Bubble Recipes






      Bubbles
      Mix soap flakes and water in a large container. Add food color or tempera, if desired. Pour into cups and blow bubbles with straws or bubble pipes.


      Bubbles 2
      1 cup liquid detergent (or no-tears baby shampoo)
      3 cups water
      Food coloring (optional)

      Pour into cups and blow bubbles with straws or bubble pipes. May add food coloring for colored bubbles.




        Bubble Bath

        2 cups soap flakes (or grated soap)

        1 gallon water

        1/4-1/2 cup glycerin

        2 cups shampoo or liquid dishwashing detergent

        Scented oil



            Mix the soap flakes, water and 2 tbsp.. glycerin in a pot and set over low heat. Stir occasionally until the soap has dissolved. In a bowl, add a 2 cups of this mixture to the rest of the glycerin and shampoo. Add a few drops of scented oil. Put into a quart container and store covered at room temperature. When ready to use, add one cup to the tub as it is filling .






              Giant Bubbles
              1 cup liquid detergent (or no-tears baby shampoo)
              1 cup glycerin (or corn syrup)
              3 cups water

              Food coloring (optional)
              Round bubble blower made of thin wire (6-8 inches in diameter)

              Mix all ingredient together. May add food coloring for colored bubbles.
              To make bubble blower, bend a wire clothes hanger into a circle. To form the handle, twist the hook opposite the circle. Wrap the handle with electrical tape or yarn. For bigger bubbles, wrap the circle with cotton twine. This will help absorb more soap mixture. The rounder the circle, the better it works. Florist wire can be used to make smaller wands with different shapes.


              Bubble Bottle Holder
              Cut hole in bottom of plastic margarine tub. Replace lid. Insert bottle or cup of bubbles. Helps prevent tip-overs .

          I have seen them at local dollar stores, and at craft supply stores.


          Good luck!
