Supplies & Materials

  • Pipe cleaners any color you like
  • Pony beads or similar plastic beads
  • Small tray or bowl for holding beads
  • Bubble solution

Instructions

  • Choose a pipe cleaner and fold it in half. Twist the folded end into a small loop—that’s where the bubbles will form. Twist the remaining ends together to make a handle.
  • Slide beads onto the handle portion to decorate your wand. Use patterns, match colors, or mix them up however you'd like.
  • To keep the beads from sliding off, bend the bottom tip of the pipe cleaner or curl it into a small knot.
  • Dip your custom wand into bubble solution and have fun watching the bubbles float and pop.
