Soap bubbles with glycerin: recipes and basic rules

Bubbles are always a joy, especially for young children. But purchased jars run out quickly, sometimes accidentally spilled, and they are not cheap. Learn to make soap bubbles yourself! At home, you can prepare a whole jar so that the holiday is always nearby. To make strong bubbles, you need very little: glycerin, a few secret ingredients and a good mood.

Glycerin and other secret ingredients

Almost all recipes for making soap bubbles contain a “fixing” component - glycerin. With it, the walls of the bubble become strong, it does not burst for a long time, with good composition and proper preparation, it even bounces off the fingers.

In addition to glycerin, gelatin and sugar syrup have anchoring properties. Professionals organizing soap shows recommend using polyvinyl alcohol or washing powder with ammonia in the preparation.

Almost in all the recipes, the “Fairy” detergent is taken as a soap base, stipulating that anything is possible, but “Fairy” is still better - it has been tested by practice.

Here are some useful tips for making bubbles happy:

1. Soap bubbles are made in soft water, therefore, unboiled tap water is not recommended for use. It is advisable to prepare the mixture in distilled or boiled, you can use melt water.
2. If you are making bubbles for a child, use only safe ingredients. For example, take baby shampoo as a soap base.
3. The water should be warm or hot, but not boiling.
4. Stir the ingredients at a moderate intensity during cooking to create as little foam as possible. This rule is the key to success.
5. It is recommended to insist the finished mixture from 12 hours to a day for the appearance of a whole soapy film on the surface.
