Mondays are usually my days off and usually the days where I can actually get out and do fun crafts and stuff with Ella. So, I tend to actually do the fun stuff instead of posting about it.
Yesterday, we tested two bubble solutions to see which one did better.
One was a solution of:
2 tablespoons Method dish soap
1 tablespoon glycerin
1 cup distilled water
the other was
2 tablespoons blue Dawn dish soap
1 tablespoon glycerin
1 cup distilled water
The directions for both solutions are the same. Put in a seal-able container, and mix gently.
We found we both liked the Method solution better...mostly because we like the smell of the Method "Clementine" dish soap. They both worked great...as you'll see in the pictures!

Now, for the giveaway...I'm going to give away everything needed to make both bubble solutions, right down to the distilled water. No lie.

Winner will be announced May 16th!

ReplyDeleteaklorgus@gmail.com... We usually get miracle bubbles because they are fairly cheap and you can buy them in a huge container if you wish. Savanna normally makes a mess though because she doesn't pay attention to what she is doing and ends up spilling at least half her solution. I have wanted to try to make a stronger bubble solution for a while because even the miracle solution isn't nearly as thick as the solution I used to use when I was younger. I remember a solution for Miracle Bubbles when we were in our early teens that kind of set up after you blew the bubbles and didn't pop nearly as easily as regular solutions pop. You could stack your bubbles and catch them in your hands if you wanted, but grass still popped them, lol :)
ReplyDeleteHey love! Loving this blog! Looks fun and creative!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool idea to do with my kiddos. I need some new ideas to keep them busy and having fun. I've never done this before with the bubbles. Its always been store bought and usually it's given as a gift from the grandparents. But they love to blow bubbles, especially my four year old. Thank you for sharing this and yay I'm now entered! Lol. xoflowerxo@yahoo.com
I use unconcentrated dawn dish soap

corn syrup
I have to let it sit a day or two for it to work. We go through a lot of this in the Summer.
I've used Dawn dish soap before with distilled water. Usually, I buy the huge tub of cheap stuff. I'm not certain if it's Miracle Bubbles or not. (as you know, my mind has been somewhere else lately.) We LOVE bubbles though! Easy, cheap, and kids can play with them for hours. :) Love the pics BTW. The cats crack me up. ;) lauraruckman@gmail.com
