These gorgeous DIY bubble wands are so much fun to make! Aren’t they just beautiful with the beads catching the sunlight? Plus, they work remarkably well with our homemade bubble solution.

    Start by stringing beads onto a pipe cleaner.

    This is a great fine motor activity for little hands, too!

  2. Attach pipe cleaner to the dowel

    Once you have your beads strung onto the pipe cleaner, twist it onto the end of a dowel.

    You can add a bit of hot glue from the glue gun to make sure they stay in place.

We took the wands out to the garden with a bowl of homemade bubble solution. And blew bubbles!

We love the extra big bubbles made with these wands!
