Homemade Slime Recipe

Here’s a fun and easy homemade slime recipe that the kids will love! It’s easy to make and great for all kinds of parties.

1/2 cup white glue
6 Tbsp. water
food coloring
1-4 tsp. Borax
1-4 Tbsp. water

Mix the glue, 6 tablespoons water and food coloring until the glue is dissolved. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon borax into 1 tablespoon water. Add to the glue solution. You will get a very thick clump of slime when the two mix. Pull the clump of slime out of the glue mixture and put it in a separate bowl.

Mix another batch of the borax solution and add to the remaining glue mixture. Repeat until all the glue mixture is used (about 3-4 times).

With clean hands, knead the slime to get it to mix. This will take about 10 minutes and is not very difficult as the slime easily separates between your fingers.

If you desire a looser, more slimy texture, knead in a bit more water. The more water you add, the slimier it gets.

This is great for Halloween entertaining. Store in an airtight container. This slime recipe can easily be doubled, tripled or quadrupled.
