The Best Ever Stretchy, Fluffy, and Glittery Slime Recipe

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!

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.

While no one would likely use a knit backpack for school, knitting a backpack is a fun way to show off your knitting skills and carry around your project or everyday essentials instead of using a purse. Check out these cute backpack knitting patterns and stitch one up for your next project.

I couldn’t resist sharing this adorable bunny backpack (you can also make it without the ears) that is made on a circular knitting machine. This pattern is from Orange Olive Road and you can use a 46 or 48 needle machine for the bag but will also need a 22 needle machine if you opt for the bunny version.

If you prefer knitting by hand, check out the bucket bag pattern from WoolFans Knitting. This one calls for super bulky yarn in two or three colors (you could make it all in one color, too, if you’d rather) and it looks like the base is knit flat and then the sides are worked in the round.

You know I love a stashbuster, and that’s what you get with the Whidbey Bag from Wool and Pine Designs. This one calls for DK weight yarn for the body of the bag, which is actually worked in a single color from the top down. The colorful bits are woven in after the knitting is done, allowing you to use up all sorts of odd balls quickly.

Adding hardware to a knit bag makes it look that much more interesting, and the combination of leather accents and a sari silk yarn makes Le Backpack from Vanrey Knits a lot of fun. This pattern is on Ravelry and uses a super bulky yarn and seed stitch for a ton of texture.

Mama in a Stitch has a great free pattern for a little backpack with a flap closure. This one is worked in worsted weight cotton yarn with two strands held together for extra stability. It starts with a flat base with the body worked in the round and a knit flap and I-cord straps.
