1 liter of warm water with ½ cup dish soap, 2-3 tablespoons sugar

cup of dish soap (Dawn/Fairy work best) and 2–3 tablespoons of sugar to help the bubbles hold their shape. For enhanced, durable bubbles, you can optionally add 2 tablespoons of glycerin or corn syrup

Create durable giant bubbles using a mixture of 1 gallon of water, 1 teaspoon of guar gum (pre-mixed with a little soap), ¾ cup of Dawn dish detergent (ultra), and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Let the solution rest for at least an hour to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate, which creates stronger bubbles.

Tips for Giant Bubbles-

Resting: Let the mixture sit for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for best results.

Mixing: Stir gently to avoid creating foam; bubbles in the mixture reduce the size of the giant bubbles.

Wands: Use a DIY wand made with string and sticks, as detailed on Reddit and Mitre 10 NZ.

Best Condition: A humid day or just after rain is best; dry, windy days make bubbles pop faster.
