I will not use all of this solution – in most cases I use 3-4 tablespoons at the most.
When I use Borax I mix 1/2 teaspoon of Borax in 1/2 cup of warm water and mix until it is completely dissolved. If you choose not to use Borax, you can use saline solution or liquid starch instead. But I understand some people are nervous about using it (I explain more about my choice of Borax in my Glitter glue slime post). I’ve been making homemade slime recipes with my children, nieces, nephews and school groups for over 12 years. I have always used Borax as a slime activator. It’s so annoying to drive across town to buy the supplies and find they have sold out!Ī gallon of glue is also about HALF the price on Amazon compared to our local craft stores! Win-win! Slime is SOOOOO popular right now, I’ve found a lot of store are sold out of basic slime making supplies. If I had been buying the smaller bottles I would have spent a fortune by now! The gallon bottle is DEFINITELY the way to go! This was definitely the best investment I’ve made! I had no idea my kids would love making slime so much. It’s now October and we’ve still got some left. I bought a one gallon bottle of Elmer’s glue at the beginning of the summer.
