My friend Jennette from Hey Now Hooping and I love to bubble. Like super love!
And if you are reading along, you might too. So here is the 411.
Wands are cheap to make but a pain in the ass to chase down all the parts. You need dowels, cotton yarn, and a way to get the yarn stuck to the dowels. Tie something heavy at the bottom of the yarn so that it has tension for making bubbles. I use a washer, J uses a bolt. Barbie torso would be another option, get creative!
There are two recipes for bubble juice.
Everyday Plain Jayne or Le Fancy.
Plain Jayne Juice
- 16c. warm water
- 2 Tblsp baking powder
- 1c. Joy or Dawn Dish soap
LeFancy Pro Juice
- 16c. warm water
- 2 Tblsp baking powder
- 1/2 tspn J-Lube CPI (online)
- 2 Tblsp glycerin (find at the grocery store)
- 1 cup Dawn Platinum dish soap
Mix dry ingredients, then gently add wet ingredients.
On-site making the big bubble checklist:
- Check the wind, the bubbles will go that way….
- On the grass or a towel cause the juice will create slipperiness
- Kids try to pop them so careful they don’t kick your bucket over
- Dip wands into juice, lift and then open, take a step back, then close to seal off bubble
- Adults like them too!
Way to go bubble master! Tag your pics #CoolHoneysCircus so we can clap and cheer with you!
