Art Recipes: Bubbles Recipes

I got these off a website that has since disappeared. I haven’t tried any of them yet but once I do I’ll start deleting the bad recipes and making notes about the good ones. If you try any, leave a comment below to let us know how it went!

Although these are not the very best bubbles they can be made from things found in any kitchen.

I have never tried this. It is supposed to be for very long last bubbles

(Like for days)

Long Lasting Bubbles

1/3 C water
1/3 C liquid soap.

A simple solution
8 T dish soap
1 Quart water

Notes and Comments

1. If bubbles pop easily or solution does not work well, add more water.
2. Dawn and Joy seem to be the best choices for bubbles. It is the antigrease agent.
3. Bubbles work best on an over cast day.
4. Bubbles love moisture so right after a rain also works well.
5. To catch a bubble just get your hand wet.

Bubble Recipe
2/3 cup Dawn dishwashing liquid (any dishwashing liquid could be used, but Dawn apparently is the best for this purpose!)
Add enough water to make 1 gallon.
Add 1 tablespoon of glycerin.
Let sit open 1 day…it gets stronger with age

Beluga Bubbles
1 Cup Warm Water; 1/4 Cup Blue Dishwashing Liquid; 1 tsp. Salt

Combine all ingredients. Mix well until salt dissolves.

Bubble Recipe I
2 Cups Joy or Dawn (dishwashing soap); 6 Cups Warm water; 3/4 Cup White Karo corn syrup

For best results: combine and shake. Let settle for 4 hours (the longer the better!) This is great bubble soap for those big wands you wave around.

Bubble Recipe II
1/2 Cup Water; 1/2 Cup Liquid Detergent; 1 Tbsp. Cooking Oil

Mix together and use.

Bubble Stuff
1 Part Dishwashing detergent; 1 Part Sugar, Gelatin powder, or Glycerin; 8 to 10 Parts Warm water

Mix all gently (making suds will weaken mixture). The sugar or gelatin is added to make bubbles sturdier.
