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.

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!
