[Craft] Easy at Home! A Collection of Homemade Slime Recipes (1–10)
Hand soap slime
This is a super stretchy, ultra-chewy slime made by adding foaming hand soap! Mix 200 ml of laundry glue with 2 tablespoons of white craft glue until well combined.
Add about 20 pumps of foaming hand soap and mix, then add a few drops of ink if you like.
Once you’ve got the color you want, gradually add borax water—made by dissolving 1 teaspoon of borax in 300 ml of lukewarm water—kneading as you go.
Knead by squeezing and stretching until it reaches your preferred firmness, and your hand soap slime is ready! Try adding modeling clay for a different texture.
Yogurt Slime
You can make slime with yogurt and potato starch! You really only need these two ingredients.
Mix 10 g of potato starch into 100 g of yogurt until well combined.
Once it’s thoroughly mixed, heat it in a 600W microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, then stir until there are no lumps—and it’s done! Since it’s made with yogurt and potato starch and heated, it’s of course edible.
Heating reduces the tartness, making it easier to eat, so you can enjoy it like mochi by topping it with fruit sauce or similar.
Crunchy Slime
This is a crunchy slime made using a melamine sponge.
Mix water and liquid laundry glue (PVA school glue) in a 1:1 ratio, then add borax solution (borax dissolved in hot water) and stir to make the basic slime.
After coloring the slime with paint, spread a layer of slime on the bottom of a container, place the melamine sponge on top, and pour the remaining slime over it so it soaks into the sponge.
Then just let it sit until the slime fully penetrates the sponge! Remove any excess slime around the sponge and it’s done.
Enjoy the crunchy texture by slicing it with a knife or squeezing the cut sponge pieces.
Simple Slime
Slime you can easily make without touching it by hand! Combine 500 cc each of water and liquid laundry glue, and gently stir with a disposable chopstick so you don’t create bubbles.
Dissolve 4 g of borax thoroughly in 50 cc of hot water, then add this solution to the first mixture and just keep stirring with the chopstick! You’ll end up with slime you can stretch and knead to play with.
If you mix liquid laundry glue into water colored with paint or food coloring, you can make colored slime too.
For children who don’t like touching it with their hands, put the slime in a plastic bag so they can enjoy the squishy feel from outside the bag!
Butter Slime
A slime so buttery you’ll want to spread it on bread without thinking! Mix glue with water thoroughly, then add yellow paint and mix again until it looks close to butter.
Next, add shaving foam—something you don’t often see in crafts! After mixing well, add a solution of borax dissolved in warm water and stir.
Finally, knead in some polymer clay, and you’ll have fluffy, stretchy, and satisfyingly strange butter slime.
It looks so delicious that you should take extra care to prevent small children from putting it in their mouths!
Sweets Slime
Recreating baking with slime! These are ultra-realistic dessert slimes.
Mix a slime “egg” made from laundry glue as the egg white and slime as the yolk.
Knead in paper-clay “butter,” add laundry-glue “honey” and baby-powder “flour.” Then mix in chocolate chips made from pieces of anti-slip sheet and some cocoa powder, add shaving foam and baby powder, transfer to cup molds, and let them sit for about two days to dry the surface.
You’ll have muffin-style slime that looks softly baked!
Grainy Slime
It’s a crunchy, grainy slime with an intriguingly bumpy texture! All you need are gel (available at 100-yen shops) and decorative color stones.
You can also use homemade slime made with water, laundry starch, or borax solution.
Once you’ve got the materials, just mix them together.
The result is a brand-new tactile slime—grainy, rugged, and delightfully crunchy.
If you want to enjoy more resistance when you squeeze it, we recommend using a firmer slime.
Though its clustered appearance might give trypophobes the chills, if you’re curious about the feel, give it a try!
Clear slime
Let’s try making super clear slime at home! Put some liquid laundry starch (PVA glue) into a glass container and mix while adding borax solution little by little.
To get highly transparent slime, the key is to use a saturated borax solution.
You can make it by dissolving borax in ten times its weight of water.
Once well mixed, heat it in a microwave, then cover and let it rest when it reaches the desired firmness.
Wipe off any droplets on the lid and the sides of the container and wait for the bubbles to dissipate—about two weeks.
You’ll have clear, bouncy slime!
Super Basic Slime
With this method, you can’t go wrong—it’s a super basic way to make it perfectly! Thoroughly dissolve 5 g of borax in 300 ml of hot water and pour it into a bottle.
Put the amount of liquid laundry glue (PVA glue) you need for the amount of slime you want into a bowl, then gradually add the borax solution you prepared while kneading with a spatula.
Once it starts to get sticky, knead it further with your hands.
When it reaches a firmness that doesn’t stick to your hands, it’s done.
It’s easy to mess up if you add the borax solution all at once, so be patient and mix it in little by little.
Glitter slime
How about making a super sparkly slime packed with so much glitter you’ll think, “Isn’t this too much?!” It’s super easy: just add a ton of glitter to clear slime.
The crunchy, gritty feel when you mix in the glitter is irresistible! You can load up one color and knead it in, then dump in a bunch of another color to enjoy the shift in hues.
Just note that if you add too many different kinds, the color will lose its beauty.
If you want a pretty finish, it’s best to stick to one or two colors.
