How to Make Bubble Wands With String

Straw Bubble Wand

• 1

  Cut a loop of string about 24 inches long.

• 2

  Insert the string into a plastic drinking straw and tie the ends of the string together.

• 3

  Dip the wand into the bubble solution so that it creates a film that covers the loop of string. Blow gently on this film to make bubbles.

Dowel Bubble Wand

• 4

  Cut a 36- to 48-inch piece of string.

• 5

  Hot glue the end of the string to the end of your dowel. Wrap the string around the end before gluing it to provide extra hold.

• 6

  Loop a washer or key ring onto the string, letting it dangle down.

• 7

  Loop another ring or washer onto the dowel itself. Tie the other end of the string onto that loop.

• 8

  Attach the end cap or bead to the end of the washer so that the loop won't slide off. If you don't have a bead, you can attach a short nail to stop the string from coming off the end.
