Make your own Soap-Bubbles

When you want to blow soap-bubbles, remember to ask your parents where you are allowed to blow them, since the solution have a tendensy to make spots on furnitures, rugs and windows if you blow them indoors.
Also remember it is dangerus to run after the bubbles on the street or driveways, so, think before you blow soap bubbles, and remember to to dry the solution up, when you blow them indoors.

Here is a list of things to use:

 You can use many things to blow the bubbles through, such as=  Pipe-cleaners, drinking straws, a piece of wire
a funnel, and every materiel you can bend or form in different ways to blow your bubbles through.
Use your inagination,and make new and exiting forms on the material, in that way your bubbles will be more funny.

Here is some good bubble formulas   that works fairly  well.

1 cup Ultra dishwashing soap (or another good soap)
12 cups water
3/4 Tablespoon glycerine

Gently stir the ingredients together and leave the solution in an open container overnight .
This gives the alcohol on the dishwashing soap a chance to evaporate some. In any case, the solution seems to get better with age.

Put a smaller amount of solution into  a smaller container, so that it  easily can be carried  around.

For long-life bubble solution  try the following recipe:

1/3 cup commercial bubble solution (the sort  you get in a toy store)
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup glycerine

As you can see this is a much heaver solution with all that glycerine. 
This is what to do:

Use an empty clean marmelade glass (or jar). Smear it inside with the solution, ( also smear the lid )
With a straw blow a large bubble into the glass, quickly put the lid on and tighten it.
Seal it with strong tape, or wax. ( A bit of stearin from a candle can be meltet and used )
You can now  experience that this bubble in the glass, will last for about 3 month.

Have Fun !
