Strawberry Moon Milk (Emoji Series)

This milky slime combines white and clear glue-bases is a satisfying recipe for those who love textures to play with, for those who love ASMR videos, or even for those who want a distraction from stress. This recipe is the first slime in our emoji series!

Materials

• mixing bowl
• spoon and/or spatula
• white glue (75 mL)
• clear glue (25 mL)
• white lotion
• borax mix (1-2 tsp.; mix 1 tbsp. of borax into 1 cup of boiling water and stir until clear)
• lunar sparkles
• strawberry pieces (these can be made from oven-bake clay or bought from Michael's or online)
• small styrofoam ball
• dark blue or black acrylic paint
• small paint brush

Craft Instructions

• lightly paint your small styrofoam ball, so it resembles the moon, and set aside to dry;
• pour white glue into mixing bowl and then slowly add clear glue and white lotion, mixing well with spoon or spatula;
• add borax mixture, but do not add too much, since it will make your slime hard and not stretchy like you want it (TIP: PUT 1/2 tsp in at a time and knead and knead for minutes before adding any more);
• mix slime with spoon or spatula until it starts to stick to itself, becoming gooey;
• remove spoon or spatula and place on a plate or a paper towel
• knead the slime for 2-5 minutes in the mixing bowl while trying to get all the stringy parts out;
• transfer your slime onto a hard, clean surface or into a sealable container;
• add lunar glitter and strawberry pieces;
• once dried, add your moon;
• mix your slime creation together to create the magical moon milk;
• play with your slime with your hands or a spoon.

Tips

• the more sparkles you add, the less "white" your milk slime will appear
• the the longer you leave this slime sit once you've mixed it, the higher the moon will rise out of the slime. Soon, you will see a full moon!
