Regular Slime

• 2 bottles Elmer’s Glue (5-6 oz each bottle), clear, glitter glue, or white glue
• 1/2-1 tsp Borax
• 1 C hot water, 1/2 C water
• food coloring (optional)
• glitter (optional)

Instructions

1. 1. In a large bowl, mix one cup hot water with 1/2 tsp of borax. Dissolve completely and set aside to cool.
   2. In the second smaller bowl, whisk together one of the containers of glue with 1/2 cup of water.
   3. Optional: Add a squirt of liquid watercolor, a few drops of food coloring, and/or glitter into the glue and water mixture.
   4. Pour the glue mixture into the first bowl with the borax and water mixture.
   5. Squish and mix the slime together using a spoon or gloves, if desired.
   6. Once the slime no longer feels chunky, pull it out of the bowl and knead it. *The final consistency shouldn’t be sticky, stretchy, or rubbery.
   7. Add confetti, if desired.

 

Slime that is too sticky

If your slime is feeling too sticky, put it back into the bowl and squish it into the water some more. If this doesn’t help, add another ¼ tsp of borax to the water mixture and then try putting the slime back into the mixture again.

Slime that is too stretchy

If your slime is too stretchy, add ¼ tsp of borax to the water and stir until it dissolves. Now put the slime back into the borax and water and squish again.

Slime that is too rubbery

Here is super rubbery slime!

Sometimes this will fix itself after it has been played with for several minutes and gets warmed up.

If it’s still too rubbery after being warmed up, then you will make another batch of slime that is super stretchy. Then combine the two slimes, and they melt together to make a great consistency. Pictured below is a super stretchy slime with a rubbery one on top of it. When they combined, it was perfect consistency!

Once they blend together, knead them for a minute or two, and your slime will feel so much better!

The way to make a super stretchy slime is to use only ¼ tsp of borax when you make the water and borax mixture.

That’s where the second glue bottle comes in handy!
