How to Make Slime Without Borax Powder

Making slime without borax powder is easy. Simply add a few drops of food coloring into a cup of warm water. Pour this water into a bowl containing two cups of cornstarch and mix it thoroughly with your hands. You can add more water or cornstarch as necessary, along with a few other ingredients.

Cornstarch Slime: - 1.5 cups of water - 3 to 4 drops of food coloring - 2 cups of cornstarch Regular Slime: - 1 bottle of Elmer's glue - Contact lens solution - Dish soap - Eyeshadow (Optional) - Lotion (Optional) Edible Slime: - 1 can of condensed milk (approximately 400g) - 1 tablespoon of cornstarch - 10-15 drops of food coloring Baby Powder Slime: - 1/2 cup of PVA glue - Food coloring - 1/2 cup of baby powder (talc powder) Soluble Fiber Slime: - Water - Food coloring (Optional) - 1 tablespoon of soluble fiber - 1 cup of water

First, mix a generous amount of contact lens solution into the glue. Stir well. Then, add a little dish soap and continue stirring. The dish soap will help the mixture solidify. Once it starts to set, just stick your hands in and pull the solidified mass out to play with. At first, it will be quite sticky, but it will return to a rubbery consistency. Adding lotion will make it more elastic.

Pour 1 cup of water into a small pan. Heat until the water is warm but not hot or boiling. There's no need to bring it to a boil since you'll need to wait for it to cool down before you can mix the slime by hand.

• You can also pour the water into a heatproof bowl and microwave it for 45 seconds to 1 minute to warm the water.

Pour 1 cup of warm water into a bowl. Add 3 to 4 drops of green food coloring until the water turns a darker shade than the slime color you want. This is because the color will lighten once it turns into slime. Stir the color into the water using a spoon.

Measure out 2 cups of cornstarch. In the southern region, cornstarch is also known as corn flour. Add the cornstarch into a large bowl.

Pour the colored water into the bowl with cornstarch. Be sure to pour slowly. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients. Stir until the mixture becomes a thick dough-like consistency.

Adjust the consistency of the slime. If the mixture is too runny, you can add flour. If it’s too thick, pour in the remaining half cup of warm water. This step is flexible based on your preference.

• Continue adjusting until the mixture reaches a consistency you desire. This means you should be able to dip your hands into the slime easily, and when you touch the surface, it should feel dry.

Add additional materials to the slime to make it more interesting (this is optional). You can use plastic worms, bugs, or fake eyes. This idea works great for Halloween parties, science events, camping, or nature-themed gatherings.

Place the slime in a plastic bag. Tie the bag shut to store the slime.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a pan. Alternatively, you can pour it into a pot.

Add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the sweetened condensed milk. Turn the heat to low and simmer, stirring the mixture constantly.

Remove the mixture from the stove once it has thickened. Add food coloring. Keep adding until the mixture reaches your desired color.

Let the slime cool down. Once it cools, you can play with or eat it. Be careful as it may stain light-colored clothing or carpets.

Complete the task.

Pour half a cup of PVA glue into a bowl.

Add one or two drops of food coloring.

Stir to mix the ingredients evenly.

Add half a cup of baby powder (talcum powder). Add more powder if necessary until the slime reaches the desired consistency.

Play with the slime. Store the slime in an airtight container.

Mix 1 tablespoon of soluble fiber with 1 cup of water. It is recommended to use a microwave-safe bowl since the mixture will need to be microwaved.

Add a few drops of food coloring until the water and soluble fiber mixture reaches your desired color. This will be the color of the slime, and it won’t fade. Stir the mixture well.

Place the entire bowl of mixture into the microwave. Heat the mixture on high for about 4 to 5 minutes. Check the mixture regularly to ensure it doesn't overflow from the bowl.

Let the mixture sit for about 2 to 4 minutes and stir well. The mixture will cool down during this time.

Repeat the heating and cooling process 2 to 6 times, stirring the mixture each time it cools. The more times you repeat the process, the thicker the slime will become.

Allow the mixture to cool in the microwave. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or longer. Remember not to touch the mixture until it is completely cooled, as it will be very hot.

• You can place the slime on a plate or cutting board to speed up the cooling process.

• The process of making slime can be a bit messy. Wear old clothes and make sure to cover surfaces that might get stained if the mixture splashes or slime gets stuck to it.
• Be careful not to let the slime get on your clothes, as it could leave stains.
• If you don’t have food coloring, you can mix tempera powder into cornstarch before adding water to color your slime.
• Remember to wash your hands after making slime.
• You can add baby oil to make your slime shinier.
• Add glue to make the slime stickier.
• If you want to store the slime in the freezer, be sure not to leave it in for too long.
• You can also make slime with dish soap, bread, and glue.

• Even though basic flour-based slime and slime made with soluble fibers do not contain borax, keep an eye on children to make sure they don’t put it in their mouths or eat it as it’s not food. For young children, slime could pose a choking hazard. However, if a child accidentally swallows a little without any adverse reaction, there is no cause for concern. (Slime that is edible is fine).
