Step 1: Gather Ingredients
To make glossy slime, you will need the following ingredients:
– Clear or white Elmer’s glue (2-3 ounces)
– 1 tablespoon of baking soda
– 1 tablespoon of saline solution
– Contact lens solution (make sure it contains boric acid)
– Food coloring (optional)
– Glitter (optional)
Step 2: Mix the Glue and Baking Soda
In a bowl, add 2-3 ounces of clear or white Elmer’s glue. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and mix well until the baking soda is fully incorporated into the glue. If you want colored glossy slime, add a few drops of food coloring to the glue mixture and mix well.
Step 3: Add Glitter (Optional)
If you want glittery glossy slime, add a tablespoon of glitter to the glue mixture and stir well to combine it. You can also add sequins or other small items to the mixture if you wish.
Step 4: Add Saline Solution
Next, add 1 tablespoon of saline solution to the glue mixture and stir well. You should notice the slime starting to clump together. Keep stirring until the slime comes away from the bowl and forms a ball.
Step 5: Knead the Slime
Once the slime starts to clump, you can start to knead it with your hands. Knead the slime until it’s smooth and not sticky. If the slime is still too sticky, add a few drops of saline solution and knead it again.
Step 6: Add Contact Lens Solution
Now it’s time to add the contact lens solution. Add a few drops at a time while kneading the slime until it becomes glossy. Stop adding the contact lens solution once the slime is glossy and stretchy.
Step 7: Play Time
Your glossy slime is now ready to play with. You can stretch, squeeze, and mold it to your liking. You should store your glossy slime in an airtight container to keep it from drying out.
