Instructions:

  1. Mix the liquids together gently, trying not to make foam or bubbles. Set this mixture aside. 
  2. Form bubble wands out of floral wire: 
    1. Bend a portion of the wire around a plastic bottle cap to make a circle shape. 
    2. Use the remaining portion of the wire to form the stem and handle of the wand. 
    3. Be sure your wands can fit inside your bottle or jar. 
  3. Fill each jar with bubble mixture and a wand. 
  4. Label your jars and enjoy giving them as holiday gifts or party favors. The bubbles will be best if the mixture can set overnight.
