   • If you can't find glycerin, try corn syrup instead. These two materials are different, but have the same role.

3. 

   Stir the ingredients together, but be careful not to foam. It's best to use a long-handle spoon to stir, as this will make less foam. Continue stirring until the soap, powder, and glycerin are dissolved.

4. 

   
   
   Wait at least 1 hour before playing. Sometimes the cornstarch does not dissolve and settle on the bottom of the bowl. Then just stir a little.

Method 3 of 4: Color bubble blowing solution

1.

4. 

   Stir 5-10 drops of food coloring into each jar. Remember that this is only enough if you divide the solution into four vials. If you split into fewer jars, you will have to use more color.
   • You can also replace food coloring with liquid watercolors. These two colors are not the same but both produce beautiful colors.
   • To create glowing bubbles in the dark, you can use a hint of glow or fluorescent colors. Remember that these bubbles will appear most brilliant under a light ultraviolet.

• Bubbles usually last longer on humid days.
• Blow bubbles outdoors when the temperature drops to freezing. The bubble will freeze too!
• Reuse the old bubble blower or make a new one with the pipe cleaning brush! The bigger the stick, the bigger the bubble!

Warning

• DIY bubble blower will not be as durable as commercial liquid. If the solution starts to become cloudy or has an odor, discard it.
