1. Read the pouch first
Use the water and dish-soap quantities on your actual BubbleStix pouch. Formulas differ, so a generic internet recipe is not a substitute for the instructions supplied with your mix. Have an adult help with preparation.
2. Prepare the space and equipment
Use a clean mixing container. Place it on stable ground, keep the handles in your hands, and let the string soak in the prepared solution. Keep the string untangled and avoid dragging it on the ground.
3. Lift together, then gently open
Lift the sticks close together so the wet loop comes clear of the container. Open your arms slowly. Let a light breeze fill the film, or move gently through still air while watching your footing.
4. Close the loop to release
Bring the sticks back toward each other gently to help release the bubble. Dip again before the film dries. Change one thing at a time if your first attempts pop.
