How To Store Your Bubble Blowing Liquid?

If you have extra bubble mixture, then you can keep it in a jar or bowl with a lid. Homemade bubble solution can be used again since it has mostly stable ingredients. I mean, tap water, dishwashing liquid, and sugar will stay well for a well. I would probably leave your bubble wands, store bought or homemade bubble wands, out of the mixture as they will probably get a little sticky.

Why Sugar Bubbles Are Better

Text: Homemade Bubbles Using Sugar- Sugar Bubble Mixture- Bubble bowl with green, yellow, and orange bubble wands- kids activities blog
Sugar slows down water evaporation in the bubbles keeping them from drying out so quickly.

We all know that sugar makes everything more tasty but it’s also great for so many other reasons. In this craft, the sugar slows down the water evaporation, which in turn keeps the bubbles from drying out so they stay intact for a longer period of time.

Of course, this doesn’t apply if the bubble hits the ground so make it into a game and see who can keep their bubbles afloat the longest!

While summer is close to coming to an end, the fun doesn’t have to stop with bubbles! Fall brings a load of more fun crafts you can make indoors and out. 

What Is The Difference Between Sugar Bubbles and Glycerin Bubble Mixtures?

Sugar helps bubbles evaporate slowly, meaning they last longer. And you’ve probably heard of glycerin bubbles… so what is the different between sugar and glycerin.

The difference between the diy bubble mixture is that glycerin bubble mixture requires more sugar. And you can actually hold the bubbles in your gloved hands. It’s neat. But this sugar bubble mixture is amazing as well to keep bubbles going longer.
