Tri-string wands can be used to make bubbles from small to whale-size depending on the size of the loop. They are easy to make and the go-to wand for creating big bubbles. While they can be elaborate with clips and swivels and segmented or telescoped handles, then can be as simple as a pair of chopsticks and a shoelace. Getting Started? See the article Getting Started With Tri-Strings for a wealth of advice. Thommy has posted a great blog entry about string materials and how to attach them. More about tri-strings.

abstract	Tri-string wands can be used to make bubbles from small to whale-size depending on the size of the loop. They are easy to make and the go-to wand for creating big bubbles. While they can be elaborate with clips and swivels and segmented or telescoped handles, then can be as simple as a pair of chopsticks and a shoelace. They usually consist of a pair of handles and an attached loop (often called a wick). Loops are sometimes made from a single piece of wick material but are more frequently made from two lengths of material: a top string and a bottom string or down string that is roughly twice the top-string's length. The bottom-string is sometimes threaded through a washer that weighs down the bottom string slightly. The term tri-string seems to refer to the triangular shape of the loop's opening. Getting Started? See the article Getting Started With Tri-Strings for a wealth of advice. Wick materials. (See: Wicks.) Quite a large variety of materials work -- though some work much better than others. Cotton twine, so-called "t-shirt yarn", diamond-braid cotton rope (with the core removed), mop yarn, and some knitting and crochet yarns are effective -- even cotton shoelaces can work. In general, natural fibers work better than synthetics though there are some synthetics that work great. The wick does not need to hold a lot of bubble solution. More is not necessarily better. Even a super giant bubble consists of only a few teaspoons of "juice". Attachments. Many methods can be used to attach the strings to the poles. On my first wand, I just tied the strings tightly to bamboo garden stakes. There are a couple of basic 'styles' of tri-strings: those where the loop attaches directly to the handles and those where the handles have some sort of clip or attachment point to which the loop attaches. Thommy has posted a great blog entry about string materials and how to attach them. Getting started. To get started with tri-strings, take a look at Getting Started With Tri-Strings. The article contains advice on wick materials, design and use. More about tri-strings. See all the articles on the wiki tagged with . To use a tri-string wand, you simply dip the string into a container of bubble juice, lift up the wand with the handles held together, spread the handles apart to let the bubble start forming (you may have to walk forwards or backwards if there is no breeze) and then bring the handles back together to close the bubble as in the video.
