How To Make Homemade Juggle Bubbles

Juggle Bubbles are a blast for kids to play with and really easy to make! And it is so much more cost effective than purchasing a Juggle Bubble kit!

This is such a fun and easy diy project for the family!

It only two a few minutes to prepare. However, you need to let the mixture sit for 24 hours before using it. 

Lastly, we found by adding a little more glycerin and Dawn Dish Soap (two to three additional tablespoons of each) to the mixture the bubbles don't pop as easy.

Do it Yourself Juggle Bubble ingredients and supplies:
  • 1 cup of Dawn Dish Detergent (I added two more tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup of Glycerin (I added three additional tablespoons)
  • 1 cup of distilled water
  • Pitcher to mix ingredients in
  • Sock or knitted glove to use to bounce bubbles off of
I purchased glycerin at CVS Drug Store in the Health and Beauty Aid section.
