How to Make a Giant Bubble Wand

A giant bubble wand is a big hit with kids and works on the same principle as the smaller, store-bought versions. This wand is simple and quick to make.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Floral Wires
• Shaving Cream Or Liquid Soap
• Electrical Tapes

1. Bend a wire clothes hanger into a circle; for large bubbles, the more perfect the circle, the better it works.

2. Twist the hook opposite the circle to form a handle.

3. Wrap the handle with electrical tape, taking special care to cover the wire's two sharp ends with tape.

4. Wrap the circle with cotton twine to absorb more soap mixture so you can make bigger bubbles.

Tips & Warnings

• Use floral wire to make smaller wands with interesting shapes.
• Remember that you're going to need a larger tub of bubble mix to accommodate the larger wand.

on 11/22/2005 When using large rounds to make bubbles, it's sometimes hard to make them leave the round without bursting. So here's a trick: lift the round from your tray of bubble juice, draw it smoothly to fill with air, then make a gentle chopping motion to complete the bubble sphere and permit the bubble to fly free of the round.
