I’ve posted previously about how much the girls enjoyed our Homemade Bubble Solution. Today after Emily helped me weed the flower beds, we made our own Spring bubble wands!
To make your own Spring bubble wands, you will need: 12″ wooden dowels, thin-gauge wire, some electrical tape, and some cookie cutters.
Wrap the thin gauge wire very tightly around the cookie cutter and twist ends together. Wrap the ends around the wooden dowel, and add electrical tape to cover any sharp edges from the wire-ends.
Here’s the cost breakdown for today:Wooden Dowels = $1.99 for pack of 15
Thin-Gauge Wire = $1.35
Electrical Tape = on hand
Total Cost = $3.34

I bet you could use masking tape either instead of, or over those sticky ends and it comes in TONS of colors now. We have all sorts of fun with masking tape:

This is such a great idea (and the homemade bubble solution)!

@ The girl who painted trees — Thank you so much, that is so sweet of you and very much appreciated. Thanks so much for thinking of us!
@ Val in the Rose Garden — I think masking tape would work well too! As long as it keeps the wire from poking through, it should be fine. It’s probably cheaper too.
