Materials
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Make the borax activator
- Add 1 teaspoon of borax into 1 cup of hot water.
- Stir until dissolved and set in the fridge to cool. Then transfer it into an airtight bottle or jar.
Step 3: Mix the ingredients
- Add 1/4 cup of white glue to a bowl.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of water and whisk the 2 ingredients together gently, until nicely combined.
- Add 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of instant snow powder to the bowl.
- Stir the snow into the mixture. The water will absorb the snow, making it a bit thick and clumpy -- that's okay.
Step 4: Activate the slime
- Add 2 Tablespoons of the borax activator into the bowl.
- Stir and press the activator into the mixture, as much as you can.
- Then use your hands to mix the slime.
- Pick up the slime and squish it together. It'll feel dough-like and overactivated at first, but just keep kneading.
Step 5: Allow the slime to sit
- You can use your slime now, but if you place it in an airtight container for a few hours (or overnight) it'll give the snow even more time to absorb into the slime.
- Your spider web slime is complete! Stretch it apart to see cotton-y spider web like strands and have fun playing with plastic spiders!
