Bubble mixture recipe that works?

[stressed2007]

Doe anyone have a bubble mixture recipe they know works rather then me spending loads on the bottles of bubbles at ELC? I have tried this before and it did n't work so can someone promise me they have used the recipe before and it works? Thanks

The only thing I've ever had work is real, brandd Fairy liquid,,,,

Just plain washing up liquid with a couple of DROPS of water. Fairy if you must be a ponce about it

on a coiurse we wree told cheap bubble bath and add glycerine

I was going to say washing up liquid, water and glycerin or bubble bath, water and glycerin can be more eye friendly. Don't know quantities though.

Hmmmmm,,,,, glycerine? What does that do?

I don't know tbh, Stablises the bubbles perhaps?

I buy the big bottles from Tesco, which are at least cheaper than ELC. Sainsburys bubbles (in orange bottles) are the best though IMO. We go through a lot here .

Look out for bargains at the end of the summer when supermarkets often sell it off cheap. [sad bargain hunter emoticon!!!]

Funnily enough our pupils did a science experiment a while back called the "bubble challenge".

They found that the cheaper washing up liquids (but not the cheapest I think "morning sun" came out well) definitely made the best bubbles but a few drops of glycerine (but not too much as that makes them more unstable again) makes the bubbles stronger and last longer before they pop. They filled a paddling pool with the solutions and made an enormous cylindrical bubble with a hula hoop round a child.

yes been buying the tesco - but still do about a large bottle ago - on a sunny week that is £8!

will try sainsburys too.

Want to try and make my own so where do I get the glycerine from? pharmacist? And how many drops to how much washing up liquid? ideas?

Thanks all
