Storage

We just poured the homemade bubble solution recipe into one of our old bubbles containers from the store. Just reuse what you already have.

Another idea would be to store this simple recipe in a mason jar or other airtight container or large jar. Make sure it has a tight fitting lid so it does not spill.

Variations

  • Corn syrup. You can substitute corn syrup for oil in the bubble mixture. For this variation, use 6 cups water, 1 cup dawn dish soap and ¼ cup of corn syrup.
  • Food Coloring. Try adding a few drops of food coloring to the mixture. Just keep in mind that the results will vary based on the color of dishwashing liquid used as well.
