Homemade Bubbles
Melody’s obsession during this quarantine has been bubbles. And while we found a bubble machine through grocery pickup early on, we have been having trouble finding bubble solution. I mean we can find small bottles, but every time I order bubbles through grocery pickup, they are out of stock. Well we opted to figure out a way to make our own! We tried two recipes, and both have their pros and cons.
Brad’s Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups of warm water
1/3 cup of Dawn
1/4 cup of corn syrup
Brittany’s Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups of warm water
1/2 cup of Dawn
1/2 cup of sugar
For both recipes, mix them together and let them sit for an hour or so.
We put both recipes in their own Tupperware containers so that we could save them beyond the first day. We found that with a bubble machine, Brittany’s recipe produced the best and most bubbles. However, Brad’s recipe lasted a much longer length of time. We did not test out either bubble with a simple want, however.
My knock on both recipes is that the longer they sit, they produce this cotton candy textured substance when they “pop”. I found that Brad’s recipe did this more than Brittany’s.
Both recipes work and are usable, so for us, it just depends on what ingredients we have and are willing to part with, ha!
