The Best Way to blow bubbles
Want to create amazing bubbles that float forever? Here's the foolproof way to do it:
- Start with the right solution. While store-bought works, you can make an even better mix:
- 6 cups of water
- 1/2 cup of dish soap (Dawn or Joy work best)
- 1/2 cup of corn syrup
- Dip your wand slowly and completely into the solution
- Hold the wand up and wait 2-3 seconds before blowing
- Blow steadily - not too hard, not too soft
- For bigger bubbles, wave the wand slowly through the air instead of blowing
Pro Tips:
- Blow bubbles when it's humid outside - they'll last longer
- Avoid windy days
- Let your bubble solution sit for 24 hours before using for best results
