Playing with Bubble Shapes!
Bubbles are always round – right?! Wrong, they can be cube shaped, hexagonal shaped, flower shaped and more. It’s all science and bubbles and to do with the surface tension on the bubble walls, bubbles can be manipulated to form other shapes. On this page you will see lots of videos on how to use our bubble shape kits.
Soap Bubble Shape Recipe
You only need a very dilute bubble solution to create the soap film and surface tension needed for these bubble shapes.
- Big bucket of water – (bucket big enough to fully fit your shape into, the sets we sell you can easily cut down to any size)
- Fill with water
- And a big squeeze of fairy liquid (Blue Antibacterial or Green Original)
- Mix together (the demo of this mixture recipe is in the demo video below)
