Successsssssssss!!
Joy is simply producing a whopping, great bubble…and wanting to do it again, and again, and again…
Yesterday, we finally go our giant bubble mixture to really work…YAAAAAAYYYYYY!
The recipe was:
One and a half teaspoons of guar gum (bought from Amazon).
Mixed with enough glycerin (from local chemist) to turn it into a paste.
To which 4 litres of hottest tap water is slowly added.
And a tablespoon of baking powder.
Then finally 6 oz of the best fairy liquid you can buy (we used platinum).
(The trick is lots of vigorous stirring..and then let it sit for 20 minutes).
(The bubbles wands are simply made from wooden spoons and cotton string, tied in a triangular shape with a weight (keys/keyrings work well) at the bottom).
We learnt that if you blew into the bubble..
You could get bubbles inside the bubble!
Hours and hours of pure, unadulterated FUN!

I love that fun!!!
Sometimes it’s the simple things hey..
Yippee! Awesome! What fun! I hope you gave it a go, too. XO
(How come I could see your husband getting into this, too?)
Oh how right you are! It’s one of the best stress relievers I know xxx
Never say die! You did it–and it is amazing! What great photos!
The funny thing is I bottled up the mixture to take with us glamping..one worked brilliantly..the other wasn’t nearly as good. Still haven’t worked out what the difference is! xxx
The look of joy on Charlie’s face is just infectious! Now I want to make giant bubbles… although I don’t actually have a garden. Wonder if I could get away with it on the roof terrace at work…
You need to make a batch for hubbie and head to the Common.. xxx
I’m so far behind in my reading that I can’t leave comments on many of your posts (just read about the Braid Bar – awesome, Selfridges used to be my second home, oh how I miss it!!). LOVING the giant bubbles, going to get the ingredients together to give it a go this summer. Bethxx
You and your boys will LOVE it! x
Bubbles are such great fun, glad you made it work in the end.
There are so many recipes on the web, it’s hard to decide which one would be best..trial and error xxx
How awesome! Those bubbles are HUGE!
Looks like big time fun!! Wish I could have done this when I was a kid.
