How To Make Your Own Slime The Easy Way!

If I hear ‘Can we buy some Borax please?’ one more time, I will implode!

But surely there has to be an easier way than shopping for items you don’t even know! Does anyone know what Borax actually is?! Let’s take a look at how to make your own slime the easy way!

Fortunately there are easier ways to make your own slime, thanks to So Slime DIY!

Liv was recently sent the Slime Factory set, part of a fantastic range of So Slime DIY products, that enable you to make your own slime, without the hassle of having to track down all the necessary ingredients.

Slime crafting kit

This nifty piece of kit and includes:

10 x packs of powder
Packs of glitter and confetti (to mix in with your slime)
4 x surprise figurines (to also include in your slime to make it even more special and unique)
A tool and funnel (or a whisk thing as I like to call it)
3 x coloured containers, with added stickers to decorate them

Making Your Own Slime With The Slime Factory

It really could not be any easier to make your own slime and as expected, after setting up the Factory with each item in its place, Liv had a quick read of the instructions and she was making gooey stuff in no time.

Simply mix water, powder and glitter together in the mixing container, whisk away for a few minutes and there you have it. No mess, no fuss and certainly no Borax!

Well… there would be no mess if Liv had put paper down to catch glitter that never made it into the mixing container, though the dog was somewhat sparkly for a few days!

Crafting at home

It does does need to be stirred a lot for it to become the perfect consistency. Make sure you keep it in an airtight container, otherwise it turns hard and not the usual consistency expected!

The set includes metallic, neon and pastel powders. As you can see, Liv combined a large proportion that she made. The container pots are super cute and great to give as gifts in, which Liv did, much to make squeals. Can you tell I am not sold on the whole craze yet?!

Made By Stickers

Who is the So Slime DIY Kit aimed at?

Aimed at children aged 6+ and for Liv this was perfect as it was simple and quick to use. With easy instructions on how she could crack on with making her own slime.

There were a few occasions where I needed to take over the whisking process, unfortunately the turning section of the whisk did snap off. Liv was using at the time and was so bitterly disappointed, but ended up still whisking with other implements.

So Slime DIY Kit

Colourful, engaging and well made with the exception of the whisk tool. Though Liv was probably using excessive force, both Liv and I would totally recommend this toy. The set is awesome and the factory base keeps everything in one place. Making it very easy to store and keep tidy.

You can purchase the Slime Factory from all good toy retailers. Including Smyths for £19.99 RRP, which I find quite reasonable. There are more items in the range too, including kits to make your own bath bombs!

  1. This looks like fun. There are quite a few recipes about for slime without using borax as one of the main ingredients but this product looks ideal as kids can set to work and make it without too much adult supervision (I know just what you mean about glitter!). My 6 year old would love it although it’s a shame about the whisk.

  2. I’ve only once attempted to make slime because all the teachers in my school were making it in their classes…from Borax. There I was at home attempting a trial batch and I read what is in Borax…and the warning label. My class did not even up making slime as I couldn’t find an alternative I was comfortable using. This might be a good idea though. My two love play dough (I’m not so keen!) but it keeps them busy.

  3. My son would like this. We have tried and failed at so many recipes I’ve followed exact measurements with exact products and followed the video but still no slime.

  4. Laughing at the thought of a glittery dog! My girls would love this. At the moment their rooms are full of tupperware boxes filled with slime. I can’t see this craze dying down any time soon so might as well embrace it! #pocolo

    • Liv has attempted to make slime, but we never seem to have the right ingredients in the house – for me especially, this is so much easier and can easily be tidied away, bonus 😉 Your slime is awesome, Liv has watched the videos xx

  5. I think (hope) we are just coming out of the make your slime phase and keeping to bought stuff now. But I think if I show Olivia this she will start up all over again! She would definitely have loved to have something like this and so would I having been on the borax hunt more than once #pocolo

  6. I’m so glad Heidi hasn’t asked me to make this, I can’t handle the texture. But it’s a good idea to make it yourself #PoCoLo

  7. This would make a great gift for Nephews and Nieces this year. Although, that would mean I’ll be allocated the task of making it with them *yikes*

    • I am totally the same, it surprises me how creative Liv is – but even I could work this set and make actual slime, I was impressed 🙂 x

    • It’s a seriously reasonable price! Liv was totally engaged with it for ages 🙂 It’s just a shame that the powders do run out eventually 🙁 x

  8. I honestly don’t know how I have avoided the question ‘Mummy can we make slime?’. Like most kids, mine is obsessed with the stuff. Maybe I got off lightly. This kit looks good though and is worth bearing in mind should I get asked the question! Thanks for sharing with #TriumphantTales.

    • You ave got off very lightly indeed! I am jealous! The kit is fantastic for slime fans and those that haven’t even joined the craze yet!x
