Good day! I don’t know how anyone, but my childhood was bright. And so it was made by the love of parents, good friends, a sea of funny games, merry holidays and balloons with soap bubbles. I remember well that one day my mother showed me how to do it, and since then our yard has become like the drum of a washing machine, it literally drowned in bubbles and foam!
Many years have passed since that time, but I know for sure that as soon as my son grows up, I will definitely tell him about this recipe. In the meantime, I will share it with you. And not only to them, I also have a new tool in my arsenal, with glycerin ... Probably I'll start with him.
But! First, I'll tell you about the most important secret for any solution !!!
The prepared solution should “brew! He needs from 2 to 24 hours to get the desired stunning effect!
Here's what we got:
Intrigued? Trust me, it's worth it! Better not believe it, but check it out.
So what we need:
In order for everything to work out perfectly, we will take into account one point. The water must be purified. If it is not possible to filter it well, then it will be enough to boil. But we need water at room temperature, not hot.
Have you guessed? The secret is glycerin. We need it to make the soap balls especially durable, non-bursting
... But it also provides long-term storage of the product itself. It can be done in advance. It will not lose its properties even after a few days.
Stir all the ingredients, but not to foam, just combine them. Everything! You and your baby are ready to greet a warm day with balls shimmering in the sun!
This recipe also produces giant bubbles. You can choose the size yourself, mix the mixture right away in a bucket or basin where your bubble construction will fit.
One condition is that the weather must be calm, otherwise the wind will immediately burst all the bubbles.
A rope, which is shorter than we tie the ends to the ends of the sticks, with a long piece of rope we do the same, after putting a nut on it, like a bead. It turns out a triangle.
We lower the sticks with a rope into the bucket, carefully and slowly take them out when folded, and slowly spread the sticks. More details in the video, it is in English, but everything is clear there anyway:
Now the promised secret from childhood without glycerin ... It is made in a couple of minutes, and gives impressions for the whole day.
What is needed for him:
We prepare soap bubbles at home recipe :
The very strength that glycerin provided in the first case is now helping us to get sugar.
And one more surprise for my friends! A new way of making a solution. In addition to water, sugar and detergent, you will need:
Everything is taken in equal proportions.
But besides the solution itself, I will share some tricks that help to make many balls at a time, inflate big bubbles or how to get around if there was no special inflation ring at hand.
How to replace the ring... You can twist a loop of a suitable size from the wire. Alternatively, disassemble the old handle and blow bubbles out of the plastic rod.
Many at the same time... Use elastic to tie the cocktail tubes together (with the cut corrugated part). To keep the structure strong, tie them on both sides.
Especially large... To prevent the balloons from bursting prematurely, and they could be inflated very large, double strength is needed. To do this, add both sugar and glycerin to the solution. Now let's build a tool with which we can get these bubbles.
We will need:
Step-by-step manufacturing:
How do you like this idea? Why bother and puff, throwing a whole bubble party is a good idea.
Here's the motorized design:
So that is all! The secret of my glorious childhood is revealed! I hope it will serve you well, and with its help you will bring happiness to your children. If you know how else you can make a solution, write. Also, please tell us about the results if you followed my advice. For some reason, I thought now that in this way your kids will make a real sensation in the yard. And their parents will ask what is the secret of eternal bubbles. Tell them about the site, let them go and find out about everything in the world that makes us better and happier! And do not forget to subscribe yourself so as not to miss new articles.
That's all, see you soon!
Bubbles are joy, fun and laughter for any child. And among adults, there is rarely a person who is indifferent to this entertainment. Soap bubbles can brighten up any holiday, make it unusual and interesting.
We are used to the fact that soap bubbles are large and small balls that burst on contact with a solid. To date, soap bubbles are a whole art, striking in their sophistication and fragility. Soap bubbles can be square, oblong or even curly. You can hold the soap bubble on your hand and even get inside the bubble itself. Don't believe me? Now you will find out about everything!
The main success in creating beautiful and large soap bubbles is the soap solution. It should be prepared from pure water. The presence of various impurities in the water in the form of chlorine impairs the viscosity of the solution. It is best to use distilled or boiled water. Hard water is also not suitable for mortar. Use melt water to reduce the hardness.
As soap compositions, it is better to use dishwashing detergents, soaps and shampoos without unnecessary additives. Various colorants, flavors and thickeners degrade the quality of the solution. If the bubbles burst quickly, and the solution is not so dense, you can first add a little glycerin to the water. You can use sweet water instead of glycerin. Pour some sugar into the liquid and only then add the rest of the ingredients to get a high-quality and dense solution for soap bubbles.
After preparation, the solution should stand for a while. It is best if the solution is prepared several hours before the soap show. The same goes for blowing frames. Especially if they contain fabric parts, for example, rope. The rope must be dipped in a soapy solution three to four hours in advance so that it is sufficiently saturated.
Avoid foaming when blowing out bubbles. In general, any debris and coarse dust is unacceptable. Before blowing bubbles, make sure there are no small bubbles on the soapy surface. Pay close attention to the location of the show. If you are doing this outdoors, the area should be protected from the wind. Dust and wind will not blow out nice and large soap bubbles.
So how do you prepare a bubble solution? Here are some recipes for the strongest and largest soap bubbles.
The newfangled hobby for soap bubbles is blowing shapes on a smooth table surface. With the help of various frames, you can build a soapy figurine of an animal or a fairy-tale character. To prepare a super powerful and strong solution, we need sugar, soap, distilled water and glycerin. For a liter of water, add half a liter of glycerin, a glass of soap shavings and 100 grams of sugar. Please note that the soap must be free of dyes and fragrances. Stir the composition thoroughly and let it brew for 10-15 hours. After the specified time, it will become as elastic as possible and at the same time strong.
It is best to prepare the composition in a small children's pool, no more than a meter in diameter. Pour 5 liters of water, a liter of dish detergent, 200 ml of glycerin and a glass of sugar into a container. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and leave overnight.
A regular hoop can serve as a frame for huge bubbles. Dip the hoop into the pool. After that, place a small chair in the center of the pool so as not to step directly into the water. The man stands on the chair, and two assistants at the edges lift the hoop. Assistants should first wet their hands in a soapy composition so as not to inadvertently burst the bubble if touched. When the hoop is over his head, the person on the chair will be in a kind of "soap pipe". The spectacle is incredibly exciting and exciting. And if you attach a handle to the hoop, you can blow huge bubbles in the form of a caterpillar. Such a performance will brighten up any children's holiday.
Bubbles can be blown out of tubes, funnels and even writing pens without a rod. Frames can be made of wire, not only round, but also square, triangular. You can even blow bubbles through your fingers. The main thing in blowing soap bubbles is an idea, imagination and a cheerful mood!
The nature of thin-walled balls is still an interesting topic for scientists. By the example of their unique properties, various physical laws can be confirmed.
Soap film is considered one of the thinnest objects in the world. Its thickness is 5,000 times less than hair and tissue paper.
Under the influence of environmental factors: gravity, air pressure, the "life" of a water bubble is short - a few seconds. Because of this, the people even compare a frivolous person or an uncertain life situation with a soap bubble.
But if you put a spherical film in a vacuum, then it can hold out there for more than a month. The American scientist managed to set a record: he kept a water ball in a glass jar for about a year! But for this, it was necessary to create all the physical conditions in the container to maintain the integrity and balance of the thin film.
The air bubble has a spherical shape, since according to the laws of physics, it takes on the minimum area for a given volume. This was proven back in 1884.
In 2000, scientists confirmed this theory with the double bubble theorem. It consists in the fact that two bubbles, which are combined with each other, take on the minimum area for a given volume.
In the process of blowing, the shape of the ball is distorted by air currents. But after a while, the soap bubble will take on an ideal spherical shape.
The water ball is held for a long time due to the force of the surface tension of the water. Due to this, the surface of the bubbles is an elastic film. The surface tension forces do not depend on the size of the bubble if it is of the correct shape. But if for some reason the surface of the ball is deformed, then it loses its elasticity and quickly bursts.
The geometry of the bubbles still worries scientists. During the study, it turned out that the thickness of the soap film at the bottom is thicker than at the top. This is because the water layer moves downward under the action of gravity. This gives reason to assert that the shape of the bubbles is not quite perfectly spherical.
The water ball is colorless for the first seconds of its "life", as it has a perfectly spherical shape. But then the water layer flows downward under the action of gravity, and the bubble becomes irregular in shape with different wall thicknesses.
According to the laws of physics, there is an interference of light waves reflected from the inner and outer surfaces of the film. Therefore, the thin sphere takes on a rainbow color.
As the top of the film becomes thinner, the light waves begin to overlap, resulting in a black bubble. The water ball bursts at the point of greatest thinning.
As they studied this topic, scientists established the physical conditions under which bubbles retain their shape for a long time. This happens in severe frost.
When the air temperature drops to 0 ° C, the surface tension forces increase, that is, the bubbles easily burst. However, if the level of the thermometer creeps down to -7 ° C and below, the surface tension becomes minimal. Despite the fact that the volume of air inside the ball will decrease, this will not significantly affect the size of the film.
If you put a soap ball in the winter, then the water layer in it will freeze at a temperature of -7 ° C. The thin film turns into a crust of ice. If it falls to the floor, it will not shatter into a million crystals, like a glass Christmas tree toy. Dents will only appear on it, and individual debris will curl up into a tube.
Thus, the soap film, frozen in frost, will not be brittle, but plastic due to its small thickness and lack of tension forces.
Bursting soap bubbles can be obtained at temperatures of -20 ºС, -25 ºС.
Blowing out a soapy solution under such conditions, the liquid scatters in different directions in the form of small crystals. They grow rapidly and at the same time combine into a single object. Millions of crystals that form a ball are added to one picture of amazing beauty, which can only be compared with frosty drawings on glass.
Launching water balloons is not only a favorite pastime for children. In fact, the properties of soap bubbles are widely used in industry.
The balloon, which is used in aeronautics and meteorology for weather forecasting, is the prototype of a soap bubble. As you know, the air inside the soap ball is always warmer than outside, so that the bubbles rise upward. A balloon is based on the same principle, only the air inside it is artificially heated.
Astronomers use soap balls as an example to study the process of turbulence in the gas envelopes of planets. This is because the ratio of the thickness of the film to the diameter of the bubble is proportional to the ratio of the thickness of the gas atmosphere to the diameter of the planets.
Bubbles have also found their way into the refining industry. Micelles, analogs of soap bubbles, are used to process oil into various materials. Water and special reagents are added to the refined oil. As a result of the reaction, bubbles are formed in the oil, filled with water. Chemical reactions also occur inside micelles that facilitate the processing of oil into organic substances: esters, acids, monomers.
Even the bubble bursting process is good for science. Studying this phenomenon, scientists began to understand the process of cavitation - the formation of bubbles in a liquid. If this happens in water, then the pressure changes dramatically. Even massive iron elements, such as a ship's propeller or a pipeline, can collapse due to the impact force of the pressure drop.
Earlier, children used to blow out soap balls using elementary devices: a plastic stick with a hole inside, which was dipped into a container of soapy water.
Now, thanks to new inventions, there are various soap bubble shows. Such a sight conquers even adults.
Nowadays, special devices have been invented for producing bubbles, which "live" much longer than their predecessors. These devices are called generators. The essence of their work is simple: a soap composition is poured into the bunker, which is automatically blown out with air. Stencils of various shapes are inserted into the holes at the output of the generator, due to which airy figures of various bizarre shapes and colors are obtained.
Generators are suspended and floor-standing, which are controlled by a remote control. It is advisable to purchase such devices for large children's parties.
The main types of generators:
You can easily make soap bubbles at home by learning how to properly prepare the solution. Launching water balloons is always a holiday for children and adults!
The main task when making bubbles is to ensure their durability. This can be done with the correct bubble solution at home.
There are several basic recipes for making a frothing liquid, as well as methods for blowing soap balls.
Usually soap bubbles are made at home with glycerin. This solution allows you to obtain water balls, characterized by elasticity and long life.
Gelatin should be filled with water so that it swells enough. Then drain the excess liquid. Dissolve sugar and gelatin in a water bath. These ingredients will give strength to the water bubbles.
Then add purified water and the rest of the ingredients to the resulting mixture. Stir everything until a homogeneous mass is obtained, without foaming! If foam forms, the likelihood of bubbles is minimized.
Homemade solution is absolutely harmless to the child, it will not cause allergies on delicate skin.
Do you want something interesting?
Mix all the ingredients and leave to brew for 2-3 days. After that, filter the mixture and put in a cool place for 12 hours.
Prepare such a solution a little longer than in the previous case, but the bubbles will turn out to be strong and large.
A good water ball should last at least 30 seconds. The quality of the prepared liquid can be checked as follows: dip your finger in the soapy liquid, and then touch the soap bubble with it. If the balloon does not burst from this, the solution is prepared correctly.
The classic tool for blowing a bubble is a straw - a cocktail tube. This instrument was used 300 years ago, as evidenced by the painting of the French painter Jean-Baptiste Chardin "Soap Bubbles".
Use other soap bubble solutions to prime the generator. After all, these elements should be distinguished by increased strength and large dimensions.
Giant Bubble Solution:
Mix all ingredients without water until smooth. Next, heat the water and add to the mixture. Mix everything, avoiding the formation of foam.
To make large soap bubbles without using a generator, you need the following materials:
Big bubble technology:
There is another simple method for making large bubbles. To do this, you need to take two knitting needles and tie a woolen thread between them. Then dip the structure in a soapy solution so that the thread is well saturated, and then remove it all. By spreading and sliding the knitting needles, you can get a real soapy creation.
Large balls can be obtained by blowing them through a plastic funnel for pouring liquids.
Soap balls can not only be thrown into the air - they can be used to paint.
For drawing you will need:
Soap Ball Drawing Technology:
From the received drawings, you can make a festive postcard or applique.
Getting bubbles at home is fun. For children it is a festive mood, and for adults it is a reason to return to a carefree childhood!
Do you want to please your child with big soap bubbles? The ones that sell small ones and are in short supply for a long time? We have written detailed instructions on how to make soap bubbles at home, having at hand the means that we always use in everyday life.
To make soap bubbles at home, we need:

You can do with a combination of water and soap without additional additives (for example, if there is simply no glycerin). The soap grated on a grater must be poured into boiled water, moreover, hot, and stir to full dissolving soap. If the dissolution is difficult, you can slightly warm the mixture with continuous stirring. Do not bring to a boil!
And if you do not want to grate laundry soap, then use the following composition:
You will need:
Using this solution, you can, for example, build a variety of shapes from soap bubbles, blowing them onto a smooth table surface.
You will need:
A solution for giant soap bubbles can be prepared in a basin, and they are “blown out” using a gymnastic hoop or a frame specially twisted from a flexible material. Honestly, you won't have to blow - you will rather have to swing the frame or slowly pull out a large durable bubble from the basin.
Giant soap bubbles on the beach (video):
As sticks for soap bubbles, you can use tubes of different diameters, frames, cocktail sticks (especially with the tip cut crosswise or in the form of a fringe and bent "petals"), hollow blades of grass or pasta, molds for cutting dough, funnels, you can buy in the store special pistols for soap bubbles or just blow them through your fingers! 🙂
And if you are invited to a real Soap Bubble Festival or arrange one at home, you can make original stick-frames with your own hands from wire and colored beads, for example, the following:
