What's the best way to make slime?
I want to learn to make slime at home! I've heard a lot of recipes use glue and I think I have some at home, so that should be okay. Just in case, are there any slime recipes that don't use glue either?

- Use 1 cup (or a whole container) of Elmer’s school glue.
- Add 1 or 2 pumps of lotion.
- Dissolve 1 teaspoon of borax in 1 cup of hot water and let it cool.
- Gradually add 1 teaspoon of the solution to the glue while mixing. It will become stringy first and then turn into a cohesive slime as you mix and stretch it.
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1.5 tbsp dish soap
- stir! add more cornstarch if too wet and more soap if too dry
- let mixture sit for 2 minutes
- you should have slime now!

1. Get 1 cup of some kind of glue, perhaps white school glue or clear glue, and put it into a mixing bowl.
2. Mix half a teaspoon of borax into 1 cup of warm water to make an activator solution.
3. Once mixed, slowly add the activator to the glue until it becomes slime.
To soften the slime up and to add extra stretchiness, you can add a couple of squirts of lotion from a bottle, a couple squirts of vegetable glycerin, or a couple of pumps of conditioner.
From there, the options are unlimited. You can add food dye, you can add scented oils, you can even add instant snow!

You could get some clay,now it with a bit of water until ice cream consistency.
Then add foam soap or shaving foam to the mix and it should come together.
Keep adding foam soap or shaving foam until it becomes slime.Hope this helps!
