Ingredients

• Supplies to make the bubble solution:
• 1 gallon purified water
• 5 cups Unscented and uncolored dish washing soap
• 1/2 cup Glycerin

Preparation

Step 1

Pour the water into a bucket. I used a clean plastic container.
Pour the dish washing soap into the water. Then mix it gently with a wooden spoon.
Pour the glycerin in; mix gently again. You don't want ANY bubbles.

NOTE: Humidity has a lot to do with good bubble making so you might want to add a little more or less water to get a good consistency. Since it is so humid here in August, a little thinner was better.

Supplies for making the wand
2 wooden or poly dowels, about 16 to 24-inch
2 eye screws
3 to 4 1/4 inch nuts (to weigh the line down)
Cotton String (we used kitchen twine)

Directions: The photos will be a help in making the wand

Drill a small hole in the end of each dowel as a started for the eye hooks.
Screw the eye hooks into the holes you just drilled until they are secure.
Cut a 70-inch piece of cotton string. Cut another piece of string that measures 30-inches. You can make the string as long or short as you like just as long as one string is longer than the other.
Put the 3 to 4 nuts through the 70-inch (longer) string.
Put the ends of both pieces of string through one of the eye hooks and tie a knot. Do the same thing with the other eye hook. Now you should have a long string and a shorter one that runs from one dowel to the other.
