How to make homemade bubbles:
- 1/4 cup liquid dishwashing detergent
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Put the dishwashing detergent in the water. Carefully stir in sugar, trying to avoid suds. Take a regular drinking straw and cut into 4 pieces. Then dip into the solution and blow your bubbles. Tie a rope loop up to a foot in diameter on the end of a stick and make a gallon of bubbles. Dip the rope in the bubbles and run with them. This will give you giant bubbles.

March 16, 2017 at 1:51 pmIt is a scientific thing about the surface tension on regular water. That is what creates the bubbles is the amount of surface tension so to make the bubbles bigger and better adding something like sugar or corn syrup makes the surface tension better for forming the bubbles.
