The simple childhood joy of blowing bubbles gets a huge upgrade with this hack

My kids love it when I blow bubbles for them in the backyard.

But this hack will make you say “go big or go home” when it comes to bubbles.

It took a few tries to get the ingredients right, but the results were definitely worth the effort.

You will need:

• 1 gallon hot water
• 1 cup dish soap
• ¼ cup glycerin (although I ended up needing more)
• Shallow pan
• 2 drinking straws
• String

As you can see, Tyson and I were both enchanted by this craft. We kept saying “one more” or “this is the last one,” but we just couldn’t stop!
