Making bubble mix in your backyard is easy! See how in the video below.

BACKYARD BUBBLES

 Ingredients

• ½ cup cornstarch 
• 6 cups water
• ½ cup dishwashing liquid
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 Tbsp. glycerin (or ¼ cup corn syrup)

Instructions
Mix cornstarch in water until dissolved. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, but try not to create a lot of froth. Let the mixture sit for one hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the cornstarch from settling.  All you need is a bubble wand and you’re ready to go.

• 2 drinking straws
• Yarn or string (the length depends on how big you want the bubbles)

Instructions
Thread the yarn through the straws. Tie the ends together and slide the knot inside a straw. Hold up the two straws spreading the string evenly between the them.
