Slime need not be expensive to make. Saving money is possible in a variety of ways. A few of the ways you can help out are based on things you may already have at home. You can, for instance, use the most basic of slimes: a combination of baking soda, contact lens solution and glue. And those items are inexpensive and available at most grocery stores.
When you make slime without spending a fortune, it never hurts to opt for the least expensive supplies. The cheap things you will need include (but are not limited to) glue, borax, food coloring and glitter. You can typically find these for a reasonable price at a craft store or online. If you want to save a little bit more money, you can always use other ingredients in your slime. You can use cornstarch to create safe slime instead of borax, for instance. This is an inexpensive and safe way that children can play.
DIY slime making is easy and fun! To begin with, combine glue and water in a bowl. Add food coloring and glitter for colorful, sparkly slime. Then sprinkle in a little bit of Borax or cornstarch to stiffen it. Mix everything together until it forms a big blob of slime.
If you are looking for even more ways to make slime that is cheap and easy, check out these unique slime projects. Making slime in a bag is one brilliant idea. In order to do this, combine glue, water and borax in a plastic bag. Seal the bag, then knead the bag until the slime forms. Kids can squish the slime mess-free!
You can add fluffy slime to the list of quick projects. To create that soft slime mixture, combine glue, shaving cream and borax. The shaving cream gives the slime substance and keeps it from getting runny and the shaving cream also makes the slime fluffy and fun to play with.
