How to make a slime at home?
To make mountain slime, you will need a fairly large number of different ingredients. It, in fact, consists of two separate slimes of different types.
Ingredients and their proportions in the recipe
Mountain slime will be made of two parts - dyed (you can use any dye color) and white. Also, the bottom part can consist of several separate colors. For a white slime, you will need the following ingredients:
PVA glue - 50 ml. This is one of the most important ingredients in almost any slime. The glue helps to quickly obtain the required slime consistency, especially when sodium tetraborate is used as an activator
It is imperative to pay attention to the production date of the glue. It should be recently released
If you take an expired PVA, the required consistency will not be.
Water - 50 ml. Its temperature should be 22-28 degrees.
Sodium or boron tetraborate - 2 drops. If not available, you can use regular salt, dishwashing detergent, baking soda, or potato starch. In this case, the thickener is added little by little until the desired consistency is obtained.
For the colored part of the slime, you need to prepare the following ingredients:
- Water - 150 ml.
- Stationery glue - 200 ml.
- Sodium tetraborate - 4-6 drops or a dishwashing detergent substitute.
- Dye. The amount of dye depends on the desired result. The more it is, the richer the color will be. You can use water-based paint or food coloring.
In addition to all of the above, you will need containers for preparing mountain slime, as well as a plastic container for its further storage.
Important! The dishes in which the slime will be made are undesirable to use for cooking.
Step-by-step manufacturing process
Now you can proceed directly to the manufacture of slime. You should start from the bottom.
Step by step process:
- Silicate glue is poured into a deep container and water is added to it, which should be at room temperature. Mix everything well.
- Add the color and mix again until a uniform color is obtained.
- Potassium tetraborate must be dissolved in a small amount of water, then gradually pour into the mixture, constantly stirring the mass.
It is necessary that the mass is thick, elastic and does not stick to the hands and walls of the container. If you want to make a multi-colored bottom part of the slime, then it is prepared in several containers (depending on the number of colors), and then everything is shifted into one.
- The top white part is easier to make. PVA glue is poured into a bowl. A sodium tetraborate solution is gradually added to it until the required consistency is obtained. The mixture is constantly stirred.
- After that, both parts are placed in a plastic container or glass jar.
- First place a colored slime, then a white one. It is necessary to make the slime evenly spread over the container.
- The container must be tightly closed and left for 24 hours. The upper part will begin to flow down smoothly, making the slime look like a snow-covered slide.
- If desired, the toy is additionally decorated. For this, you can use glitter or decorative powder.
With cleansing gel
Due to the soap gel and more PVA glue, the white base of the slime turns out to be more voluminous. When the toy is ready, the colored part will not clearly show through the denser top layer. And immediately after opening the container, the slime looks like mountain peaks covered with snow.
Ingredients for Alpine Slime
- 100 ml PVA glue,
- 60 ml of stationery glue,
- 1 tbsp. l. gel for washing,
- 1 tsp water,
- 1 drop of paint in two colors,
- a few drops of sodium tetraborate.
How to cook with your own hands
- In the container, you need to combine PVA glue and water.
- Immediately add a cleansing gel to them.
- After combining the components, the mass is thickened with sodium tetraborate and kneaded with a spatula.
- Stationery glue is poured into the second container and an activator is added.
- Stir the liquid with a spatula until it stabilizes.
- This base is divided into parts and for each one uses its own pigment.
- The painted parts are sent to the container, they must lie tightly and side by side.
- The white part of the slime is placed on top of them.
- The dishes with slime are closed and stored in this way for at least 12 hours.

The mountain slime looks unusual before the first game with it. After kneading it, the colors and textures are mixed, but the slime retains its elasticity and softness, it can be “clicked”, rolled up with a “rose”. And the toy is prepared quite simply, albeit for a long time, does not require special components, complex actions.

With Persil
The recipe gives the number of components for one slime. That is, in the manufacture of three multi-colored, which are then mixed, you need 3 times more ingredients. Any dye can be used (watercolor, gouache, etc.).
How to make a galaxy slime with your own hands
- The first component to use is glue.
- Paint and glitter are immediately added to it, shaken to distribute them evenly in the liquid.
- Then Persil is poured in.
- The mass should be actively kneaded with a spoon.
- When it curls up, knead it with your fingers.
- Slimes of other colors are made in the same way, taking the specified amount of ingredients.
- The three resulting slimes must be connected.
No glue
A transparent mask is suitable here, but then you need more sparkles or also a dye. You can do without Teymurov's spray at all by adding washing gel in excess of the specified volume. The last component does not have to be Weasel, Persil, Perwoll are also suitable.
Making Galaxy at home
- A film mask is sent to the bowl first.
- The next immediately comes the activator, that is, the gel for washing.
- At this stage, you can pour glitter into the liquid.
- And then the composition is kneaded until stabilization.
- If it seems watery, you can add Teymurov's spray.
- Now the mass is crumpled with hands, like dough.
What is Mountain Slime?
Mountain slime is a special type of slime where two or more layers alternate, creating the effect of mountain peaks.
The top layer is usually white, which imitates snow. You will need an opaque slime for it. But the bottom layer should be transparent. Then beautiful transitions from one slime to another will be visible.
Some recipes suggest making two or three shades.
But it is important that they match in color with each other. For example, pink and blue, yellow and red, yellow and blue look beautiful.
Keep in mind that during the game, the layers will mix and the combination of inappropriate colors will lead to the fact that the slime will have an unattractive shade.
If you don't know how to make a white and transparent slime at home, follow our tips. The softer and more viscous the toy is, the more beautiful and smooth the transitions between layers will be.
How to make a mountain slime with your own hands?
If you do not know the recipe for how to make mountain slime, first of all, stock up on the necessary ingredients. You will need: stationery glue and PVA, activator, water and dye. The manufacturing process is not difficult. Let's consider the procedure step by step.
Transparent layer
Transparent slime is prepared from colorless stationery or silicate glue. You can buy it at any office supply or building supplies store.But keep in mind that some brands are not suitable for making slimes. If the glue is too liquid, then it will not fold when interacting with the activator. Pick up a moderately thick product.
Procedure for making a transparent layer for mountain slime:
- We take a deep plastic container and pour transparent glue on the bottom.
- Add some water and mix thoroughly.
- If desired, add a dye of the desired shade.
- Add a thickener, for example, sodium tetraborate, drop by drop into the mixture and knead the mass well until it starts to stick off the walls of the dishes.
- We continue to knead the slime in our hands.
The finished transparent slime usually contains a lot of small air bubbles. To get rid of them, you can leave the toy for several days in a closed container. But since you know what a mountain slime is, you understand that it is not necessary for him to do this.
White layer
After the transparent handgam is ready, we proceed to making the white one.
How to make a white layer for mountain slime:
- Pour PVA glue into a deep dish.
- Add some lotion or body milk to the glue. This is necessary so that the finished slime is soft and viscous.
- Into the thoroughly mixed mixture, add the activator drop by drop.
- When the mass thickens, take it out of the plate and knead it well with your hands.
There is no need to add dye to this mass, it will be white "snow" on the top of the mountain.
How to blend slime layers correctly?
Before you make a mountain slime from a white and transparent layer, you need to prepare a special container in which you will mix them. A small jar with a tight-fitting screw cap will work.
Put the transparent slime first on the bottom. It should take up most of the jar - about 3/4. Lay a white layer on top of the transparent slime so as to completely cover the colored transparent layer. Distribute the layers evenly over the jar.
Close the jar tightly with a lid and leave the slime alone for a few days. The thicker and denser the slimes are, the longer it will take for them to seep into each other.
If you look at the pictures of mountain slime, you will notice that the upper white layer only slightly penetrates the lower transparent one and does not move completely down.
What is it, what does it look like?
Mountain slime is like a landscape with hills covered with snow. The toy has two bases and at least two colors.
One of them is light or completely white. The upper part of the slime crawls unevenly onto the lower layer, and it also sticks out a little through the upper one. The colors gradually transition from one to the other, which looks attractive and rather unusual.
This effect is achieved due to the different consistencies of the two bases. A denser layer is made from PVA glue. The flowable mass is made from silicate or clerical glue with the addition of the required dye. It also usually contains a thickener and water. To make the toy softer to the touch, additional ingredients are also used, for example, glycerin. The complete manufacturing process takes 1–2 days.
With soda solution
A solution of soda for this toy is prepared from 100 ml of warm water and 1 tsp. powder. Shake it before adding it to the glue.
What to make Galaxy Slime from
- 16 Art. l. transparent glue,
- 2-3 drops of paint with sparkles of three colors,
- 1.5 tsp lens fluids,
- 3 tsp baking soda solution.
How to cook with your own hands
- The glue must be poured equally into three containers.
- Paint is put in each of them and stirred.
- Lens fluid is added to the glue.
- And immediately a soda solution is poured into each dish with the main ingredient.
- Now all three liquids need to be kneaded with a stick until they thicken.
- The colored segments are mixed into one.

With soda and Levomycetin
Both bases of mountain slime have to be kneaded for a long time, since the activator used in the recipe does not work immediately. It can be replaced with another thickener. But it is soda with Levomycetin that allows you to achieve a delicate flowing texture of the base and beautiful transitions from one color to another.
What to make mountain slime
- 1-2 tbsp. l. water,
- 65 ml + 2 tbsp. l. stationery glue,
- 3 tbsp. l. PVA glue,
- 2 pinches of baking soda
- 1-2 tsp drops of Levomycetin,
- 0.5 tsp glycerin,
- 1 tsp nourishing cream,
- 1 drop of paints of different colors.
Cooking method
- Pour water and most of the office glue into a bowl.
- Pour half of the soda into the components and slowly stir the liquid.
- Levomycetin is added to the transparent base.
- Next, you need to stir the mass before curdling.
- For the elasticity of the slime, glycerin is added to this base.
- Now it is stirred with hands until cooked and left alone for a while.
- In another dish, PVA glue and the remaining stationery are connected, helping with a spoon.
- The cream is added to the liquid, and the mixture is still mixed.
- Pour the second half of the baking soda.
- After its dissolution, Levomycetin is poured in.
- The second workpiece is kneaded with a spatula and fingers until the stickiness is removed.
- The first base is divided into pieces, painted with different pigments.
- First, the colored parts of the slime are placed in a container with a lid.
- Place a white slime on top and cover the dishes for 1 day.
Storage and use at home
Such a slime has its pros and cons: a beautiful appearance, pleasant to the touch while playing, does not stick to clothes, but its service life is slightly less than that of others. After several applications, it will no longer be the desired shape, the colors will blend completely and will not resemble mountains. If the slime breaks, then it will be impossible to restore its previous appearance, therefore, such things most often simply lie in the container and delight the eye.
In creating a slime, a child will need the help of an adult, but even in this case, the first time it may not work. The toy will interest not only a child, but also an adult.
Like any other slime, mountain slime must be stored in the right conditions: it should not be in the sun or frost. With prolonged use, the slime will lose its shape. Antistress should not be left on carpet, couch or clothing as it will it can leave traces. Once a week, the slime must be soaked in water or a pinch of salt added to it.
With proper care, you can enjoy the game for several weeks. If the slime loses shape early or is too stiff, you can add a little shaving foam to soften the anti-stress toy. If mold, a strange odor and fungus appear, the slime should be thrown away.
After playing with slime, you need to wash your hands: due to its composition, allergies or poisoning may occur.

- The next step is to use an activator.
- Now the mass is kneaded with a spoon, adding another tetraborate solution if necessary.
- When it curls up, a water-soda mixture is poured into it.
- The composition is stirred well again.
- The slime is left in an open container for several hours, after which it is removed from the resulting liquid.
Recipe
Let's proceed directly to the process of preparing our mountain slime. Let's start at the bottom. Take a deep bowl and pour a few bubbles of silicate glue into it. Add about 140-150 milliliters of room temperature water. If desired, we can add dye or water-based paints. We add gradually, stirring constantly, achieving uniformity and the shade we need. Then we add a solution of sodium tetraborate to our composition, actively stirring the mass. Our task is to achieve density so that the slime becomes dense and elastic and does not stick to the sides of the bowl.
Now let's start creating the top white part of our future mountain slime. We make it like a regular classic slime. Pour PVA glue into a plate. While stirring, gradually add sodium tetraborate diluted in water. We achieve a thick slime consistency.
When both parts are ready, take a transparent plastic container or glass jar and place the lower part of our slime in it. We ensure that the substance spreads evenly over the container. Then we put on top of it a second, white slime made of PVA glue. We leave the resulting slime for a day in a closed container. The upper part will gradually flow down, mixing with the lower, and the slime will look like a snow slide.
