HOW TO MAKE CLEAR SLIME

HOW TO MAKE CLEAR SLIME

Look at this slimy beauty! Do I need to say anything else? Ok, ok, maybe include the instructions on how to make this homemade slime DIY for your little ones! Oh! and did you see the cool personalized decorations inside? I know, right? That’s my favorite part, it is see through and you can add all sorts of things inside it. For this one I added small flamingo confetti, but anything sort works too.

MATERIALS:

  1. 1 cup of clear glue

  2. 1/2 cup of warm water

  3. 1 tsp baking soda

  4. 4-5 tbsp of contact lens solution with boric acid

  5. Air tight container

  6. Cute sequence (Optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix the baking soda into the water until it is fully dissolved. Set aside to cool.

  2. Add the glue to a bowl. Once the water solution is cool, add it in as well. Mix slowly in order to avoid air bubbles.

  3. Add one tbsp of contact solution at a time. Mix in between each one.

  4. Once the slime pulls apart from the bowl, add some contact lens solution to your hands and mend the slime until it is not super sticky. Remember it’s slime, so it will be somewhat sticky.

  5. Put the slime in an air tight container and let it sit for 24-48 hours. The air bubbles will rise to the top and eventually disappear. Thats what will make the slime super clear.

  6. Once it’s crystal clear, add in some fun sequence. The slime will get air bubbles as you play with it but store it in an air tight container and it will become clear again.

Tip: There are different other activators you could use instead of the contact lens solution, however this is the only one I have found to be non-toxic. And we obviously want to avoid any toxic activators with our little ones.
