The disadvantage of such compositions is their short service life and insufficient elasticity. Quite quickly they begin to tear when trying to stretch.

Those who need slime to clean their keyboard from minor dirt can prepare a lot of the required density from available ingredients. The slime does not remain on the surface it comes into contact with, so its use is safe for equipment. Fans of original solutions can surprise their friends by playing with transparent, magnetic or glass slime - there's no way there's any kind of slime!

DIY transparent slime: how to make

How to make slime: Pixabay
A very unusual version of slime is good because when creating it, you can add various decorative things (beads or sparkles), thereby making it absolutely unique.

You can mix the desired mixture from: transparent glue - 100 ml, boric acid - ½ tbsp. l., hot water - 200 ml, water at room temperature - 2 tbsp. l.

If you want to decorate transparent slime, prepare additional glitter. Then do the following:

1. Mix boric acid well with hot water and make sure the mixture is smooth and clear.
2. Pour the glue into a separate container and add one spoon of water to it. Stir.
3. The next step is adding boric acid. First add 2-3 tbsp. l. solution to the glue and mix the mixture well. It should become sticky.
4. Next, start kneading the slime with your hands, adjusting the amount of ingredients. If you feel that the slime is becoming too dense, add a little glue to it. If it is sticky, you need to add a few more tablespoons of boric acid.

Keep in mind that when playing with this slime, bubbles may form in it. To restore it to its original appearance, leave it for a few days. Be sure to store in an airtight container or cellophane.

Starch slime based on PVA

For starch slime based on PVA, you need to follow certain rules:

• Use fresh glue, preferably white and thick. Freshness is an important condition, since after long-term storage the liquid can separate, which is not important for its intended purpose, but is crucial for creating a stretchy mass;
• starch should be looked for in the household chemicals store on the powder shelf. A liquid concentrate is required, which is used for washing clothes. If you can’t find it, you can prepare it yourself from 1 part starch and 2 parts water;
• Choose a thick bag for mixing, as it will wrinkle well and preferably with a zip fastener.

If everything is prepared, then let's proceed:

1. Pour 70 ml of starch and 2-3 drops of dye into the bag. You can start with 1 drop, because if you overdo it, the mucus will stain your hands.

2. Shake the glue well and measure 25 ml into the bag.

3. Close the zip fastener tightly or tie it. Knead the mixture thoroughly until it thickens.

4. This will remove a small amount of liquid, which needs to be drained and the slime dried on a paper towel.

Store in a tightly closed container for a week. After playing, be sure to wash your hands.

Butter slime from plasticine: how to make it at home

How to make slime: YouTube/Masha Zoom
Butter slime is a very delicate slime that has a texture reminiscent of soft butter. Repeating the recipe for this slime will not be difficult.

You will need: light plasticine, PVA glue - 120 g, shaving foam - 1 bottle, baby powder and starch - approximately 50 g each, hand cream and shampoo - 20-30 g each, dye - optional, sodium tetraborate.

Plasticine will serve as an ideal basis for such a toy. Do the preparatory work:

1. Mix the glue and foam into a homogeneous mass, and then stir in the dry ingredients.
2. Once you knead the mixture perfectly, pour the cream and shampoo into the same container. Mix everything thoroughly again.
3. If using dye, add it at this stage. It is best if it matches the color of the plasticine used.
4. Next, the slime needs to be thickened. To do this, dilute sodium tetraborate with water and add little by little to other products. When you get the required consistency, knead the mixture with your hands.
5. Gently knead the plasticine and slime until smooth using your hands.

Now you can enjoy the light texture of this slime.

Why use thickeners and what they are?

The consistency of the slime depends on the form of the thickener:

• eye drops;
• borax or borax (sodium tetrobarate);
• contact lens cleaning composition;
• a drug containing alcohol or salicylic acid;
• washing gel;
• air freshener;
• soda or salt;
• Polish for hair;
• powdered sugar;
• starch;
• dishwashing liquid;
• gelatin.

Each of the listed funds has its own characteristics and characteristics.

Salt

Sodium tetraborate, also known as borox or borax, and other salt-containing substances are the most effective thickeners, firmly holding the slime together through chemical reactions. The selected components are first thoroughly mixed, then one of the salt products is added drop by drop.

Soapy

If sodium tetraborate is not available, you can use washing gel or washing liquid. The process of creating such a toy does not take much time and it turns out thick and beautiful.

Sprays

Some people make the slime thicker with air freshener or strong hold hairspray. These are very “capricious” products that do not always allow you to achieve the desired consistency. Experienced slime manufacturers recommend choosing thickeners from soda or salt.

Soda

Works as well as sodium tetraborate or salt in most recipes. Use soda in the form of a solution or powder - you need to mix one part of it with three parts of water. Soda gives the product good density and ductility.

Gelatin

It is not a universal product and only works under certain conditions. To make the toy, gelatin is soaked in water for 40 minutes. While it swells, mix the bulk of the other components.

The soaked gelatin is heated over low heat, stirring constantly until completely dissolved, then cooled and added to the rest of the ingredients.

Sugar

It is better to use powdered sugar diluted with liquid soap or shampoo rather than sand. Edible slimes are made from the same thickener, of course, without chemical components.

Fluffy slime: classic recipe

How to make slime: YouTube/Issin
Every day, many accounts on social networks publish videos with incredibly airy slimes. To get a similar product at home, stock up on: PVA glue - three tubes, transparent glue - one medium jar, water - approximately 30-50 ml, soft clay - if possible, shaving foam - ¼ bottle, any dye - optional, thickener (boric acid or sodium tetraborate) - as needed.

Using this recipe, you will definitely be able to make the same delicate fluffy slime as in the pictures. Complete the following work steps:

1. Pour all the prepared glue into a deep bowl. Add some water and mix thoroughly.
2. If you can find soft clay, add it to the sticky mixture and knead it well.
3. Add a little shaving foam to the same container, after shaking the can well. At this stage you can use dye.
4. The last step is to use a thickener. Determine its quantity based on the consistency of the slime.

You can also repeat this recipe without using PVA glue and clay, but the result will not be as high quality.

Brief description of PVA and its types

PVA is a combination of an aqueous emulsion of polyvinyl acetate with various plasticizers and additives. It has a white color and a weak characteristic odor. PVA Features:

• withstands deformation when drying;
• does not crystallize;
• mixes with water;
• non-toxic;
• elastic;
• soluble in organic acids;
• does not burn.

The scope of application varies depending on the additives present in it. There are several options for PVA:

1. Household (wallpaper) . It can be used to glue paper-based wallpaper to walls. Frost-resistant (down to -40˚С). Holds paper well.
2. Universal (PVA-MB). It has the ability to glue not only paper, but also wood, leather, and cardboard. Frost resistance down to -20˚С.
3. Stationery (PVA-K). The most common office adhesive. Does not have frost resistance. More liquid in consistency than wallpaper.
4. Super glue or improved universal glue (PVA-M). It is used during construction work. Frost resistance reaches -40˚С.

Any of these types is suitable for making slime at home. You just need to take into account the characteristics of each of them. [su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7PMplPHo3E”]

Cool slime made from toothpaste and liquid soap: a simple recipe

How to make slime: YouTube/Fun DI Family
If you want to get a very sticky slime, we recommend paying attention to this option from toothpaste. Use the following ingredients: aromatic liquid soap, toothpaste, dye and a little flour.

This recipe is very simple, you need to do the following:

1. Soap and toothpaste will have to be added in equal proportions, so start mixing a small amount of ingredients, gradually increasing it. Immediately stir in the dye.
2. To thicken the contents of the bowl a little, gradually add a little flour.
3. Once you are sure that there are no lumps left in the slime, pour some water into the bowl and mix the correct sticky slime.

Since the components of such a toy can dry out quickly, it is better to store the paste slime in an airtight container.

Safety rules for making and playing with slime

Basic recommendations:

1. Do not give to a child under 3 years of age. Inedible slimes can be dangerous for babies. Edible slimes are difficult to chew and often lead to airway blockages.
2. They are not allowed to take slime outside. Dust and dirt settle on the sticky surface - the toy turns into a breeding ground for bacteria. There is no point in washing such a slime; it will soften.
3. Do not stretch the viscous substance. Despite its flexibility, the mass breaks. And the slime, rolled into a tight ball, breaks when it hits the floor.
4. Do not store edible slimes for more than 1 day. The product will spoil.
5. Do not leave the slime in the heat or sun. The toy will melt.

When making slime, mix the ingredients thoroughly and handle the components and utensils carefully when working with the microwave.
