[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!
