so i've been wanting to make some fun bubble wands for baby to make bubble blowing extra fun! bigger bubbles are always better in my book. and since it is Earth Week this week, i wanted to show my kiddies that you can
things, instead of throwing them away.
so, i had a bunch of wire hangers just sitting around....about to be thrown away. i thought, why not make bubble wands from them instead of filling up a landfill. so, i did. and here is how you can make your own handmade bubble wand:
what you need:
• needle nose pliers
• wire hanger
• beads with holes big enough to string onto the wire (optional)
• spray paint (optional)
• glue gun (optional)
step 1
using needle nose pliers, untwist and straighten out a wire hanger. (the whole bending process of the hanger was a bit harder than i thought, but the job got done.)
wrapping a pipe cleaner around the entire shape on the top of your bubble wand can allow the bubble wand to hold more bubble solution. which = more bubbles.
I love this idea...I'm going to try it. I'm not crafty but my kid LOVES bubbles so I think it's worth a try.
They work really well if you wrap pipe cleaners around the tops. It helps them grab more bubble solution.
