How to make slime

How to choose the right cream?

The market offers a wide range of hand creams. These cosmetics differ in composition and consistency. Creams may contain:

• vegetable and animal fats;
• glycerol;
• essential oils;
• silicones;
• petroleum jelly and other components.

Each of these ingredients can have a certain effect on the consistency of the future slime. However, despite the above, you should choose a cream, guided by the following rules:

• purchase a product with a thick consistency;
• do not buy creams with an expired shelf life (because of this, allergic reactions occur when in contact with slime);
• do not buy a product that contains ingredients that cause an allergic reaction.

For the manufacture of a slime, inexpensive creams that meet the above requirements are suitable.

Security measures

A safe toy can sometimes do harm. Don't ignore safety rules.

First of all, it should be noted that all actions must be done in a well-ventilated place. PVA glue is often used as a base for a toy. By itself, this is a non-toxic compound that does not pose any particular danger. But if he gets into the eyes, then in special cases you will even have to contact an ophthalmologist, since the usual rinsing with water will be ineffective.

PVA particles that accumulate in the air can also be harmful. If you stay in such a room for a long time, then intoxication is inevitable, so it is best to ventilate the room.

It is also worth remembering that rubber, construction or silicone glue is not the best choice when creating a toy.

The next recommendation is to wear gloves. The advice is relevant especially in those cases when you are making a toy for the first time. At first, you still do not know what proportions you need to observe in order to get a beautiful and fluffy slime. As a result, you can damage the delicate skin of the hands due to the effect of an excessive amount of an aggressive component.

If you are a supporter of "natural" slimes, which include gelatin, starch or cellulose, then remember that the shelf life should not exceed several days. It is imperative to place such a toy in the refrigerator, since natural ingredients are a breeding ground for bacteria.

Noticed mold, an unpleasant odor, or an alarming plaque on the slime? It's time to throw it away.

Why doesn't it crunch and what needs to be done?

Don't worry if things didn't work out exactly as planned the first time around. The main thing is to understand your mistakes in order to avoid them in the future.

• If the product is not thick enough, chances are you put in little thickener. Add a little more and check if the slime is crunching now. If there is a positive trend, you have found the reason. Add the thickener until the mixture is the consistency you want.
• The opposite situation may arise: the slime is very tight. You can save it with the help of the liquid ingredients included in the recipe. Just don't add a lot at once! Do everything gradually and see how the situation changes.
• In some cases, it is easier to create a slime from scratch than trying to salvage the previous one. Ask for help from someone close and do not give up. Sooner or later, you will definitely succeed.

From glue stick

Making crunch slime using this recipe is easy, but the process of making it will require caution, since you have to deal with a hot mass.

1. Pour the contents of 1 tube of glue stick (36 g) into 80 ml of water and put the container in the microwave for half a minute.
2. Touch up the mass without waiting for it to cool down.
3. Use sodium tetraborate solution as a thickener. Add it 2-3 drops, stirring thoroughly each time.
4. When the slime grabs, knead with your hands until tender.
5. Scatter foam balls on a flat surface, roll the dough in them and mash well.

Tips for making this fun at home

Novice makers get upset when the slime does not crunch and do not know what to do with it. One of the following errors can be the cause:

• insufficient thickness (small percentage of thickener) - just add a little more component and check for crunch;
• excessive tightness - additionally introduce a liquid component from the general list in a small amount, increasing the dose each time;
• the technology is broken - here it is better to create the slime again, from scratch.

Here are some more tips and tricks:

1. Storage. To prolong the “life” of the finished slime, it is better to store it in an airtight container after each game. The container must be clean, free of foreign odors and impurities.
2. Painting. It is not recommended to use a lot of dye. Otherwise, during the game, the child will get dirty, accidentally ruin the interior items.
3. Security. Follow the play of babies with slimes. The product contains a lot of chemicals, so it is best not to allow it to be swallowed.
4. Uniqueness. To make the slime attract a child, you should add sparkles, beads, beads, any other beautiful elements to it. But do not forget about the safety of the baby.
5. Technology. If the toy is slightly viscous and sticks, it is best to knead it with damp hands.
