How to Make Fluffy Slime
To make super soft and fluffy slime, you need just a few things: glue, baking soda, contact solution, and shaving cream. The trick is to use the minimum amount of contact solution. If you use too much, your slime will become hard. The more shaving cream you use, the less you use the slimier it will be. So
DIY Mardi Gras Fluffy Slime Recipe
Supplies Needed:
- 3/4 cups Elmers School Glue
- 3 teaspoons baking soda
- 3-4 teaspoons sensitive contact solution
- purple, green, yellow food coloring
- purple, gold, green glitter
- 1/2 to 1 cup sensitive shaving cream
Directions:
1. Add 1/4 cup of glue and 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 3 different bowls and mix.
2. Stir in glitter and food coloring until your desired shade of color is reached.
3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of contact solution to one bowl at a time and stir well, continue to add very slowly until mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is only slightly sticky. Repeat with each of your colors.
4. Add in shaving cream start with a 1/2 cup and add more as needed to reach your desired texture.
5. Mix it all up well with your hands to combine, you may need to add a tiny bit more saline solution but add it sparingly, too much and it will be too hard and won't stretch well.
What you end up with is a fun and super stretchy slime with the added bonus of a little fluff mixed in. This is just one batch of the mixture and there is plenty of slime out of the picture that you can't even see!
The colors mix beautifully at first and then become a muddy teal so mix at your own risk.
Store your slime in an airtight container and it will last for about a week.
