How to Make Slime with Hand Sanitizer Only
Have you ever wanted to create your own homemade slime but didn’t have the necessary ingredients? Well, worry no more! With just hand sanitizer, you can easily make a fun and stretchy slime. This simple DIY project is perfect for kids and adults alike, providing hours of entertainment and a safe alternative to store-bought slime. Let’s dive into the steps to make slime with hand sanitizer only.
Materials Needed:
Before you start, gather the following materials:
– Hand sanitizer (preferably a clear, alcohol-based one)
– Borax powder
– A mixing bowl
– A spoon or a popsicle stick
– Food coloring (optional)
– Glitter (optional)
Instructions:
1. Measure the Hand Sanitizer: Begin by measuring out 1/2 cup of hand sanitizer into the mixing bowl. You can use any size of hand sanitizer, but 1/2 cup is a good starting point.
2. Add Food Coloring (Optional): If you want to color your slime, now is the time to add a few drops of food coloring. Stir the hand sanitizer until the color is evenly distributed.
3. Mix in Borax: Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of Borax powder into the hand sanitizer. Stir the mixture with a spoon or popsicle stick until the Borax is completely dissolved.
4. Add More Hand Sanitizer (Optional): If your slime is too thick, you can add a little more hand sanitizer to thin it out. If it’s too thin, sprinkle in a little more Borax powder.
5. Knead the Slime: Once the slime is at the desired consistency, use your hands to knead it for a few minutes. This will help the slime to become more stretchy and less sticky.
6. Add Glitter (Optional): If you want to add some sparkle to your slime, sprinkle in a few glitter particles while kneading it.
7. Enjoy Your Slime: Your homemade hand sanitizer slime is now ready to play with! Store it in an airtight container when not in use.
Remember, hand sanitizer slime is not edible, so keep it away from children who might put it in their mouths. Also, be cautious when handling the Borax powder, as it can be harmful if ingested or gets into your eyes.
Now that you know how to make slime with hand sanitizer only, you can have fun experimenting with different colors, glitter, and textures. Happy crafting!
