I came across this recipe and thought this would be the perfect thing to start my "Weekend Fun" series
The Recipe
12 cups water
1 cup dishwashing soap
1 cup cornstarch
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder (not baking soda)
Place ingredients in clean bowl or bucket.
stir gently
let the mixture sit for a hour
To make to wand
(or you can always use a reshaped wire coathanger)
Two wooden dowels. It doesn't matter how long, it doesn't matter how wide. I bought the standard length at the craft store, which was 36 inches/ 92cm long. Longer ones may let you get the bubble up higher in the air so it lasts longer before it hits the ground. Do make sure the dowels are thick enough in diameter so they do not bend when you hold them out. Mine was 1/2 inch in diameter.
Two small eyelet screws (I didn't even buy these, I had some from a picture frame hanging kit I purchased way back)
Drill or dremel tool with a small drill bit
Tape measure and scissors
Two lengths of cotton string: 100 inches long and 65 inches long.
Two metal washers (for adding weight to the string).
1. Using a dremel tool or a drill with a small drill bit, drill a small hole on one end of each dowel stick. Then screw the eyelet loops into the holes.
2. Measure and cut two lengths of cotton string. One should be 100 inches long. The other should be 65 inches long. Tie the end of the 100 inch string to one of the eyelets. Next, thread two washers on to the 100 inch length of string. Then, tie the other end of the 100 inch string to the other eyelet on the other dowel. It should look like this:
3. Now take the 65 inch long piece of string and tie the end of it to one of the eyelet loops. Tie the other length of string to the other eyelet. The giant bubble maker is now ready to use and should look like this:
So much Fun, Try this, this weekend
