How to Make Your Own Bubbles
What you need:
½ cups of dishwashing liquid (we used Palmolive – Original)
1½ cups of water (distilled is best but tap water works too)
2 teaspoons of sugar (bubbles will form without sugar, but they won’t last as long)
Container with a lid
Homemade bubble wand
PRO TIP: One teaspoon of glycerin or corn syrup will make your bubbles stronger, but it’s not essential.

How to make the bubble solution:
Pour the dishwashing liquid into your container.
Slowly and gently add the water, trying not to make many bubbles in the solution as you do it.
Add the sugar to the mixture and gently stir.
How to make the bubble wands:
Bubble wands are super easy and fun to make using pipe cleaners, kebab sticks or even twigs! Here’s how…
Twist and bend the pipe cleaners into different shapes.
TIP: You can wrap them around objects like small pots to get the perfect bubble wand shape that you want.Then twist the remainder of the pipe cleaner up around the stick/twig.
