30 Nov Make Your Own Organic Blowing Bubbles & Magic Bubble Wands

I don’t know about you, but bubbles evoke my inner happy child every time – since when did we develop the belief system that sitting in the garden blowing bubbles is for kids only?

YOU WILL NEED:

• 2 cups of organic dishwashing liquid or liquid castile soap
• 1/2 cup of sugar; corn syrup or glycerine
• 5 cups of lukewarm water

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pour the castile soap and water into a mixing bowl or plastic container
2. Add the thickener which is the 1/2 cup of sugar; corn syrup or glycerine
3. Put the lid or cap on the plastic container and shake until completely mixed. We suggest you repurpose a reusable plastic container or a mason jar and designate it for making soap bubbles. If you are using a big bubble wand it may be easier to pour the mixture into a shallow pan.
4. Psst: You can also make this the night before and let it sit out for even better bubbles.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR BUBBLE WAND:

1. Find 2 bamboo poles and some strong cotton string.
2. Cut 3 equal lengths of string that will form the top part of the wand hole.
3. Cut 3 slightly longer lengths of string to form the bottom part of the wand. These lengths determine how big the bubbles are.
4. Tie an end to the 3 shorter strings; attach to one side of the pole; and then braid them and tie them to the other pole.
5. Tie the 3 longer strings close to the pole on the top string; braid them and tie them to the other side of the top string.
