directions and recipe for how to make bubble solution

DIY bubble solution

  • 6 cups distilled water {i read it was better than tap water}
  • 1/2 cup Dawn dish soap (I used ultra concentrated)
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoons glycerin (can get on Amazon or craft store cake isle – helps to make the solution smooth and stretchy)

I dumped all the ingredients in a large bowl. Using a fork I carefully mixed to dissolve the cornstarch and mix in the glycerin that settled to the bottom. My kids used their fingers to mix it too .

Our store bought bubbles never got that long and strong! Kids love having competitions to see whose bubble was the biggest, longest, lasted the longest, floated the farthest, or went the highest.

DIY Bubble Wands

Best Bubble Solution

You have lots of choices for how you will blow your diy bubbles! You can use wands you have on hand, make your own with rope or pipe cleaners, or any other creative idea your kids have. This is great for some scientific exploration!

We love using pipe cleaners to make our own bubble wands. They worked GREAT! We also used string fed through two straws and tied together to make the large wand for our really big bubbles. I recommend making the string about 24″ long. Any bigger and it is hard to not pop before you make the bubble.

My toddler had a great time making bubbles with our DIY Bubble Wands. The solution was silkier than the kind in the bottle and even with the smaller wands made some great bubbles!

Giant bubble solution

My kids were amazed by the large bubbles we made float throughout the yard. We tried non-traditional bubble wands like a tennis racket – which made TONS of bubbles at one time. You’ve got to try this! We used melon crates, and anything else I could find that made a big bubble wand. It was fun to see the kids get creative in trying anything they could get their hands on. Some worked, and some didn’t.

    Can you tell me where you purchased light corn syrup tablets? I have looked up glycerin tablets (constipation suppositories) and baking powder tablets (alka seltzer) but cannot find corn syrup tablets. Do these ingredients need to be purchased in the tablet form?

    1. Beth Gorden Avatar

      I think you misread… it is just light corn syrup (no tablet) – so kitchen isle. The glycerin is also a liquid and if you click the word glycerin it will show you the product you can buy for about $5 conveniently from amazon. ENJOY!

    I apologize for my previous comment…I realize now the TAB means tablespoons, not tablets. Please disregard.
