on 8/8/2006 You can make a large bubble wand out of an old wire coat-hanger. Just make sure that the actual part that holds the bubble is very round. You can make bubbles up to a foot long! For the really ambitious, you can use a hula hoop for your wand, and use a kiddie pool to hold the solution

on 11/22/2005 Use Ultra strength dishwashing liquid and add 2 teaspoons pure liquid glycerine to make more and longer lasting bubbles. You can find glycerine in the drug store in the skin care section.
