Ingredients
  

  • School glue – around 1 cup
  • Shaving foam – ½ cup
  • Cornstarch OR soft clay – ¾ cup
  • Glitter – your call any color
  • Food coloring – optional
  • Slime activator – 2–3 tablespoons
  • can be borax water, lens solution + baking soda, or ready slime activator
  • Baby oil or lotion – 1 teaspoon

Equipment

  • A medium mixing bowl
  • A spoon or spatula
  • Small cup for measuring
  • Flat clean surface for kneading
  • Airtight container (super important later)
  • Optional: gloves — if glitter annoys you

Method
 

Step 1: Pour the Glue
  1. Add the glue to your bowl.
  2. Let it fall slowly. Watching glue drip is strangely therapeutic… don’t judge me.
Step 2: Add Color
  1. If you want pink… blue… ocean green… whatever—add a few drops of color.
  2. Mix until it looks nice and even.
Step 3: Add Glitter
  1. Ah yes, the fun part.
  2. Pour as much glitter as you want. Seriously — there is no “too much glitter.”
  3. Mix it in. It should look like a sparkly milkshake right now.
Step 4: Add Shaving Foam
  1. This is what makes it light and airy.
  2. Mix it. The texture will get fluffy.
Step 5: Add Lotion or Baby Oil
  1. Just a little.
  2. This trick makes your slime smooth and buttery later.
  3. Don’t skip unless you like rough slime.
Step 6: Add Cornstarch or Clay
  1. Clay makes it smoother. Cornstarch makes it fluffier and softer.
  2. Both work fine.
  3. Mix until it starts feeling thicker.
Step 7: Add Activator Slowly
  1. This is the part where you need patience.
  2. Add a small amount of activator… mix… wait… add again.
  3. At first it looks like you messed up. Sticky, messy, gluey chaos.
  4. Keep mixing.
  5. Slowly you’ll see it forming into a ball. That’s when you know you’re close.
Step 8: Knead
  1. Take it out (yes… now your hands will get messy, sorry).
  2. Knead it for 2–3 minutes like dough.
  3. Press… fold… stretch… repeat.
  4. And suddenly — boom — you’ll feel that classic butter slime texture.
