Borax-Slime-Steps-to-make-homemade-slime
Step 1: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of borax powder into 1 cup of water in one of the three bowls. I usually use room temperature water. There will still be some powder grains left in bottom of bowl. Don’t go crazy mixing it, but spend a good minute.
Step 2: In the second bowl measure out about 1/2 cup of clear glue and mix with 1/2 cup of water until well mixed
Step 3: Pour glue/water mixture into borax/water mixture.
Step 4: Get your hands in there and mix.
Step 5: You will see it come together right away. It will seem stringy and clumpy, but that’s ok!
Step 6: Spend a few minutes kneading the mixture together. You will have left over borax solution.
Step 7: Transfer your slime to the third bowl which should be clean and dry.
Step 8: Give it 5 minutes to come together. Even better the next day too!
Step 9: Store in clean container loosely covered. Again, I use the dollar store plastic food storage containers.
