start blow bubbles.
If you do chose to use glow in the dark paint, add a ratio of half water and half paint. These will glow in the dark immediately after being exposed to light.
