[Craft] Easy at Home! A Collection of Homemade Slime Recipes (1–10)
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.
