DIY Bubble Machine Bubble Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 Litre of Water: Distilled water works best, but tap water is fine.
• 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Glycerin: Glycerin helps bubbles last longer and enhances elasticity.
• 300ml of Fairy Liquid or Dawn Original:
  • Use Fairy Antibacterial (Blue) or Fairy Original (Green) for optimal performance.
  • For a gentler, sensory-friendly option ideal for kids, substitute with Johnson’s Baby Bath.

Steps to Make Bubble Fluid for a Bubble Machine

1. Mix the Water and Glycerin: In a large container, combine 1 liter of water with 2 tablespoons of glycerin. Stir gently to avoid creating foam.
2. Add the Soap or Baby Bath: Gradually mix in 300ml of Fairy Liquid, Dawn Original, or Johnson’s Baby Bath. Stir slowly until fully combined.
3. Let It Rest: For the best bubbles, allow the solution to sit for at least 1 hour. Overnight is even better as it gives the ingredients time to bond.
4. Load Your Bubble Machine: Pour the prepared solution into your bubble machine’s reservoir, and let the bubble fun begin!
