We love making homemade slime! DIY SLIME WITHOUT BORAX OR LIQUID STARCH! I was super excited to try out this recipe that my friend in Canada came up with after doing some trial and error of her own. In the U.K. and Canada, liquid starch is not sold, so it’s impossible to make our slime with liquid starch. Also in Canada, borax powder is not suggested for use in kids activities, and in the UK and Australia it is not readily available. So what can you use instead of borax? The good news is that it is easy to make slime with eye drops (eyewash or saline solution) and glue, if the eye drops contain boric acid or sodium borate. As a rule of thumb, we have to double the number of eye drops used compared to the saline solution. See our homemade dollar store slime kit with eye drops!

It requires you to spend some extra time kneading it but you will have an awesome feeling stretchy slime when you are done. SLIME INGREDIENTS:
HOW TO MAKE SLIMESTEP 1: First measure a 1/2 cup of your glue into a mixing container. STEP 2: Add food coloring. For a deeper shade, because the glue is white, I like to use anywhere from 10-15 drops of food coloring. Stir to combine! STEP 3: Add 3/4 teaspoon {I did not level my 1/4 tsp exactly, so this may be closer to a full tsp worth of baking soda}. Mix it up! Baking soda helps to firm and form the slime. You can experiment with your own ratios! We have found clear glue slime usually doesn’t need quite as much baking soda as white glue slime! STEP 4: You can start by adding a full tbsp of eye drops and see how you like that consistency, you may need to add more. You can also follow our method below if you want to fine-tune the consistency to your desired texture. Adding too much slime activator (eye drops) can lead to a rubbery and too firm slime. Now for the eye drops! Add 10 eye drops and mix. Add 10 more and mix. You will start to see some consistency changes. Add 10 more drops and mix. Even more, change is happening. Add 10 more drops and you should be seeing a pretty thick and stiff mixture. You can probably grab it and start to pull it away some but it’s still really sticky. Add 10 more and mix. STEP 5: Now, it gets fun. {You have added 40 drops so far.} Put a few drops of the eye drop solution on your fingers and pull out the slime. It should come out nicely but still feel slightly sticky. The eye drops on your hands will help. Start working the slime and kneading. My husband says I look like I am pulling taffy. Get slime on clothes? Check out how to get slime out of clothes and hair. Additionally, I will add 5 more drops to the slime while it’s in my hands. Just keep kneading and pulling and folding it for a good five minutes. {In the end, I have used 45-50 drops of our eye drop solution} Kneading is an extremely important part of making slime! It will improve consistency considerably! This is a good view (below) of how it comes together at the point where you are going to remove it from the container to start kneading it. There’s nothing better than a huge pile of slime to play with any time. This stretchy slime made with eye drops and glue was just as much fun the next day.
