A few months ago, after a few lousy bottles of bubble juice, I was inspired to make some homemade bubble solution. I did a little research, got a couple of recipes, even bought a bottle of gycerin, and then, well, forgot completely about it! :) So yesterday when my son was starting to go a little (okay a lot!) stir-crazy in the afternoon I said let's make bubble juice. It took less then a minute to whip up. We then tried to find things around the house to create our own wands. The bubble juice worked fabulously, though the two store bought wands were by far better then our homemade wands.
Bubble Recipe:
1 cup water (Petaluma tap water worked great, though according to the internet distilled is best)
4 tablespoons dish soap (according to my research dawn and joy work best, we used dawn)
2 tablespoons glycerin or light corn syrup (tried both and they worked equally well)
