Make Easy Bug Slime without Borax

Liquid StarchLiquid StarchSLIME TIP: This slime or any other slime can easily be made without Borax. All you need is liquid starch and glue. In my opinion, this is the easiest way to make slime.  To make slime without borax just mix about 1/2 cup of warm water into 1/2 cup of glue and stir.  Next add in about 1/2 cup of liquid starch, little by little,  into the glue until you get the consistency of slime that you want. Make sure you pour it in a little at a time or you’ll get a big mess.

Liquid starch can be a pain to find in stores that’s why I pick up pick up an inexpensive container of liquid starch like this.  This is the same kind I use. I also like to purchase my glue in a big container like the one below. It’s so much cheaper that way. Plus slime has become a big thing these days and small bottles of glue are selling out in stores.

In a large bowl add your glue, water and food coloring. Mix well. Slowly add in the 1/2 cup of starch in small amounts. Do not add it in all at once or you’ll get a big gloppy mess. Once you can’t stir anymore, take the slime out of the bowl and knead it together. The more you knead the less sticky it will become. If it’s too sticky, just add a small amount more of starch.
