1 Obtain the necessary materials. Many of these items are sold at stores for around a dollar. Thrift Stores are also a possible source for them.
2 Put approximately 3 gallons of water in your container.
3 Add one half of a bottle of the liquid soap you bought.
4 Put the soap bottle out of reach of the children as it is toxic.
5 Watch the children so that no one falls into the container.
6 Put one of the nets in the water and remove slowly so there is soap film in the holes in the net.
7 Move the net though the air so the air passing through the holes in the net forms a bubble. It may take several tries to learn the best speed to the net.
8 Make sure the children stand away from each other so they do not get soap in their eyes

How to Make Balloon Fairy Wings for Birthday Parties
HOW TO MAKE BALLOON FAIRY WINGS!
Fairy wings are very popular with the girls at a party. The adults like them and some of the boys as well.
Using the balloon pump, inflate a balloon leaving about 4 inches un-inflated at the end. Remove the balloon from the pump carefully while pinching the end so no air escapes.
To tie off the balloon, use your other hand to pinch and then pull on the end to stretch it. Release the first hand and re-pinch the balloon a short distance away from the end. This action will give you enough room to tie off the balloon by making a loop and pushing the end through the loop and pulling it tight.
Put this balloon around the waist of the child and twist the ends together to hold it in place. Make sure the twisted ends are in back of the child.
Inflate another balloon and tie off the end. Now tie the ends of the balloon together to form a rough circle.
Now do the same with another balloon of the same color.
You now have two balloon circles of the same color. Tie them together tightly to form a figure eight.
Now form each balloon into a heart. To do this, take the middle of the side opposite the tie and form a fold that just fits into your hand. Squeeze your hand into a fist and hold it briefly. When you release your hand the circle will now be heart shaped. Do the same to the other balloon.
Take the completed wings and attach them to the balloon around the waist of the child. Do this by twisting the free ends of the waist balloon around the center of the wings.
Now you are done. Now tell them to fly away!
