Secret Formula for making the best big bubble solution

Mix the following together (stir very slowly):

  1. 1.5 cups of Fairy Liquid washing up liquid
  2. 10 cups of luke warm water
  3. 3 table spoons of glycerine (for long lasting big bubbles)
Be careful not to get solution into the eyes. If performing 'person in a bubble trick', make person wear glasses to avoid bubble bursting in eyes. If spilt clear up straight away due to being extremely slippery. The solution may be stored for upto 3 weeks. Don't let people fall into your Bubble Solution (especially Nieces with new dresses)

How to make Giant Bubbles

stage 1 stage 2 stage 3
Dip Bubblestick into the solution. Pull out Bubblestick and let drain. Slowly Pull slider to increase Bubble size.
stage 4 stage 5
Move Bubblestick slowly through the air to form Bubble. Slowly Push slider to release the Bubble.

The size and shape of the big bubble will depend very much on the weather conditions at the time. The skill is knowing when to close off the bubble and releasing it, otherwise the bubble will pop. Many bubbles can be produced from one dipping as long as they get released properly. The really long Bubbles are tubular in shape. Best weather conditions to produce Giant Bubbles are just after a storm.

Bubble Caterpillars

Bubble Caterpillar Hold top bubble of caterpillar with bubble wand. Add extra Bubbles by blowing through a straw into the end bubble (you may have to dip straw into the solution occasionally).

The longest Bubble Caterpillar that I have managed to do was 24 Bubbles long (Is this a World Record?).
For best results do activity inside, keep out of windy conditions.

Bubble Shapes

By combining bubbles many different shapes can be formed, even a Square Bubble.
