Bubble recipe

Here is the Garber family super bubble recipe.  

Mix:
  • 1 gallon of water
  • 3/4 cup Joy or Dawn liquid detergent 
(Not the fancy kinds, just regular Joy or Dawn like they had in the 70s.)
Let sit in open container 2-3 days, then...

Add:
  • 3 - 4 Tbsp Glycerin
Mix together (Stir, don't shake or you get lots of foam) -- gets better with time

Things to make giant bubbles with:
  • Jar rings
  • Strawberry baskets
  • Straws and string tied into shapes
To get the really big bubbles my dad has actual bubble wands he got at a toy store somewhere.  He made more with PVC pipes and canvas straps. He keeps bubble juice on hand in the garage for the occasional day of Utah humidity.  So much fun.

  1. My mom does the huge bubbles, but I don't think she has your great recipe. I'll have to pass it along!
