Bubbles
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2/3 cup liquid dish soap
- 2 tbsp white corn syrup or glycerin
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Directions
- Place water into a 2-quart (2 L) container. Add soap, corn syrup and baking powder; stirring gently to combine. Mixture will fizz and go milky, allow foam to dissipate before using. May be prepared to this point and covered for 24 hours or longer.
- Dip a bubble wand or hoop into mixture. Slowly wave bubble wand around to create bubbles.
Tip:
Glycerin may be available in your local pharmacy, or in the baking section of your local craft store or bulk foods store.
Don’t have any extra bubble wands at home? Don’t worry! You can make your own wand by making a loop with a pipe-cleaner or make a yarn loop between two sticks. The best part is you can make them as small or as large as you want!
