Oh, man…I have been meaning to post this for awhile but I kept on getting side-tracked by other things, rats for that!! Good thing you still have 2 months of summer left to get some use out of this post (and trust me you will!)
Okay, so the kidlets and I have really been enjoying our bubbles this summer. Noah and Penelope are both a great age for it plus it’s the perfect activity for this momma to do while I sit on my butt in the heat and humidity 🙂 Yay, for that!! Kids run around burning off all their energy and momma sits…yup, I’ll take that kind of activity any day!!
Not sure if any of you have ever made your own homemade bubble solution before but if you haven’t let me tell you…it’s soooo easy!! And cheap!! You only need a few ingredients to make these rockin’ bubbles and they are seriously the best bubbles I’ve ever had the pleasure of blowing or waving around with a wand…LOVE them!!
What did I tell you…these Bubbles rock!!
Have you ever enjoyed such an awesome bubble like this…and with homemade solution at that!?!
Ok, so this recipe is super easy, here is what you need:
The Best Bubbles Ever
6 cups water
2 cups Dawn dishwashing liquid
3/4 cup light corn syrup
Mix all ingredients together in a LARGE container of sorts…an empty water bottle, milk jug, etc. Shake everything up and let sit for a few hours. Pour into empty bubbles containers or dishes and go wild with your bubble wands!!
Yup, seriously…these 3 ingredients make the BEST BUBBLES EVER!!!
Pour all your ingredients into an empty containter, shake it up, and let it sit for a few hours!
Easy Peasy, right?
Now you are ready for some Bubble-Poppin’ fun!
Go ahead, chase them down…
The faster you run, the more you can *POP*POP*POP*
Or grab a bucket and try to catch ’em in there…
I got this one!
Yeah, these are the Best Bubbles…
EVER!!!
Ok, I’m trying this for sure!! These really do look like the best bubbles EVER!! Wow!
Talk to you soon,
Linds

I was just thinking about googling (is that even a word,lol) how to make bubbles and here you are with this wonderful recipe! Thanks!!!! My kids will be so excited, and corn syrup, who woulda thunk it 🙂 Thanks again!
Corn syrup makes the best bubbles. SOme say that original Joy is the best soap but I don’t see the diff. But corn syrup works way better than the more expensive glycerin.

I was going to make a batch of handmade playdough to throw into my daughter’s handmade bday gift, and this makes me want to had a bubble solution too!
We did bubbles with a store bought thing and they were lame! ahah!
..Now I’m gonna google how to make bubble wands too. yet another thing you added to my to-do list! (it’s ALL your fault!)
Sounds like a great 4th of July project! Thanks for sharing!
I am sure they had the best time with those bubbles, and you certainly got the best photos!
Fantastic! We’re watching the fireworks with friends who have toddlers, so this will give my teenagers a great excuse to chase bubbles too!

Do you think the type of dishwashing liquid makes a difference? I tried a similar recipe with something other than Dawn (or Joy), and I really didn’t have very good luck.
Hooray for bubbles, cute pictures of your kids, and you getting to sit in the shade. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe. Corn syrup, who would’ve thought?

thank you!!!!!!
thank you!!!!!!
YES, I think in order to have good bubbles you have to use Dawn (or Joy maybe, I’ve never used that one though)…and the corn syrup helps so they don’t pop right away!! Also, if it’s super humid where you live I have heard bubbles do not work as well too, but so far we have had good luck with them and it’s been fairly humid over here…boo hoo!

Yay for Super Bubbles! Thank you for sharing the recipe, I think I have just enough Dawn to make a half batch! 🙂
bubbletastic! I will do this henceforth immediately!
My kids dumped out bubbles out today! I will make this! THanks!
love this recipe! We use fly swatters as bubble wands and they are fantastic for hundreds of bubbles at once!
Wow, those are some fantastic bubbles! I’ll have to try this recipe, I’ll be linking as well.
I am in Australia and I don’t think we have Dawn soap?? Anyone know an Australian equivalent?
Fairy Dish washing liquid from Coles is the Aussie equivalent 🙂
I am in Australia and I have not heard of light corn syrup. I sthis available at Woolworths? Which area of the store?
Oh my, I do not know! If you can believe it we don’t have a Woolworth’s here in the States…it’s kinda like honey…so maybe that may be a good substitute?
definitely going to make for next summer! thank you 🙂
For the Aussies, do you have access to golden syrup? its the same as corn syrup and i know its available in britain/ireland. also, dawn=fairy liquid if you have that brand or any decent bubbly liquid dish detergent.
Hi Maggie, I HAVE to make these, they look amazing! The only problem is that I’m not in the US and I don’t know anything about Dawn. I need to find an equivalent in Australia. I see its used a lot for crafty/thrifty ideas so I’m guessing it may be low cost? Thanks for a great blog! Sam
I HAD RECIPE THAT CALLED FOR GLYCERIN BUT COULDN’T FIND..NOW CAN MAKE FOR MY 3 GRANDCHILDREN…
I have tried the glycerin recipe – Big thumbs down ��will be trying this one with corn syrup…. Anyone would about the syrup attracting ants? That would be VERY bad!!
I’ll be trying these for tomorrow’s Memorial Day lunch with my boys and all their cousins! Thanks 🙂
Amazing! And so simple. My girls loved mixing the ingredients and playing with them off course.
Thanks so much for sharing. We will make these over and over again 🙂
Sounds awesome we are in FL and my only concern is the corn syrup attracting bees or wasps?
Wow, you actually found a use for corn syrup.
My son loves bubbles! These look awesome 🙂
Is there a difference in corn syrup and corn starch? I have seen both recipes and was wondering which worked better?
In your picture the Dawn is ultra concentrated. I just have the original. Does that make a difference? heatherhoo@gmail.com
How long do these bubbles last? I’m looking to make these bubbles for a birthday party for my son. How far in advance can I make them? Trying to get as much done early as possible. Thanks
Where can I get the ingredients from to make bubbles ? I live in the UK. Thanks.
Which ingredients are not available in the UK?
