How to Make Your Own Mega Bubble Solution!

Sharing is caring!

I have always wanted to learn how to make my own Mega Bubble Solution.

Now, I am not talking about simple bubble solution. I am talking about MEGA Bubble solution. The kind that is durable enough to make massive bubbles.  I knew it was possible. I had seen pictures on Pinterest and even been to an event or two where mega bubbles were made. But most of the recipes were vastly different  and the premade solution was expensive (especially if I wanted to use them regularly.)

I had planned on experimenting with some different recipes this summer to find one that would do what I wanted. As happens too often my sister beat me to the point. One day I got a call from my sister saying how she found the perfect recipe for mega monster bubbles and even learned how to make her own mega bubble wands. She was calling to invite us to come play with bubbles in her front yard. Thankfully she lives less than 2 miles away so less than 10 minutes after she ended the call we were at her home ready for fun with bubbles!.

She was right this bubble solution recipe worked amazingly. I  immediately asked for the recipe (which she was all too happy to give me.)

This recipe makes 1 gallon of Mega Bubble Solution which works great with plastic wands and homemade mega bubble wands. I have made these bubbles several times since that first time with my sister and EVERY time the bubbles turn out perfect. One of these days I want to make a triple batch, pour in in my little plastic swim pool, have my kids stand in the middle (in their swim suits) and make bubbles around my kids using a hula hoop. I am sure the kids will love it!

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp  Guar gum
• 2 Tbl  Rubbing Alcohol
• 15 1/2  Cups Hot Water
• 2 tsp  Baking Powder
• 9 1/2 Tbl (1/2 Cup + 1 1/2 Tbl) Dawn (Pro or Ultra) Liquid Detergent

Directions:

• Mix the Guar Gum (which you can find in most health food stores)  with the rubbing alcohol to make a slurry. (This helps to distribute the guar gum without it clumping up or prematurely hydrating)
• Mix the Guar gum/Alcohol slurry with 5 Cups of Hot Water.
• Stir water/Slurry mix for a few minutes then let it rest to build up viscosity (which happens as the guar gum hydrates.)
• Add the remaining 10 1/2 cups of hot water and stir well.
• Thoroughly mix in Baking Powder & Detergent.

To use I like to pour the finished solution into multiple buckets so more than one kids can use it at a time.   If the bubble solution has been sitting for a while make sure to stir it before using for best results.

Our kids decided they wanted to seel this awesome bubble solution along with homemade bubble wands at a few local kids entrepreneur markets this summer so my husband designed these nifty labels that we printed out on sticker paper.  1 batch will also fill 4 (38 Fl oz) containers. **I got mine at  Dollar Tree.

We have used this bubble solution when it was a year old (stored in these containers) at it still worked great after it was shaken/stirred first. I like to always have some on hand for the kids to enjoy. Especially once the weather warms up.
