Big and small, strong and melting before our eyes, iridescent, pearlescent, magic bubbles. They are able to return us to childhood, transfer us to a wonderful fairy tale, free us from worries and open our hearts to new dreams. Trembling worlds, ready to disappear before the eyes of the creator - they are born from soap and water and give a sea of emotions.
It is necessary
- - a device for blowing a bubble (stick, tube, gun);
- - liquid for bubbles from the store;
- - laundry soap;
- - glycerin;
- - water.
Instructions
Step 1
How to properly inflate soap bubbles in order to admire their beauty for a longer time? The first thing to do is choose your outfit. Bottles of bubble blower can be purchased at the store along with a special stick. There are even sticks for inflating giant bubbles (they look like nets without a net) and soap pistols. But it's much more interesting to cook everything yourself.
Step 2
If you decide to make the solution yourself, you will need warm boiled settled water (ordinary water from the tap may be too heavy and cause excessive fragility of the bubbles), laundry soap and glycerin. Mix 2 parts soap shavings, 10 parts water and 4 parts glycerin (proportions may vary depending on climatic conditions, so experiment). Glycerin can occupy from 1/3 to 1/5 of the total volume of the liquid, it makes the walls of the soap bubble more durable, keeping moisture longer.
Step 3
You can use a regular cocktail straw instead of commercially available bubble sticks. Or, as in childhood, roll a tube out of paper. There are a lot of options, up to using a funnel. To get huge bubbles, you need to make a wire net. The larger the diameter of the ring, the larger the bubble will be. And you can inflate small bubbles with one or two hands. On one hand, bring the tips of your thumb and forefinger together, rounding them as you would for the "OK" gesture. Fold two palms into a house and dip in soapy water.
Step 4
You can blow bubbles with your own lungs (through a straw, straw, net or hand) or using the force of the wind (net and hands). In the second case, either move the “net” or hand through the air with force, or if the wind is strong, just keep the “net” or hand straight and wait for the bubble to inflate.
Step 5
The mesmerizing process of blowing bubbles is interesting in itself. But it's even more fun to blow bubbles with a company. In many cities of Russia and the world it has become a tradition to hold the so-called festivals or parades of soap bubbles. In Moscow, such a festival takes place on the Arbat. Knowledgeable people say that in addition to the liquid and the blowing device, your dreams and good mood are included in the recipe for a soap bubble. So strong bubbles and more smiles!
