Finding bubble mix

[leondz 10]

Hi,

 

Saw this video

and I'd love to have a go. Most of the bubble mix recipes I can find require some proper commercial bubble mix which you're meant to be able to find in most toy shops, apparently, but I haven't found any in Sheffield.

 

Does anybody know where to get this stuff locally?

I made some for my Niece last year mixing equal parts washing up liquid (don't remember the brand) and Glycerine, worked very well.

The bubbles looks really great!

1/2 gallon of water

1/2 cup dishwashing liquid (Joy or Dawn works best.)

1/4 cup glycerine, corn syrup, or one package (about 1/4 ounce) of unflavored gelatin

Thanks for this - ELC had run out and weren't sure when they'd be resupplied, but they directed me to Mothercare, who have it in the far corner underground.

Blow the bubbles from an upstairs window on a windless sub zero day and you'll get frozen bubbles all over your garden.

Try it, it's fun.

Then again, i'm easily pleased.
