The Best Ever Stretchy, Fluffy, and Glittery Slime Recipe

November 1, 2018 by Vikram Goyal

Hey guys!

If you’re like me you’ve made many unsuccessful slimes that seem to stick to your clothes, your furniture, and probably everything in sight.

Been there, done that!

Anyway, to avoid that, here’s a no-fail slime recipe that seems to work every single time with great, fun results, perfect for kids.

Also, here are a few tips, tricks, and precautions before we get started:

  • Keep slime away from babies and toddlers.
  • Always Always Always wash your hands after making and/or playing with slime.
  • This slime is not edible! (but there are a few edible slimes out there!)
  • When purchasing the shaving cream, just grab the cheapest bottle. It still works and for some reason, kids like to go CRAZY with the shaving cream…
  • You don’t really need to measure everything out. Just eye it, and a rough idea is good.
  • When finished playing with the slime, keep it in an airtight container. Slime dries out very quickly!
  • Just watch what surfaces your kids put the slime down on…

With that done, let’s start making it!

You can also watch our video to make the same slime below!

Ingredients:
Elmer’s Glitter Glue (in your choice of color – we chose silver)
Elmer’s Magical Liquid
Shaving Cream (any brand is fine)

Method:
Step 1. Pour 4 oz of the Glitter Glue into a bowl.
Step 2. Add 1/2 cup shaving cream and mix well.
Step 3. Add 1/4 cup Magical Liquid and mix immediately and well.
Step 4. Once combined, take mixture out of the bowl and knead with hands until slime is not sticky and can be played with.
Step 5. Enjoy!

Slime is a great stress reliever as well as an educational tool, not only does it teach science but it is hands-on , which means children are using their fine motor skills to make and or play with slime.

How to Manage a Large Piece of Cross Stitch Fabric

I am known to be really paranoid when it comes to cutting cross stitch fabric for a project. I will math it out, count, recount, think about it, worry, decide it needs to be bigger than math plus my already large margin for error suggests. If I could just be confident in choosing the correct size of fabric I’d have a lot more stitching time!

Sometimes you have a lot of extra fabric beyond where you are stitching because your fabric is too big. Or maybe you’re just working on a big project that leaves excess fabric potentially in your way when you are stitching. 

Hannah Hand Makes has a post all about how to deal with excess fabric on the sides of a large cross stitch project (which is actually a podcast if you’d rather listen). She is talking more about huge stitchalong projects where you need a big piece of fabric than my particular problem of timid cutting, but the same advice applies. 

I am lazy and don’t want to buy new products, so I would probably devise some sort of rolling and clamping situation with items I already have in the house, but she has some great tips for actual products you can buy that will help with this situation such as large hoops, standing frames and scroll frames. One of these solutions would certainly be worth the investment if you’re doing a year long (or otherwise long term) stitchalong or really big project where that excess fabric is going to cause problems. 

Because beyond being annoying, odds are good I’m going to end up stitching right through that extra fabric and making a big mess. 

Check out all the tips for working with a really big piece of cross stitch fabric over at Hannah Hand Makes. 

What’s the biggest cross stitch project you’ve ever made? I’d love to hear all about it!
