People living in cold climates can make these frozen beauties when the temperature hovers around 0 degrees F. We’ve had the best success creating the bubbles by blowing a mixture of 1/6 cup clear dishwashing detergent, 1cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon of glycerin or corn syrup through a drinking straw. If you want to photograph the bubbles indirect light is best.
People living in warmer climates can try blowing soap bubbles onto a plate with ice on it, or in the freezer section of a refrigerator. Another really neat trick is to put some dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) in a glass aquarium or cardboard box. Slowly blow a soap bubble above the dry ice. It will sink into the dense, cold carbon dioxide and freeze. Be careful handling the dry ice and don’t touch it without gloves. Carbon dioxide freezes at -109 degrees F. Touching dry ice feels like touching a hot frying pan.
