A while ago, I showed you how to make some slime. In this second video, I'll show you another
recipe you can use along with more things you can add to it.
This stuff is easy to make, and can be a fun project, especially for kids.
In my first slime video, I used Borax. If you haven't seen it already, check it out here.
Or see the link in the About section below.
Borax works well for making slime with white and clear glue, but it turns out some of you
don't have access to stores which sell it.
Liquid starch is another option.
Here's the recipe I'm going to use.
To find out where you can buy liquid starch, and for other alternative recipes, please
see the About section below.
First, I'll show you how to make your slime glow in the dark.
In a bowl, pour one bottle of white or clear glue. Add 1/4 cup of water.
Now mix in at least 1-2 oz. of glow in the dark paint. I'm using glow in the dark fabric
paint.
Use the bottle as a spoon and stir until it's well mixed.
Now add 1/2 cup of liquid starch and stir. Then kneed it until it no longer sticks to
your hands.
To activate the paint, hold the slime in the light for about one minute.
Then watch it glow!
Now I'll show you how to make your slime sparkle.
Pour clear glue into a bowl. Then add food color if you want to. For clear glue, a little
goes a long way. To make purple, add 2 drops of red, and 1 drop of blue. Then add glitter.
Stir it together, and add 1/2 cup of liquid starch. Then 1/4 cup of water. Continue to
stir, and you can then kneed it until it no longer sticks to your hands.
Now you have some magical slime!
Another fun trick to do is add wiggle eyes. I bought these from Michael's craft store,
and there are lots of eyes to choose from.
Before you make the slime, glue them back to back so that the eyes can be seen from
both sides. You may need stronger glue to keep them together once they are in the slime.
I used a glue gun.
To prepare the slime, I'm using the same liquid starch recipe, with one drop of green food
color.
When the slime is all made, stick the wiggle eyes into the slime.
Now you got some weird eyeball slime.
You can also add fake critters.
I found some rubbery stretchy snakes and added them to clear slime.
You can usually find critters like this in toy sections, and especially around Halloween
time.
I hope you have fun using these different ways to make slime. To keep it from drying
out, store it in a plastic bag. If it starts to dry out, you can add some drops of water
into the bag to moisten it.
