  • The opening of a coat hanger can be bent to create a circled loop

  • You can also use plastic strawberry baskets, these make great bunch of bubbles. Dip the strawberry basket into the plastic bin containing the solution. Once you seethe film, gently take it out of the solution and gently blow through the basket,or just spin the basket around by waving your arm or twirling around

  • You can also make bubbles with your hands. Just dip your hands into the solution and create a loop. Blow the air gently through it and you can create beautiful bubbles

  • Poke a large enough hole in the middle of a plastic lid. Use the lip on the lid to hold onto while dipping it into the bubble solution

  • You can have lots of fun using plastic cookie cutters to blow bubbles. Basically, any container that has the tendency to hold the film would work
