Yield: 1 black slime recipe
Cost: $2
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Mix the first ingredients
- Add 1/2 cup of clear glue to a bowl.
- Pour in 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- Stir the glue and baking soda together well, until the baking soda is completely dissolved.
- Add a generous amount of black acrylic paint (probably about 2 teaspoons) to the bowl.
- Stir well, until the paint is nicely combined into the glue. Add more colour, as needed.
Step 3: Activate the slime
- Pour 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution into the bowl.
- Stir until you can't anymore and the slime comes away from the bowl. Press the mixture down to combine all the glue and incorporate all the contact solution.
- Pick up the slime from the bowl and begin stretching it. It will be quite sticky at first, but don't panic! Continue folding and kneading the slime and using it to clean itself off your hands.
- Continue stretching the slime until it no longer sticks to your hands. You can add a couple more drops of contact solution if it's still a tiny bit sticky.
- Your black slime is complete!
