I found a pin for making your own bubbles, originally from Martha Stewart in July/August 1999 - back when I was interviewing for my first big girl job in San Francisco, far before I cared to make my own bubbles, or thought I'd ever have a kid with such cute kissy lips. Now that I'm an old lady, I know the value of bubbles, which is to say they are highly entertaining, but they get spilled like that (finger snap). I tested this recipe and it rocks. The solution is viscous, and strong, and produces bubbles that are massive and hover in the air for several seconds before really moving.  It also cost me about $1.50 to make a half-gallon.  Keep reading and I'll give you the recipe and tell you about these wands.
