DIY Bubble Wands

Didn't really have a chance to buy much for Easter with the the province being pretty much on lockdown, but I made some Easter-themed bubble wands out of copper jewelry wire, natural bamboo skewers, and a single glass bead for each wand.

I know the kids will use them and they were easy to make! Win-win!

[image description: two large bubble wands, one orange, one green, sitting on a blue, white and black tree-silhouette-on-night-sky quilt cover. The green wand is a standard size with a hollow, oval-shaped handle and a clear green tube; the orange wand is twice as thick with a slightly longer clear orange tube and a double-size plastic handle shaped like that of a lightsaber, complete with ridge contouring down the haft and a guard in front of what would be called the ricasso, if a lightsaber were a sword.]

For Aussies: Woolworths has the Jumbo Bubble Tube on a half price sale for $1 AUD.

It’s a cheap bubble wand that looks a lot like a lightsaber. I think that sells it for most of us! I’ve photographed it beside one of the Big-W wands I’ve featured previously for scale - it’s only a little longer but much wider and has a much more interesting handle, although some of the edges are sharp.

However, people with hand disabilities should know that this thing is heavy. It wasn’t so bad when shopping because I just stashed it into my roller trolley, but when I brought it home and used to blow bubbles, it made my wrist ache holding it up for just one blow. By three, I was done. That handle is so unbalanced and adds so much extra weight to the blower, and the larger tube only makes it worse for me to handle.
