[Handmade Bubbles] Easy to Prepare! Fun Ideas You Can Play with Right Away

Unbreakable soap bubbles

Let's make and play with mysterious soap bubbles that are hard to pop!

When we think of soap bubbles, they’re often described as symbols of things that are fragile and easily broken.

Here, however, we’ll introduce a way to make bubbles that are surprisingly hard to pop.

You only need three ingredients: water, a neutral dish detergent, and liquid laundry starch—the laundry starch really does the trick! Adding it not only makes the bubbles more durable, but also makes it easier to create large bubbles.

Try experimenting with different ratios to find the bubble solution that’s best for you and most resistant to popping.

Easy Home Experiment: Trapped Underwater Soap Bubble

Here’s an idea for underwater bubbles that also leads to learning.

First, fill two cups with water and add a few drops of dish soap to each.

Mix well, then use a straw like a dropper to suck up the soapy water from one cup and drip it into the other.

You should see bubbles form under the water.

Try thinking about why this happens as you do it.

If the bubbles don’t form well, adjusting the amount of soap often helps.

Edible soap bubbles

I accidentally invented edible soap bubbles lol #short #shorts #lifehack #lifehacks #easyrecipe

Have you ever felt like you kind of want to try eating a soap bubble? Of course, you shouldn’t eat regular soap bubbles, but you can make your dream come true by making edible ones.

The method is pretty simple.

First, prepare your favorite hard candy and melt it in the microwave until it becomes gooey.

Let it cool a bit, then attach some to a straw and blow.

Voila—edible bubbles will appear.

If you blow with more force, you can make larger bubbles.

Catching them with your mouth is fun, too.

Soap bubbles made with pipe cleaners

[Done in 1 minute] That bubble thing made with pipe cleaners is a huge hit with kids 🫧✨ #shorts #childcare #crafts

Like a magic wand! Let’s make a cute item that makes blowing bubbles even more fun.

First, prepare a cookie cutter in your favorite shape.

Shape a pipe cleaner along the cutter and twist it to secure.

Next, thread a few beads of your choice onto the lower part of the pipe cleaner.

Twist the tip into a small loop so the beads won’t fall off, and you’re done! The steps are simple and exciting, so try making them with your kids or friends and use them for your bubble play.

[Easy Craft 057] Many Soap Bubble Rods

For those who want to make bubbles with a unique tool, I also recommend a bubble rod.

It’s an item where a piece of yarn is stretched between two sticks, and another piece of yarn is woven through it in a zigzag pattern.

Dip it into bubble solution and lift it up, and you can make as many bubbles as there are gaps formed between the yarns.

You can even make a slightly larger version and have two people lift it together.

It’s easy to make, so I encourage you to give it a try.

Using plenty of bubble solution makes it easier to get good results.

Giant soap bubble

I tried making a giant soap bubble ✨

It’s an idea that everyone has probably admired at least once: giant soap bubbles.

First, prepare a large container and mix in water, cornstarch, and dish soap.

Once it’s ready, tie a string to a couple of sticks to make your bubble wand.

Then head to an open space and have fun.

If you move the wand while it’s coated with the bubble solution, you should be able to create a long, horizontal bubble.

It can be exciting to challenge yourselves to see how big a bubble you can make.

By the way, depending on how you move the wand, you can also make smaller bubbles.

Sugar-filled soap bubbles

Soap bubbles that won't break with sugar?

Let’s make and play with sugar-infused soap bubbles that are hard to pop! Sugar has a hydrophilic property, which means it holds onto water molecules and won’t let them go.

This time, we’ll introduce a bubble solution that takes advantage of that property.

Stir 48 g of sugar into 100 ml of boiling water until it’s completely dissolved.

Next, add 50 ml of liquid laundry starch and 10 ml of dish soap, and gently stir without creating foam.

Let it cool thoroughly, and your bubble solution is ready! Grab a straw or similar tool and give it a try.

Everyone can watch closely as the bubbles stick to various surfaces—like the ground, plants, and more—without popping!
