Here is an amazing recipe to get you started!
Ingredients
- 200ml of White Glue
- A couple of pumps of lotion
- 50 – 100ml of Activator ( Mix 1tsp borax to 1 cup warm water)
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Food colouring (optional)
- Add-ins such as sprinkles and charms (optional)
- Container (to store the slime)
Method:
- Pour glue into the bowl (the more glue you use the more slime you get!)
- Add 1-2 pumps of lotion into the glue, this helps the slime become softer and stretchier.
- Add 1-2 drops of food colouring, or until you get your desired slime colour.
- Try adding decorations and slime add ins into the slime mixture.
- Next, add your borax solution into the bowl slowly. Add the solution drop by drop and mix while you're adding it. Keep adding the solution until it starts to pull away from the bowl.
- Finally, take the slime out of the bowl and start to knead it with your hands. You’ll find it’s a bit sticky at first, but the more you knead it, the less sticky it will become and start to become like slime. If you feel like it's still too sticky, add more activator to it.
