Wax Mallow to Bubbles

In my country, some children use 'wax mallow' and powdered laundry soap to make bubbles. It is easy because you are only going to mix them. Now, there are so many commercialized bubble products in the market. However, modern kids cannot experience the fun of doing it. Have you ever tried to make your own bubbles?

@TheHorse We use the flower of the hibiscus plant, We use mortar and pestle to mix the petals and we add soap.

Did this back in the day. Lots of fun. Way better than the commercial bubble mixes that they sell in the market.

I agree. At least, we knew that it is not made of harmful chemicals.

@Shavkat true. No need to panic because it is organic.

Well, no. Not really. Probably would've been fun if I could. Though, I do create them sometimes if I squeeze the soap before turning it over to wash dishes.

I think dishwashing soup can create bubbles and the blooms juice will make the bubbles strong.

Possible out parents did when we were young but I don't remember helping mix the ingredients at that time. I don't even know what wax mallow are.

I think it needs more of this bloom and laundry soap. I hope it will work this time.

I am planning to get more blooms and crash them with dishwashing soap. Although I need to ask my niece if she wants to try making it.

Yes, when Pretty was young, I used to make bubble solution for both of us to play with. Adding a bit of sugar to your bubble solution helps make longer lasting bubbles! They tend to bounce off objects more instead of popping as soon as they touch something.

I do like bubble gums before. I had enjoyed bubble gums with different flavors in Tajikistan.

If there is a chance, we can still do this for old time's sake.

When I was little, I used to make bubbles using a mixture of soap and colored paper. Sometimes I even sell it to friends and make a profit. If now the children just need to buy it from a traveling toy dealer because the price is cheap and they don't have to bother making their own.
