I have got a giant bubble-ator from here but all the bubble liquids I have tried are too 'heavy' and the bubbles pop even before they have been formed

V frustrating for all

So, has anyone got something like this and where do you get your bubble mixture? I am happy to make my own if you can supply the recipe/proportions (w/up liquid/glycerine/water??)

making your own - its just an experiment to get the proportions right.
you need to make it 24hrs in advance

Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
Get out a large cup.
Pour 1/2 cup dish soap into the cup.
Add 1 1/2 cups water to the cup.
Measure 2 teaspoons of sugar into the water/soap mixture.
Gently stir your mixture.
Go outside and blow bubbles!
Tips:
Don't shake or stir your bubbles too much.
Store your bubbles in a tightly sealed container.
Experiment with blowing bubbles using different items!
What You Need:
Large Cup
1/2 cup Dish Soap
1 1/2 cups Water
2 teaspoons Sugar

Best Homemade Bubble Solution
1 cup water
2 tablespoons light karo syrup or 2 tablespoons glycerin
4 tablespoons dishwashing liquid

Mix together and have fun!

Homemade Colored Bubbles
1 cup granulated soap or soap powder

Liquid food coloring
Plastic straws
Small juice cans

Dissolve soap in warm water. Stir in food coloring until desired color is attained. Give each child a can about 1/3 full of mix and a plastic straw to blow the bubbles.

Fancy Homemade Bubbles
