Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Make borax activator
- Add 1 teaspoon of borax into 1 cup of hot water.
- Stir until the borax dissolves. Set aside and wait for the liquid to become room temperature.
Step 3: Mix the first ingredients
- Pour 1/4 cup of white glue into a bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of water.
- Use a whisk to carefully mix the glue and water together.
- Colour the slime with 3 to 5 drops of food colouring. Stir to combine.
- To make a scented slime, add 5 to 10 drops of cotton candy fragrance oil.
- Now add 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of instant snow.
- Stir the instant snow into the mixture. It should become thick and clumpy.
Step 4: Activate the slime and wait overnight
- Add 2 Tablespoons of borax activator into the bowl. "Stir" as best you can, pressing the activator into the slime.
- Pick up the slime and knead it with your hands, stretching it out. It should feel a bit rippy and overactivated at this point, so don't worry.
- Now place the slime in an airtight container and wait overnight. This is necessary for the snow to absorb more into the slime. The longer you wait the more soft and stretchy the slime will be.
- Your cotton candy slime is complete!
