• Bubble Tips
• If you don't have a ready-made "bubble wand", you can make a loop with a thin wire - just twist a round end on your wire to blow the bubbles through. You can even make it heart-shaped, square or use other shapes if you're clever enough to bend it well.
• A wire coathanger can make a very large bubble wand. To make a bubble wand, just round the triangular loop out into a circle (not really necessary, but it looks better). Shape the hook of the hanger into a handle. Wrap with tape if desired. Use pipe cleaners to help maintain the bubble film in the loop. Wrap the pipe cleaners around the wire loop. You'll want roughly one wrap of pipe cleaner per inch (2.5 cm) of loop wire. At the end of the pipe cleaner, fold about a quarter of an inch (6 mm) of the cleaner sharply into a hook using needle-nose pliers. Do the same to the next pipe cleaner, hook the hooks together and crimp with the pliers. Keep wrapping until you've wrapped the entire loop with a helix of pipe cleaners. Secure all ends by crimping together as before. The pipe cleaners form a reservoir which supplies plenty of bubble juice to the growing bubble. With a little practice, big, quivery, impressive, ten-inch-or-so (25 cm) bubbles will form.
• If you haven't got a pan that is large enough to dip a large bubble wand loop, just take a suitably large cardboard box, cut it into a shallow tray shape that is large enough for your bubble-wand's loop. Slide this tray into a large plastic bag, such as a garbage bag. Push the plastic down into the tray and completely cover the cardboard. Dump in a supply of bubble mixture and start bubbling.
• Bubbles last longer on humid days. Dry air is death to (water-based) bubbles.
• Letting the bubble solution sit for a day before use can improve the bubbles it makes.
