How to make slime from water?

Take 100 g of PVA glue, powder or 4% solution of borax, borax (available in pharmacies without a prescription), food coloring. When all the components are prepared, we proceed to the process of making slime.

Take a container with water and pour 50 ml into it warm water.

Add glue, the density of the resulting product will depend on its concentration.

Mix all components thoroughly, and then add a solution of borax, borax - 1 vial per 100 g of glue - or powder, after dissolving a tablespoon of the ingredient with 100 ml of water.

Transfer the finished mixture from the container to the bag and mix well until the composition thickens.

Slime from the water is ready!

Handgum from soda

Such a product will not last long, a maximum of three to four days, but if you don’t need more, then this recipe is perfect. The manufacturing method is as follows:

Take plastic container, add 50 ml of water to it with a temperature of no more than 35 degrees, and the same amount of PVA glue to obtain a uniform consistency;

Pour in food coloring, mix thoroughly again;

Add soda diluted in a small amount of water;

Combine all the ingredients - the soda slime is ready!

Attention: starch can be used instead of soda, stir it thoroughly to obtain a jelly-like mixture.

Plasticine chewing gum

Such a product perfectly holds its shape and is quickly produced. What needs to be done:

Pour cold water into a metal bowl and dissolve the gelatin in it according to the instructions on the package.

Place this mixture in a cold place for an hour and a half.

After putting the saucepan on the fire and bring the contents to a boil, as soon as the first bulbs appear, remove the mixture from the heat.

Prepare 100 g of plasticine.

Add 50 ml of warm water to a plastic bowl and stir the plasticine in it.

Now you need to combine both mixtures and put the finished mixture in the refrigerator to cool.

Slime made of plasticine and gelatin is ready to use!

How to make slime from shampoo?

This recipe is even simpler, but not as reliable as the above recipes. To make such a slime, you need:

Take Titanium glue, shampoo, and also arm yourself with rubber gloves for safety and accuracy of work;

Now you need to combine glue and shampoo (3: 2), mix the composition well and get the finished cartoon character.

To add color, add a natural dye, you can take beetroot or carrot juice, as well as brilliant green or iodine.

It is better not to use this method for preparing slime for children under 5 years old due to the toxic composition of the toy.

How to make a slime without PVA glue?

This option for creating a slime is quite long with a lot of necessary ingredients, but the result justifies even the wildest expectations.

What ingredients do you need to prepare for this? These are sodium (boron) tetraborate, polyvinyl alcohol, a piece of bandage, water, food coloring and a plastic container.

Dilute alcohol with water (according to the instructions attached to PVA), boil this solution over low heat for 35-40 minutes;

Dilute boron powder in prepared dishes, pass the resulting mass through gauze, removing excess liquid;

Combine both mixtures and mix thoroughly;

To make the slime softer, add a drop of glycerin to the composition;

Mix with the selected dye, and so that the slime does not start to dry out, it must be periodically placed in a bowl with warm water.

This version of the slime will be of the highest quality, but it is not suitable for use for children under 3 years old.

How to make slime without sodium tetraborate?

If you want to make a high-quality and long-lasting product, then you should tinker a little and invest small cash.

The sequence of work is as follows:

Take ¼ of PVA glue, 1/3 of liquid starch, acrylic paints or food coloring and a plastic bag for mixing the composition.

Pour the required amount of starch into the bag, drop a few drops of gouache to color the product;

Add glue and bring the prepared mixture to a homogeneous consistency;

Leave the slime in a cold place for 4 hours.

Soap handgum

Such a toy requires special care, after each use of the slime you need to wash it under running water, and you need to store the product in the refrigerator - then the Velcro will last about a month or even more.

Making a toy according to this recipe is very simple: you need to mix in equal amounts shampoo and liquid soap, close the container with a tight lid and place it in a cold place for 24 hours. Lizun is ready to delight kids and adults!

If the slime didn't work out...

The result directly depends on the constituent ingredients, each material differs significantly from its counterpart, depending on the manufacturer. You should not immediately give up, you need to experiment with the ratio of ingredients, to make it thicker you need to add more glue, and if the slime is too rough, soak it in warm water.

Now you know how to make a slime at home using improvised means. Such a toy can cheer up children and amuse adults. Store the finished product in the refrigerator and, if dirty or spoiled, dispose of it so as not to harm the babies.

Hello! In this article I will write several ways how at home you can make the famous and beloved slime by many. This toy was very popular in my childhood, because it was in the 90s that the cartoon and the movie "Ghostbusters" were shown. In this cartoon there was a ghost Lizun, which became the prototype of the famous toy. She could stick to a wall, a table, quickly change her shape.

You can also make a similar toy yourself. This is a fun activity for kids (they love all sorts of experiences) and adults will enjoy the creation process too. So, I write some of the best ways.

According to this recipe, I made a slime yesterday with my daughter. The process is very fast, it takes a couple of minutes. First you need to stock up on the necessary ingredients. It turns out according to this recipe a substance similar to " smart plasticine". For it you will need:

PVA glue - 100 ml
a solution of 4% sodium tetraborate (boron) - a few drops
food coloring (or brilliant green, or gouache)
plastic container
wooden stick (pencil or spatula)

From these proportions, a fairly large slime is obtained. If you need a small one, reduce the amount. Can make multiple slides different colors, so the children will be much more interesting.

I did it in a jar of gouache. You can use any plastic jar or container. First, pour PVA glue, add any dye that you have available to it. I took orange food coloring (I still have it from Easter). You can also paint with greenery or gouache. Mix the glue with paint thoroughly with a pencil until a uniform color.

Then pour sodium tetraborate and mix well. If tetraborate is not enough, then add it little by little. The glue should become thick. The mass will begin to peel off the pencil and jar. After that, you can take it with your hands and knead. It relieves stress in adults well, on the table it slowly spreads into a small smooth puddle.

The only thing I didn’t like was that such a slime (or smart plasticine, slime or handgam, which translates as chewing gum for hands) paints hands and a table. I think it would be better with gouache. It also doesn't have a very pleasant smell. Optionally, you can add flavorings to it, if there are any in the house.

The price of such a slime is small. I bought glue for 35 rubles, sodium tetraborate is sold in any pharmacy without a prescription for 19 rubles, the dye cost me 5 rubles. Total - 59 rubles. But I used glue for one slime somewhere in the sixth part of the jar, less than a third of the tetraborate.

It is important that the glue is fresh, homogeneous, without water. Nothing will work out of bad glue. Keep the mass in a closed jar so that it does not dry out.

Here's what I got (video):

Slime without sodium tetraborate

You can make a slime very similar to the previous one, only use liquid washing powder instead of sodium tetraborate. It is the washing powder in the gel, not the fabric softener and other gels.

Take a look at how the creation process takes place:

We make a slime from plasticine and gelatin

This method is popular and good feedback. They write that it turns out a good slime. But such a toy is short-lived. Suitable for young children to develop fine motor skills hands You will need:

plasticine (color optional) - 50 gr.
gelatin - 25 gr.
warm water - 30 ml
plastic container for mixing ingredients
a metal container for heating gelatin (you can use plastic or ceramic if you use a microwave)
wooden stick for stirring

First, pour gelatin into a metal container cold water to let the water cover it. Leave for 20 minutes for the powder to swell. After that, it is necessary to heat the mass so that it completely dissolves. This can be done in a water bath or in the microwave. In the second case, heat the gelatin for about 2 minutes.

In a plastic container, pour plasticine with warm water, mix with a wooden stick until smooth. Add the cooled gelatin to the plasticine and mix everything thoroughly again. Then put in the refrigerator to harden our slime. When it freezes, it's ready! The finished toy should also be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container.

How to make slime with starch and PVA glue

This is also an easy way, like the first with the second. The difference is that liquid starch is taken as a thickener (and not boron or liquid powder). Required components:

PVA glue - 100 ml.
liquid starch (this is not food starch, but chemical agent for washing). You can take food, but with it the result will be worse. If you take food starch, it will need to be mixed with water - 140 ml
dye (brilliant green, gouache, food)
plastic bag

They write that it is according to this recipe that the slime will turn out, as in the store. To make such a slime, you need to pour starch into a small bag, add paint and glue to it.

Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until smooth through polyethylene. After that, the mass should be given time to freeze slightly in the refrigerator (about 3 hours). Everything, the toy is ready, you can play!

If excess liquid remains after mixing, it must be drained.

Other slime options at home

There are many more various options. But they do not guarantee a good result. Most of those who did according to other recipes write that nothing happened. For example, they make slime with baking soda. Only in this case a very hard substance is obtained, which cannot be called a lizun, a handgum, etc. in any way. There's no way to crush her. So it's better not to waste your time making such a creature.

There is also a way to make slime from shampoo and titanium glue. But the slime by this method, too, most likely will not work. It will spread, stick to your hands.

There is also a way to make a toy using polyvinyl alcohol instead of glue. But this method is quite troublesome. First, you need to find this very alcohol in powder, dilute it correctly with water. And then cook for 35 minutes. I think not everyone wants to bother like that when there are ways that are more affordable and faster.

In some sources I found a recipe for making slime from flour, water and dye. But every person knows that by mixing flour with water, you get dough. You can sculpt from this dough, it's safe for kids, good for fine motor skills, but this is not slime. I make this colored play dough for my kids because it is softer than plasticine.

Store the slime in a closed jar with a tight lid. Otherwise it will dry out.
Do not store the toy in warm places. Moreover, do not put it on the battery, in the sun.
Do not place handgams on a fleecy surface. Because of this, hairs will stick to it, it will lose its structure and smoothness.
You can add flavorings or essential oils during cooking to kill the smell of glue and other ingredients.
You can experiment with the composition of the mixture. Two drops of vinegar can be added to the paint mixture - the slime will stretch better. If you add a little hydrogen peroxide, the mass will turn out to be more airy, not sticky. If you add glycerin, then the "crusher" will become slippery.

Some of the methods will be covered in detail in the creation instructions, using comprehensive illustrations. Here you will find a list of necessary materials, information about where it is all purchased. Let's start step by step description making slime with your own hands.

From PVA glue, borax and water

This fast way make a sticky toy without spending special efforts. A craft made in this way will turn out elastic, it will be able to bounce off surfaces, almost like a jumper, it will remain soft. A slime made in this way is not "afraid" of water (you can safely wash it).

Source materials:

Pure PVA glue white color, with an up-to-date expiration date (this is important, because it will affect the quality of your slime), in an amount of 100 g;
One glass of water at room temperature;
Borax (sodium tetraborate under medical term or borax). Buy it at any pharmacy, radio or chemical stores, there are no special conditions or restrictions on its sale. Ask for either a 4% solution or regular powder.

Zelenka, food coloring, gouache, acrylic paints - to make a cartoon character colored;
Any tank (with a volume of 0.5 liters), in which mix it all and a stirrer stick.

Recipe:

mix a quarter of the water with the same amount of glue, adding the dye of your choice, for example, brilliant green;

then prepare one tablespoon of borax;
gradually add borax to the previous ingredients, stirring constantly, as a result of which the liquid will gradually begin to become thick, you will get a viscous substance - slime.

Plasticine and gelatin

An easier way to make a slime with your own hands is with the help of improvised tools such as plasticine and gelatin. The toy will not last you long, but will create any shape that you give it. It is recommended for the youngest toy lovers as able to develop motor skills of small hands. Required Ingredients:

Plasticine of any color, approximately 100 g;
Two packs of edible gelatin, 25 g each;
Warm water, at least 50 ml;
Two containers: one metal for heating certain components, the second plastic for manufacturing;

Let's start the manufacturing process:

in a metal container, dissolve gelatin in cold water, leave to brew for an hour;
after the specified time, put the gelatin on the fire, bring to a boil with steam (heat in a water bath), remove from heat;
in a plastic container, mix plasticine with warm water, use a wooden stick for this;

after the gelatin has cooled, add this liquid to the plasticine, then mix thoroughly until a thick uniformity is obtained;
we send the resulting substance to the refrigerator until it hardens - the slime is ready.

From starch and soda

This type of making a cartoon character is easy to make, the ingredients for it will always be found at home, you don’t need to purposefully go after them, spend additional funds. However, the result of the resulting toy will not please you very much, because. its properties will not be the same as we would like: the slime will turn out to be hard, but there is a plus here: he knows how to jump well. Craft Ingredients:

Water at room temperature, about a glass;
Starch (100 grams), which can be replaced with soda and you get the same effect;
PVA glue, 100 gram jar.
Any dye: brilliant green, gouache, food coloring, acrylic paints.

add glue and mix thoroughly;
even when the consistency is liquid, while stirring, add the selected dye, for example, gouache;
in order for the slime to turn out to be close to a cartoon ghost, the part of the added water should be more in comparison with the part of the starch or soda.

From shampoo and gouache

Another way to make a sticky hero is with shampoo, a certain brand of super glue, and gouache. Why do you need to use a certain brand of glue, because only this type has the necessary properties that give the toy softness, the effect of sticking and spreading. So the main ingredients are:

30 g of shampoo of the desired color, which is only available (take an inexpensive one);
Gouache, any dye to give a multi-colored effect;
Gloves for accuracy of work;
A small package in which our ingredients will be mixed.

How to do:

mix glue and shampoo together in a bag;
proceed from the proportions of 3: 2 glue and shampoo, vary the amount of added ingredients as desired;
it is not at all necessary to adhere to proportions if you want to experiment and get the desired properties: add more shampoo - the toy will be more elastic, more glue - it will turn out denser;
in the course of mixing, add gouache to give the slime a shade, or to make the color more saturated;
if you used a transparent shampoo, then the finished slime will be translucent, and if the shampoo was white, then gouache will come in handy.
