As you can see, everything is quite simple. If you can’t find a jar of glycerin at home, you will have to take a walk to the pharmacy.
Cooking method:

- Fill in soap hot water and stir the solution with a spoon until the soap is completely dissolved. In the process, you can laugh at the villainous laugh.
- Do not boil the solution! Water should be hot, but not boiling!
- If a few bars of soap remain to swim in a saucer, strain the solution through cheesecloth.
- Last step. Pour glycerin into the resulting liquid.
Do not forget to prepare a tool that will blow bubbles. A wand from under the store bubble of soap bubbles will do. Often at home they use a straw, which is also very convenient. And you can turn the circle of the desired diameter from the wire found in the garage. Now you are prepared for inflating bubbles of any size!
