How to Make Crystal Clear Slime
Crystal Clear Slime
Even when you use clear glue your slime turns out cloudy. But, we've figured out a solution! We let our slime rest for a few days before playing with it, and we had Crystal Clear Slime!
Materials
- 1 cup Elmer’s Clear Glue
- ½ cup warm water
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp. + 1 tsp. Contact lens solution
- 1 small mixing bowl
- 1 large mixing bowl
- Optional: Glitter or confetti
Instructions
1. Mix the baking soda and warm water together in a small mixing bowl until the baking soda is dissolved.
2. Pour the glue into the large mixing bowl.
3. Slowly add the baking soda and water mixture in the clear glue and mix slowly until combined.
4. Stir in the contact solution until slime forms.
**The slime will be cloudy and bubbly. Store the slime into an airtight container for 3-7 days until the slime is clear.
Once the slime is clear, it’s ready for playtime.
Note: Slime may return to a cloudy and bubbly state after playing with it for a while. Simply add slime to the airtight container when finished and wait for it to return to clear.
Notes
When you play for a while with the slime, it may return to a cloudy and bubbly state. Just place the slime into an airtight container when finished and wait for it to return to clear.
