How to Make DIY Pipe Cleaner Bubble Wands

Making your own bubble wands with pipe cleaners is a fun, easy craft that’s perfect for kids and adults alike. Not only are these wands a creative project, but they also actually work, allowing you to blow bubbles with your very own handmade wand. In this simple tutorial, we’ll walk you through each step to create a colorful and functional pipe cleaner bubble wand.

Materials Needed

• Colourful pipe cleaners
• A handful of beads (ensure they’re wide enough to fit over the pipe cleaners)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Create the Loop

Start by bending one end of the pipe cleaner into a loop. Twist the end around the pipe cleaner to secure it in place. You should leave about 14 cm of pipe cleaner extending down from the loop. This will form the base of your wand.

Step 2: Add Fun Shapes

If you’d like to get creative, you can shape the loop into a fun design. Try making hearts, tear drops, or any other shape that suits your fancy! It’s a great way to personalize your wand.

Step 3: Thread on the Beads

Next, take the long section of the pipe cleaner (the part that extends below the loop) and thread beads onto it. Slide them on until you’re about 2 cm from the end of the pipe cleaner. Feel free to use as many beads as you like to add some sparkle to your wand.

Step 4: Secure the End

To finish off the wand, bend the end of the pipe cleaner around the last bead you added. Then, poke the end up through the beads, hiding it inside the bead loop for a neat, finished look.

Step 5: Test It Out!

Once your wand is complete, it’s time to test it! Dip the loop into bubble solution and gently blow through it—or wave the wand to watch bubbles form! These colorful wands not only look great but they really do work.

Creating your own DIY pipe cleaner bubble wand is a quick and satisfying craft that’s perfect for both kids and adults. Plus, it’s an excellent way to make a craft that’s both functional and fun! Whether you’re making them for a party, a fun afternoon activity, or as a gift, these bubble wands are sure to impress.
