How to make a slime

Slime from PVA and toothpaste

Making a toy from toothpaste is the most common method as it is harmless. At the same time, the slime has a pleasant texture and aroma.

Unfortunately, there are no exact ideal proportions, since much depends on the composition of the components.

For cooking you need:

1. Stir toothpaste in a bowl. Better to start with half a tube.
2. Then add PVA, but little by little, so that the mass becomes homogeneous.
3. Knead with your hands until it starts to come off your hands and stretch.
4. Fold in a bag and send to the refrigerator for an hour.
5. Stir again and you can play.

Not everyone succeeds in this type of slime the first time. But having chosen the required dosage, you can enjoy the result. Also, experienced craftsmen recommend adhering to the following rules when choosing a paste:

• a helium consistency is preferable, since it is initially denser and holds its shape better;
• the presence of excess additives dilutes the ingredient, and it sets worse;
• in the proportion of the tooth gel, there should be more, somewhere 2/3 of the total volume;
• you should not worry about a pronounced smell, as it quickly disappears, leaving a pleasant unobtrusive aroma;
• when cold, a properly prepared toy resembles softened plasticine, but in a warm state it is a more jelly-like mass.

How to make

Lizuna can be made with your own hands from the simplest materials

But it is important to observe the correct consistency, carefully monitor the amount of ingredients.

With sunflower oil

For cooking, you need a container with very cold water (100 milliliters). Lacquer is sprayed onto the water until a viscous state appears. After that, about 20 milliliters of refined sunflower oil is added. The mixture is thoroughly mixed until thickened.

With glue and sodium tetraborate

In order to get a dense and non-sticky slime, you will need:

• hair spray 200 ml;
• PVA glue 100 ml;
• sodium tetraborate - one pack.

Spray hairspray from the bottle into a clean and transparent container. PVA glue is slowly added in a trickle, while the composition must be thoroughly mixed, preventing the appearance of lumps. The last ingredient is added after the composition is converted into a homogeneous mass. The slime is left for several hours. After that, you need to feed him in a standard way.

Home Making Precautions

Before starting the creative process, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the precautions, especially if small children are taking part in it:

• It is not recommended to let preschoolers mix all the ingredients while cooking and touch the toy with their hands.Children of this age should remain spectators of the creative process.
• It is best to cook slime indoors with an open window or good ventilation. When using a large amount of chemicals, a person can get a headache, so you need to make sure that all vapors go out into the street.
• It is necessary to carefully use PVA glue. By itself, it is not considered dangerous. But if the glue accidentally gets on the face or eyes, then the person will need to go to the hospital.
• If you plan to make a lot of slimes or one huge one, then you need to open all the windows in the house. Large amounts of chemical particles from the glue trapped in the air can lead to poisoning. If you plan to make a toy for children, then it is better to abandon the use of silicate or construction glue.
• When working, it is advisable to wear gloves, especially if the person has sensitive and dry skin.

Note! It is worth remembering that you need to play with natural slime no more than 3-4 days. Further, it is worth getting rid of it, since a large number of bacteria will accumulate on the toy, which can harm the body.

The process of making a gooey toy

PVA-based starch slime

For this soft stretching handgum, certain rules must be followed:

take fresh glue and better white, thick

Freshness is an important condition, since after long-term storage the liquid can stratify, which is not important for direct use, but it is decisive for creating a stretching mass;
starch should be found in a household chemicals store on the powder shelf. A liquid concentrate is required, which is used for washing clothes

If you can't find it, you can cook it yourself from 1 part starch and 2 parts water;
choose a dense bag for mixing, as it will wrinkle well and preferably with a zip-fastener.

If everything is ready, then we proceed:

1. Pour 70 ml of starch and 2-3 drops of dye into the bag. You can start with 1 drop, because if you overdo it, the mucus will paint your hands.
2. Spread the glue well and measure 25 ml into a bag.
3. Close zip closure or tie tightly. Knead the mixture thoroughly until it thickens.
4. In this case, a small amount of liquid will go away, which must be drained, and the slime is dried on a paper towel.

Store in a tightly closed container for a week. Be sure to wash your hands after playing.

Tips & Tricks

Often the slime does not turn out the way you want to see it. It either sticks to your hands, or is very liquid, or turns into a piece of plasticine, which is difficult to wrinkle in your hands. To prevent this from happening and the antistress to be of optimal form, it is necessary to correctly follow the order of immersion of the ingredients. The proportions may differ slightly depending on the quality of the products (one glue is thicker, etc.). You should be guided by logic, sometimes you have to add more volume

It is worth paying attention to the tips:

• if the slime is too liquid and refuses to keep its shape, then you need to put the bowl with it on low heat and evaporate the excess liquid;
• if the product does not stretch, but simply breaks, then it is worth adding more glue and carefully crushing the mass with your hands;
• if the slime is hard like a stone, then you need to add a couple of drops of water and send it in a glass jar to a dark room - it will soften after absorbing moisture.

The product takes on extraneous odors, so the problem of cleaning it is always relevant. You can just hold the slime under running water for a couple of minutes, but this does not guarantee complete elimination of the unpleasant odor. It is better to cover it with soda for a couple of hours and send it to rest in a dark room. After rinsing and drying, treat with aromatic tea tree oil. The toy does not accept hot temperatures, therefore it is prohibited to dry it with a hairdryer. They also do not use deodorants or perfumes - they will temporarily mask the aromas, but will not completely remove them.

Basic recipes

There are only 3 recipes with varnish on the Internet: with sunflower oil, silicate and PVA glue.

With sunflower oil

This is a recipe based on just two ingredients:

• sunflower (olive) oil;
• nail polish.

Manufacturing is extremely simple, as they say, "by eye". We take small dishes. It can be anything - porcelain, plastic, metal.

Next, pour a little oil into a bowl, about 3 tablespoons. Then we add varnish. It must be fresh, liquid, otherwise a significant amount will remain in the bottle. We begin to mix the mass. Very quickly, the nail polish thickens, knocks into sticky lumps on a spoon / stick. It remains to see the result:

1. Advantages:

• turned out a small lump weighing about 5 grams;
• the mass first stretches, then breaks.

1. Disadvantages:

• sharp unpleasant odor;
• the substance leaves greasy marks on the fingers from oil and colored from varnish.

With silicate glue

We prepare dishes, a spoon.

Ingredients:

• silicate glue (sold in the stationery department);
• nail polish;
• sodium tetraborate solution (borax, borax, purchased at the pharmacy).

Pour the bottle of glue into a bowl. The bottle, as a rule, is made of plastic, therefore, when the composition is squeezed into the container, it is filled with air bubbles. Using a spoon, the amount of gaseous substance is reduced.

Next, varnish is added. Its amount can be different: the more ingredient is poured in, the richer the color. The mass is thoroughly mixed until it is evenly colored. Then sodium tetraborate is used as a thickener. To begin with, you can add it in the amount of 1 teaspoon. If during the mixing process the mass has not compacted to the desired state, you can apply some more.

1. Advantages:

• it turned out to be a dense slime;
• stretches elastically;
• retains its shape;
• bounces off the surface when thrown, like a ball.

1. Disadvantages:

sharp, unpleasant odor.

With PVA glue

Ingredients:

• PVA glue;
• varnish;
• warm water;
• sodium tetraborate.

To begin with, glue and varnish are mixed until smooth. The sequence in which these components are added is not important. You can add the 1st to the 2nd, or vice versa. Then warm water is poured in in a volume equal to the volume of PVA. Stir vigorously again.

Now comes the crucial moment - adding a thickener. The first serving is 1 teaspoon, the next one if necessary. The result is a hand-gum slime. It can be infused with shaving foam. The disadvantage is the same - an unpleasant smell.

What to do if the slime does not work

There are times when self-preparation of slime does not give the desired result.

It is important to understand that the following factors influence the final result:

• The quality of the materials used;
• Compliance with proportions;
• Step by step actions.

If the slime has turned out, then its mass will be homogeneous, uniform and easily accessible from the container.

If the slime is not homogeneous, then it is possible to save it by continuing to actively knead it until it acquires the necessary ductility and uniformity.

If the slime is very sticky and stretches after the spoon like cobweb threads, then you can try adding a little liquid starch or water, depending on the recipe. This will liquefy the consistency.

But if there is viscosity, but the slime simply slides off the hands without sticking to them, then it means there is an excess liquid content in it. In order to get rid of it, it is necessary to drain these surpluses, but you can add the necessary binder according to the recipe (glue, boron solution, flour). Mix everything again well.
