Recently, a new craze has been becoming popular across the Internet: slime.
Here are several do-it-yourself recipes to make different variations of this hot Internet trend.
Clear Slime
Materials:
• 5 oz. bottle of clear PVA glue
• 1 tsp. of baking soda
• Contact lens solution
• Container
• Mixing tool
• Food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
1. Empty the contents of the glue bottle into a clean container.
2. OPTIONAL: Add food coloring and mix.
3. Take a teaspoon of baking soda and mix it into the glue until it completely dissolves.
4. Add a few drops of the contact lens solution into the glue mixture.
5. Mix.
6. Keep on slowly adding more contact lens solution and mixing until you reach your desired consistency.
7. At this time, your slime is filled with air bubbles so it will appear cloudy instead of clear. If you store the slime in a container and leave it untouched for a week, the air bubbles will rise to the surface and you will be left with clear slime.
