Q: What are bubble pipes used for?
A: Bubble pipes are plastic toys used for blowing soap bubbles. However, for a more unique and attractive toy or costume piece, you can convert a regular tobacco pipe into a bubble pipe. In fact, in the 17th, 18th and 19th century, clay tobacco pipes were commonly used by children for blowing bubbles.
Q: How to make a bubble pipe at home?
A: Go to your local tobacco shop and purchase a clay or corncob pipe. Clay pipes will be difficult to find and also expensive; however, corncob pipes are relatively cheap. Go to your local toy store and purchase bubble solution. If you prefer, you can also make your own bubble solution at home using soap and water.
Q: When did they stop making Bubble pipes?
A: In the 1950s, clay pipes dwindled in popularity and were replaced with plastic bubble pipes and bubble wands. While clay pipes are relatively difficult to find today, you easily convert a corncob pipe into a bubble blowing device.
Q: How do you get bubbles out of a PVC pipe?
A: Combine 15 parts water with one part dish detergent to make your own solution. Carefully fill the bowl of the pipe with the bubble solution. Do not overfill the pipe or allow the bowl to overflow. Place your mouth on the mouthpiece of the pipe and gently blow. Watch as bubbles rise from the bowl of the pipe.
