How to make slime fluffy: 15 best homemade recipes, mistakes and tips

What is Fluffy Slime

Fluffy is a kind of slime slime that has come down to us from the 90s - a lump of substance that, when thrown, spreads over the surface. The toy got its name due to its resemblance to the hero of the animated series "Ghostbusters". It is sold in children's stores and, if you follow the rules, does not harm your health. Children are delighted with the unique properties of the jelly-like mass, while for adults, slime is more suitable for relieving stress. You can throw, tear or pull the slime - it all depends on the features of its texture.

The predecessors of Fluffy Slime were invented and manufactured by the US company Mattel in 1976. The recipe included a large amount of guar gum - it was she who made the jelly elastic. The green slime came in a small plastic jar. In Russia, the slime gained popularity only after 20 years. In schools, it was forbidden to play with him: noticeable marks remained on woodwork, ceilings and walls.

To understand what Fluffy Slime is, it is enough to imagine a voluminous ball of yarn. Having touched the surface, this slime becomes flat and after a moment it takes on a magnificent shape again.

Storage and care

If you do not monitor the condition of the slime, it will decrease in size. To prolong its life, it is better to choose an airtight container with a lid. You can buy the container at the supermarket or find it among homemade cosmetic jars and sealed ziplock bags. The main condition: no air should penetrate inside, otherwise the toy will dry out quickly. The optimum storage temperature for Fluffy Slime is 3-10 ° C. The place should be protected from sunlight, with normal air (not dry or too humid).

Fluffy slime during use absorbs dirt, dust, sand, lint, wool, etc. To make the toy clean, you need to prepare a bowl or basin, fill the container with water and place the Velcro in it. After three minutes, the foreign elements should fall off. Running water (sink, bath) is contraindicated here, because can easily damage the product. Large debris can be removed without using water: with a needle or tweezers, and stains by wiping the surface with a cloth and alcohol.

There are several signs that the quality of the slime is deteriorating.

• Wateriness. Neutralized with grains of salt placed in a container. Shake the container lightly - the salt will absorb excess moisture. Then the crystals should be removed. After that, the slime is not used for 1-2 days.
• Density. Intense play may cause the slimes to harden. Sprinkle with a few drops of water and leave in storage for 4 hours.
• Stickiness. Occurs due to humidity or high temperature. Add a couple of drops of thickener and place the Velcro in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
• Inelasticity. Fluffy slime may tear when stretched due to drying out or prolonged use. Glycerin / hand cream will help to restore the initial state.
