The history of bubble creation is connected with the invention of soap. Already in ancient times, children knew how to inflate balloons from soapy water. This is confirmed by wall paintings found in archaeological excavations and thematic works of art. And the painting “Soap Bubbles,” painted by the artist John Millais, was so successfully used to advertise soap by one British company that already in the 19th century, English soap makers began producing a special liquid for blowing bubbles. Since then, the popularity of the “soap” opening has only grown.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the foaming liquid has been sold everywhere and at a very affordable price. Today, a bottle of soap bubbles is one of the most popular and best-selling children's toys. Many parents want to please their children with bright, unusual balloons. Why not? This dream is completely achievable, because making a solution for soap bubbles yourself is not at all difficult.
Main components and what to blow
There are only four traditional components of the solution: soap, water, sugar and glycerin. The main thing is to properly prepare the liquid for soap bubbles, observing the technology and proportions. Then the blown balls will be light, large and long-lasting.
Five tips on how to easily make soap bubbles.
- Water. It affects the quality of the foam. Use cooled boiled water, but the best option is distilled, melt or rain water.
- Soap base. Choose soap or any detergent with a neutral aroma and a predominance of natural ingredients.
- Additional ingredients. To make the balls stable, add glycerin or sugar to the solution.
- Density of the solution. Adjust the saturation of the composition: a dense solution is difficult to blow out, and a weak solution, on the contrary, it will be easily blown out even by the smallest ones, but the quality of the bubbles will also be weak.
- Cooling the soap solution. It is recommended to keep the solution in the refrigerator until the foam completely settles.
Here are the options for blowing:
- straw or hollow grass;
- cocktail straw;
- long pasta of any thickness;
- confectionery shaped molds for baking cookies;
- student pen body;
- thick paper rolled into a roll;
- an ordinary plastic bottle with the bottom cut off;
- carpet beater;
- wire twisted into a circle or oval;
- a purchased children's bubble gun.

Secrets of creating colored...
And let's go back to history again. American inventor Tim Kehoe devoted more than a dozen years of his life and several million dollars to realizing his cherished dream - creating colored bubbles. The highlight of his “soap-colored” discovery, which occurred already in the 2000s, is that after a certain time, blue, red or yellow bubbles burst and leave no stains at all.
At home, you can get spectacular multi-colored bubbles by diluting ordinary food coloring in any recipe solution. And to arrange a real color carnival, pour the soap base into several containers and add your own color to each.
...flavored...
The “fragrant” recipe for a solution for inflating soap balloons is very simple. It involves combining one part water with three parts bubble bath. In this case, the bubbles will not only play beautiful tints in the sun, but also smell appetizingly like strawberries, vanilla, chocolate, lemon or pine.
... and frozen balls
Pay attention to the consistency of the composition for hardening balls: it should be at least a couple of times thicker than usual and resemble viscous, transparent glue or strong sugar syrup. These bubbles solidify on contact with the surface and are prepared in four steps.
Let's make a thick sugar syrup. To do this, pour two heaped tablespoons of sugar with one spoon of warm water.
- Rub a quarter of a hundred gram bar of soap.
- Mix two tablespoons of glycerin with soap shavings.
- Combine everything and pour in five or six tablespoons of distilled water (boiled water will do).
Quality control
Taking any of the recipes as a basis, you can safely experiment. The main thing is not to overdo it with certain components. You can check the condition of the finished liquid as follows:
- blow a bubble;
- Remove some foam from the top of the prepared solution with your finger;
- Touch the bubble with your foamy finger.
If the ball bursts, you need to add additional soap, drop glycerin or sugar syrup. The bubble remained intact - the composition turned out to be correct.
Bubbles from the Guinness Book
The art of creating and blowing soap bubbles is very popular and widespread. True professionals in this field not only keep unique secret formulas secret: they have been honing their movement techniques for years, and have a keen sense of the “correct” natural conditions (humidity and wind).
The most phenomenal cases are included in the Guinness Book of Records. For example, the largest soap balloon was inflated in 1996 by Alan Mackay. Its diameter was 32 m. And another record holder, Sam Hist, managed to fit as many as 50 people in a giant soap bubble, measuring 1.5 by 3 m. This extraordinary event happened already in our century - in 2007.
If you think that soap bubbles are exclusively summer fun, then you are mistaken. In winter, transparent balls take on a fabulous look. You already know how to make soap bubbles with your own hands without glycerin. Use this recipe and watch how the frosty air decorates the balls with fancy, lace patterns. The same as on home windows on the coldest winter days. This is guaranteed to please both children and adults, because we wouldn’t mind returning to the bright world of childhood once again.
