Slime And Borax Solution Recipes

I have not made slime often enough to remember the recipe. Every time I have to look it up online, and I don't know which recipe I have tried in the past, or which one I should go with.

For future reference this is how to make slime:

Number 1, make sodium tetraborate solution, as follows:

Sodium Tetraborate Solution

Mix 1 cup of water with 1 TBS. of 20 Mule Borax. Stir until borax dissolves. 

Number 2, make slime:

Plain Slime

1/2 cup white glue

1/2 cup water

A few drops of food coloring (optional)

1 1/2 TBS. sodium tetraborate solution

Mix together the glue, water, and food coloring. Add the sodium tetraborate solution 1/2 a tablespoon at a time. Stirring in between additions. The more you add the harder it will get. Don't add any more if your slime reaches the consistency you want before you add the whole 1 1/2 tablespoons.

Fluffy Slime

2/3 cup white glue

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cup water

A few drops of food coloring

2-3 cups shaving cream

1 1/2 TBS. sodium tetraborate solution

In a bowl, mix together the glue, baking soda, water and food coloring. Add the shaving cream and stir well. Add the sodium tetraborate solution half a tablespoon at a time, stirring between additions. When the slime starts to come together it can be kneaded in order to fully incorporate the borate solution and complete the transformation. This fluffy slime is really fun to play with. The fluffiness wears off after a day, but the slime stays good for a while if stored in an airtight container.
