Regular Clear Glue Slime (Blue)

This beautiful regular clear slime is a simple, fun craft recipe for those who love to feel things and play with their hands, for those who love ASMR videos, or even want a distraction from stress. Regular clear slime is a great recipe for adding drastic textures to slime like foam beads, clay pieces, fishbowl beads, and so on.

Materials

• mixing bowl
• spoon and/or spatula
• clear glue (100 ml)
• warm water (25-50 ml)
• baby oil (optional; 1-2 dashes)
• food colouring (optional; 1-4 drops)
• borax mix (1-2 tsp.; mix 1 tbsp. of borax into 1 cup of boiling water and stir until clear)

Craft Instructions

• pour clear glue into mixing bowl and then slowly add water, mixing well with spoon or spatula;
• add baby oil and food colouring, and mix thoroughly (optional since you can add these things later on if you want to);
• add borax mixture; however, do not add too much since it will make your slime hard instead of stretchy;
• 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 paper towel; knead all the stringy parts out of the slime with your hands for 2-5 minutes in the mixing bowl;
• transfer your slime onto a hard, clean surface or into a sealable container;
• play with your slime with your hands or a utensil!

Tips

• at each step, always mix thoroughly (especially before adding borax mixture)
• only add more borax mixture if absolutely necessary (1-2 tsps. per time)
• wash your hands well before playing with your clear slime, so you don't get it dirty!
• the longer you leave your clear slime, the clearer it will become.
