This easy bubble recipe only uses three ingredients. Once you've used this bubble mix recipe you'll never us another! We make our homemade bubbles with corn syrup and not glycerin (mainly because we like to try to make things with stuff we already have if we can!).We put secret tips to the best bubbles in the post. If you didn't see them, scroll up and read them before you a bubbles recipe!

Equipment
Large mixing bowl
Spoon
Measuring cups
Homemade bubble wand (see post for ideas)
Ingredients
3Cupswater
1/2Cuplight corn syruplike Karo Syrup
1CupJoy Dish Soap*
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add water and corn syrup. Stir until combined.
Slowly add Joy dishwashing soap into the water and corn syrup mixture. Gently stir the mixture until combined. DO NOT STIR VIGOROUSLY OR IN A WAY THAT FORMS FOAM OR SOAP BUBBLES ON TOP. If foam or bubbles form on top of the solution, carefully spoon them off the solution and discard. (The foam or extra bubbles on top will prevent your bubble wand from grabbing the good solution and making good bubbles!)
Dip your bubble wand into the solution (do not stir your bubble wand in the solution) and blow the best bubbles ever! If you find that your bubbles are popping easily, stir in a little more corn syrup to your mixture.
When you're finished, store your home made bubble solution in a jar with a lid or an airtight container with a lid. It will last for at least a few weeks or more when stored in a cool, dry place! (If it smells weird when you open it, discard it.) Do not freeze your bubble solution. It will separate when you defrost it and won't make bubbles.
Notes
*You can use any dish soap that you like, but after testing several homemade bubbles solutions over the years, we have found that Joy Dish Soap makes the best bubbles for some reason!
