        1 dowel; little bigger than 1/4" diameter, 3' long
        1 wooden bead; large enough hole in the center to slip over the
        end of the dowel *AND* the cording.
        1 plastic ring; 1" - 1 1/4" in diameter
        cotton cording; about 1 yard.

        Knot the cording 3/4" from both ends. Tie the ring to the cord
        1 1/2' from one knot. Slip the ring over the dowel. Pull the
        knotted ends of the cording over one end of the dowel and push
        the bead over both the cording and the dowel. This should be a
        *TIGHT* fit. Make your bubble solution. Dip the cording in the
        solution and allow to soak for awhile. Tip the wand so the
        *ring* opens and wave slowly. Enjoy on a hot, lazy summer's day!

        *I think any size dowel/bead combination will work, so long as
        the bead will fit over the end of the dowel. I've seen many
        different sizes used.*
