How to make slime out of glue with your own hands: recipes and storage at home

Shampoo slime

For this recipe, it is necessary to purchase titanium glue in a building materials store, since it is its polymer composition that has the necessary elasticity, which will give the slime softness, plasticity, and allow it to spread and adhere to surfaces.

titanium glue 3 parts
shampoo (the color of the future toy depends on the color of the shampoo) 1 part
the components are well mixed until homogeneous in the bag and the toy is ready.

By creating a handgum according to this recipe, you can easily adjust its main indicators. Increasing the dose of shampoo gives it more elasticity, and glue - density and elasticity. You can also experiment with shampoo: a transparent shampoo will allow you to create a transparent toy, and a colored one - a colored one, it is better to add a dye of the desired color to white.

How to make hendgum from flour

Such a toy can be given to children under 3 years of age for the development of motor skills, but for this, natural dyes must be used.

300 grams of flour sifted through a sieve
pour cold water into the flour
pour hot water into the mixture
mix everything thoroughly, avoiding lumps
add the required dye
put the container with the workpiece in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours and the toy is ready.

How to make paper slime

Parents' fantasy knows no bounds when it comes to the child and his interests. Making a slime out of paper is a ridiculous idea, because a slime must be an elastic creature, and paper cannot provide this. But if you throw away all the frames, then you can create from anything, even from paper.

To do this, tear a sheet of A4 format into 3-4 parts lengthwise. Then fold the strips from each part, also along. Next, connect the strips to each other (you can use glue). Now we fold the strips, intertwining with each other. Roll the resulting composition into a circle and connect all the ends with glue or a stapler. Another way: just crush a softer sheet of paper and give it the shape of a ball.

The toy will not be elastic and will not bear much resemblance to the desired creature, it will not stick to the surface, stretch and shrink, but the process of making it will bring a lot of pleasure to the child.

Slime is not an unnecessary and useless thing, it primarily contributes to the development of fine motor skills in a child. Also, this substance does not allow the baby to be irritated and upset. Babies usually show no small interest in the abilities of the slime, they are fascinated by its ability to stretch and shrink, stick and peel off. And how many positive emotions do you get when you squeeze this substance in your fist and watch it pop out between your fingers, forming funny balls, without losing its integrity. And if such a toy is made with his own hand, then it also adds positive memories to everything. In addition, any needlework with parents helps the child develop imagination and love for everything beautiful and also appreciate work.

Method for making slime from flour

A slime, which contains flour, is considered quite safe for children. However, in any case, you need to watch the children's games, because even the safest composition can choke.

You can make a slime from flour like this:

sift 2 cups of flour through a sieve;
add ¼ part of ice water to the flour;
now pour ¼ part of the hot water into the container;
the mixture must be mixed well, allowing the flour to glue everything together so that there is not a single lump in it;
finally, pour in a little food coloring and stir the composition again;

Slime care rules

Handgums need to be washed regularly. In order for it to retain its elasticity, it must be properly stored. It is advisable to wash your hands before using the toy to avoid contaminating it.

How to store it correctly?

Slime can be stored in the refrigerator or in another cool place with a temperature of 2-4 degrees. It is put there overnight in plastic or any other container.

The shelf life of the slime is a week. After this time, you can make a new anti-stress toy. For a month, as indicated in many recipes, the slime will not last, the tetraborate will begin to fade, and the shampoo will lose its properties.

Children should wash their hands thoroughly after playing with a sticky ball. An allergy to the components of the mixture is possible in the form of a rash, itching, redness. In this case, you need to consult an allergist.

The mixture will quickly become thick, you can stir it with your hands.

If the mixture turns out to be too thick, then check the following points:

the expiration date of all components. If the substances have already lost their properties, then nothing will work. No matter how much you add thickeners;
proportions are incorrect. This problem is characterized by a lack of thickening agent, such as boric acid, sugar, starch, flour, depending on the recipe.
sequence of actions not followed

It is very important to do everything consistently. Often it may seem that the change of order is irrelevant, but this has a direct impact on the outcome;
each stage ends with mixing

Good distribution helps to grasp all the ingredients;
if the slime sticks off the dishes, but visually seems sticky, then you should try to knead it in your hands, previously greased with vegetable oil. This often saves the day.

How to make a slime?

To make a slime on your own, you need the simplest ingredients that can be found in every home. The most popular option is a slime made from PVA glue. Glue is taken as a basis, and other components can already be added to it. There are some simple recipes.

Only from water and PVA

The easiest way to make a toy is from glue and water. This will require the following ingredients:

PVA glue - 1-2 tbsp. l .;
water - 150 ml;
fine salt - 3 tsp;
food coloring (if the slime is colored);
a glass container of a suitable size.

Important! Use egg dye, cake dye, natural beetroot juice, or regular gouache.

PVA glue can be absolutely anything, but it is important that it is not stagnant. It is advisable to shake it well before use.

The manufacturing process consists of the following steps:

The water is heated to a hot state and poured into a prepared container. Then pour the salt and mix it thoroughly until it is completely dissolved.
Add the dye and mix the liquid again.
When the water has cooled, glue is added to the container. The resulting mixture is left for 20 minutes without stirring.
After 20 minutes, stir the mass with a tablespoon. This should be done slowly so that the glue begins to gradually take on the desired consistency.

When the stretching mass gathers around the spoon, the toy is ready and can be handled.

With added toothpaste and without water

The toothpaste option is no more complicated than the previous one. To implement it, you need to prepare only two components:

PVA glue;
gel toothpaste.

In a small container, you need to squeeze out half a tube of toothpaste, mix it.
Then add 1 tbsp. l. glue and mix the resulting mass again until a homogeneous consistency is formed. If the toy is not viscous enough, then the amount of glue can be increased. If it is required to make a slime of a larger size, then the number of components should be increased.
When the desired consistency is obtained, the mass must be placed in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

After a quarter of an hour, the slime will be ready for use.

Reference! Initially, the toy will emit a pronounced smell of toothpaste, but it will soon disappear. If desired, during preparation, you can add a few drops of perfume composition to the composition to give the toy a more pleasant aroma.

Toothpaste slime can be made without adding glue:

To do this, squeeze the toothpaste into a container and place it in a microwave oven for heating for 2-3 minutes. After that, the mass is mixed and again sent to the microwave. This step must be repeated three times.
When the toothpaste has cooled down, you need to pick it up, after applying any oil to the skin, and knead it well for three minutes.

The toy will then be ready for use.

Using soda

For the manufacture of slime, PVA glue and soda are well combined. The process consists of the following steps:

Soda (30 g) is dissolved in a container with heated water (1 glass).
Glue is poured into another container, food coloring or gouache is added to add color and the resulting mass is mixed.
The cooled soda solution is gradually poured into the glue mass. The mixture must be constantly stirred slowly until it thickens.
When the mixture reaches the desired consistency, the toy can be used.

To remove excess liquid, the slime can be removed from the container and put on a thick napkin. If you add sparkles to the composition, then the toy will turn out to be not only colored, but also flickering.

Using shampoo

A soft and well-stretching slime is obtained by mixing PVA glue and shampoo. In addition to these two ingredients, food coloring may be needed to give the toy your favorite color.

Mix the glue and shampoo in a 3: 1 ratio. Three parts of the glue are mixed with one part of the shampoo, and a little dye is added to add color. The total amount of shampoo and glue depends on the size of the toy.

The ingredients can be poured into a tight plastic bag and mixed thoroughly in it. The consistency of the slime should be uniform.

Pay attention! The color saturation can be controlled by the amount of dye used, and the firmness of the toy by the amount of glue added. The more glue, the more elastic the slime will turn out.

No glue

Components required for the preparation of slime:

thick shampoo;
shaving foam;
dye;
potato starch;
0.5 tsp glycerin;
contact lens fluid.

Shaving foam and shampoo are mixed in equal proportions.
Next, the dye of the desired color is dripped.
Pour glycerin into the mixture, after which the starch is in small portions, until the composition in the bowl looks like a soft sandy plasticine.
Add 10-12 drops of contact lens fluid to it. It will act as a thickener.

With soda

Due to the content of a detergent from the category of household chemicals, it is recommended to give a slime from baking soda to a small child only in the presence of adults.After playing with such a slime, it is imperative to wash your hands with soap so that the soda does not get on the mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth. Otherwise, severe irritation and chemical burns will occur.

Required Ingredients:

soda;
water;
glycerol;
dyes as desired.

Dishwashing liquid is poured into the container along with the dye. There is no exact dosage, the ingredients are gradually mixed. Detergent can be poured in while kneading.
Next, pour baking soda, glycerin into a container with a blank, mix everything thoroughly.
Water is added at the end so that the slime is not too dense. The resulting mass should look viscous, springy in your hands, like rubber.

With hydrogen peroxide

Attention! Hydrogen peroxide makes the slime bouncy, adds density when mixing. But because of the H2O2 bubbles, the toy is not heavy, but airy and light

To create a handgam, the following components are required:

250 ml of water;
100 g starch;
100 ml of PVA glue;
2 drops of dye;
hydrogen peroxide;
some glycerin to make the slime slippery.

The process of making a handgam is quite dynamic, so you need to prepare all the necessary ingredients in advance: plasticine (a strip from a standard set or 100 grams); food gelatin - 15–20 gr .; glass of water; container - glass or plastic for mixing all parts and metal for heating gelatin; spatula for mixing slime.
Gelatin must be poured with water in a metal bowl and allowed to swell for 1 hour.
Now you need to heat the swollen gelatin over low heat, without bringing it to a boil.
Knead the clay separately so that it becomes very soft and absorbs body heat.
In a plastic bowl, pour 50 ml of hot water over mashed plasticine and mix thoroughly with a spatula.

In conclusion, the slime must be put into the refrigerator and left in it for half an hour, after which you can play with it.

From polyvinyl alcohol

This recipe takes longer than the previous one. But due to the greater amount of PVA, the glue turns out to be thicker and more white. If you need a transparent product, after cooking it is cooled in air and left in a container under a lid for 2-3 days. When the air bubbles leave the mass, it will look like stationery or silicate glue.

How to do it yourself

Most of the water is poured into a metal pan, it needs to be slightly warmed up to a warm state.

Slime recipes with paper products

It's hard to believe that kids' favorite sticky slime can be made from toilet paper. However, many slimers have already put this idea into practice. But newspapers and cardboard are better to put aside: they do not dissolve well in water.

With the addition of dishwashing gel

To create a slime, it is advisable to use only the highest quality paper - soft and consisting of several layers. Paper products such as disposable towels or napkins will also work.

Grind several large pieces of toilet paper and fill them with two tablespoons of any dishwashing detergent.
Stir until smooth.
Add two pinches of baking soda and stir again thoroughly.
The liquid should become thick. Only after that a few drops of "Naphtizin" are added to it.
The last component is two to three tablespoons of the film mask. The cosmetic product is responsible for the consistency of the slime: the toy will keep its shape better. We mix everything until the composition stops sticking to the dishes.
To finally get rid of stickiness, knead the future toy with your hand.

With soap

The soap must be liquid, it must have a thick concentration.

Combine shredded paper with three tablespoons of soap. Stir until foamy homogeneous mass is formed.
If desired, it can be tinted with any food coloring.
We add a mask-film or PVA glue (50 g) and observe the result: if the mass is too liquid, we will cut more paper.
The next ingredient is a pinch of baking soda. We begin to actively shake up the composition.
The final touch is a few drops of Levomycetin. They act as a thickener.
Now the slime needs to be mixed. It will take a lot of time. This should be done until it stops sticking to dishes and hands.

With flour

Slime with flour stretches well, but has a short service life - only two to three days.

Pour shampoo into the crushed toilet paper and mix everything thoroughly.
We drip a little "Naphtizin" into the composition and leave for 20 minutes: soon the mass will become homogeneous and viscous.
We add a spoonful of flour and begin to knead our toy well: first with a spoon, and then with our hands.
The finished slime should lie in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

From shampoo

A slime made of toilet paper or napkins and shampoo will appeal to those who like to conduct unusual experiments.

Pour four tablespoons of shampoo into a bowl. We also send shredded toilet paper there.
Knead the mass thoroughly. This should be done for at least five minutes.
We are waiting for another 10 minutes: during this time, the paper will completely dissolve in the liquid.
Put 30 g of starch and mix again. The composition should finally curl up.
At the final stage of making, the slime is kneaded by hand.

Reference! Shampoo can be replaced with shower gel if desired.

With shaving foam

This interesting slime is stored only in the refrigerator - in the heat it will instantly deteriorate.

Tear a layer of toilet paper into small pieces and fill it with a glass of water.
Stir quickly and add half the tube of the film mask. The cosmetic product must have a transparent color.
If you wish, you can "revive" the future toy by putting a third of a teaspoon of dry dye into the mass.
The last component is a few long puffs of shaving foam.
Mix everything well and put in a thickener: washing gel like "Persila" or liquid for contact lenses. Now the slime will stretch well.
Knead the slime with your hands; remove excess moisture with a napkin.

With glue

You can take different glue for slime: stationery, PVA or silicate. The selected product must necessarily interact with sodium tetraborate.

We immediately mix five tablespoons of the selected glue with the dye: this will make the color of the toy more uniform.
We add shredded toilet paper or disposable napkins.
We introduce five drops of sodium tetraborate. It can be purchased at the pharmacy. The tool acts as an activator.
We mix the mass with a wooden spatula: it should not curl up and stick to the dishes.
We continue kneading with our hands.

With water

The main thing in this recipe is the use of warm water. And shower gel can be replaced with liquid soap.

Mix about three tablespoons of water with the same amount of the chosen hygiene product.
We also send small pieces of toilet paper there.
We mix everything thoroughly for five minutes.
We are waiting for the complete dissolution of the paper and dip a handful of dry starch into the mass. It is best to take corn.
The composition should curl up. If it doesn't, add more starch.
Knead the finished slime with your hands.

Reference! To give the slime a pleasant color, you can use not only food colors, but also vegetable juices, as well as brilliant green.

Benefits of a flour thickener for slime

All slimes are made according to the same principle. They always contain a liquid component:

glue;
shampoo;
liquid detergent, etc.

They are supplemented with thickeners that transform the liquid mass into elastic.

In the process of making slime, flour is very dusty, so it should be used with caution by people with asthma or allergies. Flour is one of the most environmentally friendly slime thickeners:

Flour is one of the most environmentally friendly slime thickeners:

It is absolutely safe for health and does not cause allergies.
You can find such a thickener in any kitchen, and if you don't have enough flour, you can buy it cheaply at a regular grocery store.
If the slime doesn't work out, you can always fix it by adding a little liquid or thickener.

The finished flour slime turns out to be very soft, but it does not stretch well enough. However, if there is no other thickener on hand, this option is fine.

Making a slime out of water

It is quite easy to make a slime "like in a store"; for this you need PVA glue (office), water and a little time.

Water slime technology:

pour 50 ml of lukewarm clean water and 100 gr into a glass bowl

PVA glue (it is important that its shelf life is not expired);
the mixture must be thoroughly stirred, if it turns out to be liquidish, you need to add a certain amount of glue;
now you need to pour into this composition 1 bottle of sodium tetraborate (solution in 4%);
if borax is purchased, which is in a powdery state, it must be diluted with water (in a proportion of 1 tbsp. l

0.5 cups of water);
it is important to monitor the amount of borax and not to exceed its amount, otherwise the slime will be too hard and less plastic;
in conclusion, any dye must be added to the composition, it can be either food grade or an ordinary solution of brilliant green.

At the end of the process of creating a slime, you need to put it in a plastic bag and knead it thoroughly.

Important! After playing with such a handgam, be sure to wash your hands.

How to care for a slime

In order for the created toy to serve for a long time, you need to figure out how to care for it.

How to wash slime

It's no secret that the slime is very sticky, and because of this, it gets dirty and covered with dust rather quickly. Therefore, it is recommended to periodically clean it from the accumulated dirt. There are several guidelines to read before cleaning such a sticky toy:

The slime must be washed in cold water, the temperature of which does not exceed 20 degrees. After washing it is placed in a closed container and placed in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes.
When cleaning a small slime, use a regular syringe

The slime is carefully removed into the syringe, after which all large debris will remain on the tip of the syringe.

Slime storage tips

Some children do not store toys correctly, which can quickly deteriorate them. Therefore, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the features of storing slime in advance. It must be kept in securely closed containers, into which dust does not penetrate. In the summer, it is left in the refrigerator, as the summer heat can make the slime more liquid. Also, it cannot be stored for a long time in rooms with high humidity.
