How to make it
Safety
Soap stings eyes, so blow away from faces and rinse with water if it splashes.
1Mix the solution
Stir the water, soap and glycerin slowly. Don't whip it into foam.
2Let it rest
Leave it for 1 hour if you can. Rested solution makes stronger bubbles.
3Bend the wands
Twist pipe cleaners into circles, hearts, stars and triangles with a handle.
4Dip and blow
Dip a wand, lift it out slowly and blow gently. Or wave it through the air.
5Test the shapes
Look closely. Every bubble comes out round, even from a star wand. A round shape holds air with the least soap skin.
Edie's tipBubbles last longer on cloudy, damp days. Dry wind pops them fast.
