These bubbles have extra staying power thanks to our special ingredients, so kids are sure to be delighted with big, bouncy bubbles while playing.

We think the little ghost and pumpkin faces are so cute and fun addition to this simple DIY idea.

Supplies You Will Need For Halloween DIY Bubbles

To Make This Bubble Solution You’ll Need:

1 cup of water
4 tablespoons of dish soap
2 tablespoons of corn syrup
orange food coloring

To Make The Bubble Container You’ll Need:

empty spice bottles that have been cleaned
small water bottles, cut in half
black construction paper
scissors
glue
felt pipe cleaners to use as the wands

How To Make Halloween DIY Bubbles

Mix all three ingredients until well combined. This will make a clear solution, which we used for the “ghost” containers. If you would also like to make “pumpkin” bubbles, you can add a few drops of orange food coloring to part of the solution. You can mix red and yellow food coloring if you don’t have orange on hand.

Once the solution was mixed, it’s time to pour it into your containers. We like to use old spice jars because they have lids. This would be the best option if you plan to take this to your kid’s school or hand it out on Halloween night. Cut some small water bottles in half as well and they worked great for the larger circles we made with our pipe cleaners. This would be a great option if you’re just playing at home with these DIY bubbles.

You could also use leftover wands from the bubbles you buy at the store. It seems like we always have those lying around. For the pumpkin and ghost faces, use a pair of scissors to cut shapes out of black construction paper and then a glue stick to quickly adhere them to the containers. We usually do this the night before we made the solution and were playing with them so that they had plenty of time to dry. You could probably also use a black self-stick contact paper to cut shapes out of it and stick them to the jars without having to use glue.

After mixing the solution, and twisting the pipe cleaners into circles, I let the kids have at it. You could also get creative and bend the pipe cleaners into different shapes: you could make squares, triangles, or diamonds as well as the traditional circles. Kids enjoy trying out different shapes and seeing how their bubbles would work. We did make several sets of wands with the pipe cleaners because, after a while, we found they got a little soggy and droopy so they didn’t make the best bubbles anymore. After you finish playing, hose down the sidewalk and patio. Because there is corn syrup in our solution, you don’t want any unwanted pests coming to check it out.
