Making slime with glue and borax involves combining a prepared glue mixture with a borax mixture to create a fun, stretchy material.
Easy Steps to Make Slime
Follow these straightforward steps to create slime using slime glue and a borax solution.
| Component | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Glue Mixture | Slime glue, water, and optional food coloring. | Base for the slime. |
| Borax Mixture | Borax powder dissolved in water. | The activator that creates the slime. |
