Full Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Prepare Your Mixing Bowl

Use a clean mixing bowl to avoid contamination. The clearer the bowl, the easier it is to see the slime’s transparency!

Step 2: Mix Glue & Baking Soda

Pour 1 cup of clear PVA glue into the bowl.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and mix thoroughly until fully combined.

Step 3: Add Color (Optional)

If you’d like, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir until you reach your desired color.

Step 4: Activate the Slime

Slowly add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution to the glue mixture. The slime will begin to form and thicken.
Keep stirring until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 5: Knead the Slime

Once it’s less sticky, use your hands to knead the slime. This will help incorporate air and improve the texture.
If it’s still sticky, add a tiny bit more contact lens solution.

Step 6: Store Your Slime

Place your finished slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh. Enjoy your crystal clear creation!

Tips & Variations:

Customize Colors: Experiment with different food coloring combinations for unique shades.
Add Ins: Incorporate cosmetic glitter, small beads, or sequins for added texture.
Scent It Up: Add a few drops of essential oils for a sensory experience.
Swap Ingredients: Use clear glue alternatives (like silicone glue) if you prefer a different texture.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1: Can I use regular glue instead of clear glue?
A1: Yes, but the slime won’t be transparent and may have a different texture.

Q2: What if my slime is too sticky?
A2: Gradually add more contact lens solution until the desired consistency is achieved.

Q3: How long can I store my crystal clear slime?
A3: When kept in an airtight container, it can last for several weeks.

Q4: Can I make this slime without contact lens solution?
A4: The contact lens solution is essential for the slime’s activation; however, you can try using liquid starch as an alternative.

Suggestions:

Create themed slimes for holidays (like adding red and green for Christmas).
Host a slime-making party and provide various add-ins for everyone to enjoy.
Use the slime as a calming tool during stressful moments, squeezing and stretching it for relief.
