[Handmade] Bubble Solution Ideas You Can Make with Ingredients You Have at Home
Soap bubbles are a beloved pastime enjoyed in parks and gardens.
You can probably picture blowing into a thin tube and seeing spherical films of soapy liquid float through the air.
Some of you—especially those with kids who love bubbles—may be interested in making your own.
In this article, we’ve gathered ideas for homemade soap bubbles using a variety of tools.
We’ll cover everything from simple spheres to extra durable bubbles and even giant bubbles.
Give DIY bubbles a try—you’ll have fun both making them and playing with them.
[Handmade] Bubble solution ideas you can make with materials you have at home (1–10)
Bubble art
How about trying bubble art that you can display and enjoy even after playing? First, let’s make the tool.
Cut off the mouthpiece section of a plastic bottle, then cover the cut edge with a cloth.
Next, make the bubble solution.
Mix your favorite paint with water, laundry detergent, and glue.
Once you’re ready, dip the tool into the bubble solution in the color you like, and blow toward a sheet of paper.
Beautiful patterns should appear on the paper.
Adjust the colors and your blowing technique to create a lovely piece of art.
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.
Soap bubbles made with pipe cleaners
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 chenille stem (pipe cleaner) along the cutter and twist to secure it.
Next, thread a few beads of your choice onto the lower part of the stem.
To prevent the beads from slipping off, twist the tip into a small loop—and you’re done! The steps are simple and exciting to do, so try making it with family or friends and use it for your bubble play.
Bubbles made with a sock and a plastic bottle
Kids are guaranteed to be thrilled! Let’s make fluffy foam bubbles using a sock and a plastic bottle.
First, thoroughly dissolve 5 g of granulated sugar in 100 ml of lukewarm water, then add 5 ml of neutral dish soap and stir slowly so it doesn’t foam.
Your bubble solution is ready.
Next, cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle with a utility knife and stretch a sock over the cut end.
Dip the sock-covered end lightly into the bubble solution, then blow through the mouth of the bottle—soft, voluminous foam will come out more and more.
It’s great fun using materials you already have at home!
Bubbly soap bubbles
Big visual impact! Let’s make a bubbly foam bubble blower.
First, prepare 45 straws cut to about 3 cm in length.
Once they’re ready, cut a clear file folder into a strip and line the straws up on it.
A hot glue gun is recommended for attaching them.
When finished, roll the piece up into a coil.
Finally, cut a 500 ml plastic bottle to about one-third of its height, insert the part you just made, and you’re done.
When you blow bubbles with this, you’ll get a breathtaking display.
Soap bubbles made with soap
Safe even on skin! Enjoy making bubbles with bar soap.
The method is very simple, so it’s easy to try at preschools, kindergartens, or at home.
First, prepare a bar of soap and shave off 1.5 g with scissors or a similar tool.
Next, dissolve the shaved soap in 100 ml of 40°C hot water, then add 10 ml of gum syrup and stir.
Adding gum syrup helps prevent the water from evaporating, so you can make bubbles that are less likely to pop.
Finally, make small cuts in a straw and flare the ends outward—now you’re ready! Gently blow to play with your bubbles.
Sugar-filled soap bubbles
Let’s make and play with sugar-added bubble solution that’s hard to pop! Sugar has a hydrophilic property, meaning it holds onto water molecules and doesn’t let them go.
This time, we’ll introduce a bubble solution recipe that takes advantage of that property.
Add 48 g of sugar to 100 ml of boiling water, stir well, and dissolve completely.
Next, add 50 ml of laundry starch (liquid glue) and 10 ml of dish soap, then stir gently to avoid foaming.
Let it cool thoroughly and your bubble solution is ready! Prepare a straw or similar tool and give it a try.
Watch together as the bubbles stick to various surfaces—like the ground or plants—without popping!
Soap bubbles made with a straw

Prepare 8–9 straws, cut them into 1.5 cm-wide pieces, and line them up on a 50 cm strip of double-sided tape.
Once you’ve attached all the straws, place another 50 cm strip of double-sided tape on top.
Next, roll the lined-up straws into a circle.
Finally, fit the circular bundle of straws into a cross-sectioned (ring-shaped) piece cut from a plastic bottle, and attach a stick such as a chopstick as a handle—done! Using colorful straws gives it a cute, candy-like look, which is highly recommended.
Soap bubbles made with a plastic bottle
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7087163224927358210You can play without blowing! Enjoy soap bubbles using a plastic bottle.
The key is to prepare a soft plastic bottle that dents with a squeeze.
Cut a hole in the cap with scissors and insert the mouthpiece of a bubble wand into the hole—voilà, it’s ready in no time.
Dip the tip into bubble solution and squeeze the bottle to pump out bubbles.
This is a perfect idea for young children who might have trouble blowing bubbles or for kids who want to practice hand and finger movements.
Soap bubbles bouncing on the palm of my hand
Soap bubbles have a fragile image—they seem to pop the moment you touch them.
But you can actually make bubbles you can touch and play with.
First, mix water, dish soap, and liquid laundry starch to make the bubble solution.
Then put on a pair of wool yarn gloves, and you’re ready.
Use any tools you like to blow bubbles.
They look like regular bubbles, but if you’re wearing the wool gloves, you can bounce them on your hands.
The unreal sight is sure to get you excited.
