Soap Bubble Art - Materials and Equipment

In order to blow soap bubbles you will need a bubble solution, a container to keep it in and a bubble wand. In case you forgot how to make the solution, here is the 'recipe' again:
equal parts of water, dish detergent and corn syrup (not really necessary), or you can also use 1 part of dish detergent on 3 parts of water.

The size of the container depends on the size of the wand and the volume of the mixture. Wands can be either bought or hand-made and can vary from small circles to large. Here are some home made wands; as you can see, even the plastic wrapping material which keeps soda cans together can function as a bubble wand.


The size of the wand determines the starter size of the bubble. Of course you can increase the size of the bubble by slowly blowing more air in it, but that will ensure the bubble is very thin and fragile and could burst sooner.

I don't expect anyone being in need of instruction on how to blow soap bubbles. I would recommend not to blow bubbles when it is rather windy outside; they will blow over and fast too!
