To start, drill holes on one end of each dowel, and screw in the eye bolts. Cut a 3-foot length of cotton rope, and attach it to the ends of the dowel. Cut a length of 5-foot rope, and tie off one end to the dowel. Thread a few washers on the 5-foot rope before tying off the other end. The washers will act as weights for your bubble wand.

Now, get to bubbling! Simply dip the entire string into your bubble solution, gently pull the rods apart to allow the bubble to form, and close the rods together to release your bubble. Basic bottles of bubbles will be a thing of the past.
