How to Make Slime

There are a million ways to make slime, and part of the fun is how much variation there is to try! All slime will need a base (PVA glue is usually used) and a chemical reactor that will thicken the slime. We’ve made slime from soap, glue, sugar, xanthan gum, and cornstarch, but you can make it from almost anything!

Experiment with different materials and ratios to make a slime that is unique to you! Slime forms when the two materials mix and create a chemical bond known as a polymer chain. This is a stretchy substance that is fun to play with!

Our favorite slime uses a mixture of laundry starch and PVA glue. You can find the recipe for that in our unicorn poop slime post.

Everything you need to know about making perfect slime recipes every time and becoming a slime expert can be found in the Slime Made Easy book.

Foolproof Slime Recipe

When making slime, we like to use a ratio of 1 part water, 1 part laundry starch, and 1 part glue. Our slime comes out perfect every single time! We like to use gel food colors because they create vibrant colors that really pop!

The secret to making perfect slime is to mix the water and glue together with the food coloring first. Then, add in your starch. Lastly, let your slime sit for about 5 minutes before playing with it. The rest phase really helps those bonds form and create a stretchy slime that is mess-free.
