Pretty Bubble Jars In 4 Simple Steps

　Pretty jars of bubbles with heart-shaped wands add a whimsical handmade touch to your wedding day. Hand them out before your ceremony starts with a note attached asking guests to blow bubbles as you walk back down the aisle with your new hubby. Here Debra Norton from Vintage Paper Parade explains the four simple steps to creating these personalized bubble jars.

　　What You’ll Need

　　• Small glass jars

　　• Bubble solution (either store-bought or homemade)

　　• Ribbon or baker’s twine

　　• 8-10” pieces of 20-gauge jewellery wire

　　• Jewellery pliers

　　• Japanese Washi tape (optional)

　　To Make Your Own Bubble Solution

　　• Glycerin

　　• Dishwashing detergent

　　Mix one part detergent with 10 parts water and 1-2 tablespoons of glycerin (available in most drug stores and will make the bubbles last longer)

　　Example: ½ cup dishwasher detergent, 5 cups water plus 1-2 tbsp. glycerin

Step One: Your wire should already be cut into 8- to 10-inch sections. Take a section of wire and twist one end into small circle leaving a small dip at top.
　　Tip: Make sure you form your circle to fit inside your jar.

　　

　　Step Two: Pinch the top with pliers to form heart shape.

　　

　　Step Three: Twist the remaining wire below the heart shape to form the wand.

　　

　　Tip: Ensure you twist the ends tightly so there are no sharp ends.
