How to Make Giant Bubble Wands With Two Sticks

Who doesn't delight to the magic of bubbles?

Bubble wands are devices capable of making large floating bubbles once dipped in a soapy solution. The joy that bubble wands bring has attracted enthusiasts who mix bubble-making solutions and wand materials to make the biggest bubbles possible. Bubble wand artists are commonly seen at fairs and festivals delighting onlookers with giant bubble-making techniques and tricks. Making your own bubble wand using two sticks is an affordable and easy craft project.

Things You'll Need

• Ruler
• 2 marshmallow sticks or something similar
• Scissors
• 6 feet of string
• Clear tape
• Heavy key chain ring

Instructions

1. Measure and cut 2 feet of string.

2. Hold one end of the 2-foot string to the tip of a stick with your thumb. Next, wrap tape around the stick and string to secure them together. Repeat these steps using the other end of the string and the second stick.

3. Hold the ends of the remaining 4-foot piece of string together and then place a finger on the loop at the other end of the string. Insert this loop into the key chain ring. Next bring the two loose ends of the string toward the loop, moving them over the ring and then through the loop. Pull the two loose ends of the string until the loop cinches tightly on the ring. The ring now hangs from the string.

4. Attach one end of the 4-foot string to the left side of the string attached to the stick. Tie the string 2 inches away from the left stick. Next, attach the other end of the 4-foot string to the right side of the stick-attached string. Tie this string 2 inches away from the right stick. The 4-foot string hangs like a "U" from the 2-foot string. Your giant bubble wand is now ready to make amazing bubbles.
