How To Make Slime – Best Slime Recipes

Created On: January 17, 2020  |  Updated: October 19, 2021  |  

Perfect Slime Recipes

Ever wonder how to make slime at home that comes out perfect every time? I admit I’ve tried a few kits that I’ve bought at the craft store and they just didn’t work as well as I would have hoped. Not only that, sometimes the ingredients were all dried up and not useable.

I wanted to look up how to make slime at home, but wanted to test out recipes that actually work! I’m happy to report that I’ve found some great slime recipes, but also some great tips and tricks to make foolproof slime every time!

How To Make Slime Not Runny

If you’ve ever made slime at home, then you know all too well about the runny slime! Here are some things to fix your slime if it comes out too runny:

* Add clear glue – Add clear glue to your runny slime to help thicken it up. Add about 1/4 cup at a time until your slime is no longer runny.

* Add baking soda – Add baking soda to your slime to help absorb some of the liquid. Add at 1/4 tsp at a time until the desired texture is achieved.

How To Make Slime Not Sticky.

Another common problem with making slime recipes is that it can sometimes come out sticky. No one wants to play with sticky slime! Here are few quick fixes for that icky sticky slime:

* Add baby oil – Add baby oil to slime at about 1/2 teaspoon at a time until it is no longer sticky.

* Add baking soda – Baking soda can help unstick your slime. Just add this in at 1/2 teaspoon at a time.

* Add contact lens solution – Use 1 teaspoon at a time until your slime is no longer sticky.
