We recommend using an Elmer’s brand glue for your slime, but the type and color is up to you! Get wild and use a liquid glitter glue or a colored glue. If you don’t have colored glue, we’ve got you! You can dye your glue mixture at this stage with a few drops of food coloring.
Stop adding the borax mixture whenever the slime reaches the consistency you want! For a softer stress ball, add less borax. For a firmer stress ball, add more borax. [4] X Research source
For a clear slime, use clear Elmer’s glue and let the slime sit overnight. [6] X Research source
If you don’t have a funnel, no worries! You can easily make one with the top of a water bottle. Simply cut around a water bottle about 2 inches (5. 1 cm) from the top. If you used glitter or colored glue to make your slime, we suggest using a clear balloon so you can see the fun!
Section off the slime to make filling the balloon easier. Add one half and then the next. Hold onto the balloon at the funnel and knead the slime down into the balloon. Add a little more borax solution if your slime is too hard. Simply drip the borax solution into the funnel with the slime.
You can cut off the tip of the knot if you prefer, but this could lead to potential leaks if the knot slips in the future.
Adding a fishnet will make lots of bubbles of slime pop up around the balloon when you squeeze. Now all that’s left to do is squeeze and have fun with your new DIY stress ball!
