I was also stuck using dollar store bubbles and could not find the right concoction to make my kiddos happy! I posted the recipe on my craft site TwoHeartsTogether.

They didn't have any glycerin so I'll have to get it elsewhere, but I can't wait to try it out! We had the dollar store bubbles that were so disappointing too. They ended up getting spilled, and I wasn't that upset over it.Loreleihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07423829624321507584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-10015096134282887692008-06-18T02:03:00.000-04:002008-06-18T02:03:00.000-04:00My grandma used to make home made bubbles for us. She would twist old wire coat hangers into different shapes, and we had hours of fun make giant bubbles! So, if you want to save even more money, raid the coat closet for some wire coat hangers. Have fun!annacoumoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227478956767202263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-2284194584919092672008-06-17T10:06:00.000-04:002008-06-17T10:06:00.000-04:00The glycerin at my Target was $5.29/6 oz. It rang up $8.99, but was marked the other - so they did give it to me at the lower price. I'm planning to mix these up today when we finish our gallon of milk! :)thehomespunhearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17235919587298518908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-62087702206933619972008-06-17T00:09:00.000-04:002008-06-17T00:09:00.000-04:00This is great, thanks Amy!Chief Family Officerhttp://chieffamilyofficer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-65527163942105916002008-06-14T15:54:00.000-04:002008-06-14T15:54:00.000-04:00My youngest is 11, but she loves blowing bubbles for our tiny visitors to chase, so I cannot wait to make these!Veggiemomof2http://www.blogger.com/profile/08499664148041543629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-67713462314275238062008-06-13T06:55:00.000-04:002008-06-13T06:55:00.000-04:00I'm excited to know this - we've had trouble with basic inexpensive bubbles too! And, I never knew where to find the glycerin! I'd say your experiment was a huge success!thehomespunhearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17235919587298518908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-45142898357291183752008-06-12T23:06:00.000-04:002008-06-12T23:06:00.000-04:00Glad to see you put those old milk jugs to use! And thanks for the mention!<BR/><BR/>My kids love blowing bubbles and we've found the commercial stuff is usually too thin and doesn't allow for the larger bubble wands. We're excited to give this a try this weekend.Frugal Dadhttp://frugaldad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-65989344540639235882008-06-12T21:59:00.000-04:002008-06-12T21:59:00.000-04:00Good to know! My son got some bubble guns for his birthday and we are going through some SERIOUS amounts of bubbles over here and I was entertaining the idea of making some. I have found soooo many variations of that recipe online, too.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to play chemist-mommy and make some now!<BR/><BR/>:)Nikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12433264163042853577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-9934955966489147362008-06-12T20:13:00.000-04:002008-06-12T20:13:00.000-04:00Thank you, Candace! I appreciate you sharing your recipe with the internets :) <BR/><BR/>I am so glad you guys are enjoying this new blog feature. It is so much fun to share the things that we are doing out of the notebook entries AND it gets me in gear to do some fun projects with my family!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10635304837180578317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-78097772433844691722008-06-12T19:32:00.000-04:002008-06-12T19:32:00.000-04:00Aren't these bubbles awesome!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe. The big wands are so great too because it makes it so much easier for the little ones. I actually enjoy bubble time now....probably because I don't have to do all the blowing!<BR/><BR/>Storing them in a milk jug is really great idea.

Not only are Dollar Store bubbles awful, their container is leaky and crappy as well.<BR/><BR/>I am SO trying this recipe.MamaGeekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09563543041234527282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068320.post-65907055986489149892008-06-12T18:51:00.000-04:002008-06-12T18:51:00.000-04:00Thanks, Amy! <BR/><BR/>I was just thinking I needed to find a recipe for these. We love the 'Gazillion Bubbles' brand at our house, but at $7+ a bottle, they're quite pricey.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking this will be a good sub.Azulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04333038975612083092noreply@blogger.com
