Tips and Tricks for This Craft
I tried the different formulas, and the *Matte Mod Podge* definitely works the best.
Store your slime in an airtight container to play with again and again. Keep it stored in a cool, dry place for the best results.
If you find your slime is too sticky, add a little bit more baking soda and/or laundry detergent. Continue to mix until you get that smooth slime texture you’re looking for!
It’s so fun, and you can dye it a variety of colors simply using food coloring. I think next I’m going to try a few different colors and see what happens!

My kids LOVE slime! Great to have a “borax-less” recipe.
my granddaugters favorite thing to do
Making without borax isn’t as hard on your hands. Pretty easy to make. Just gave it a 4.5 because I do t like slime, grandkids love it though- you do what you have to do!
Cheaper than elmers glue recipe
I love that this is a safer way for young children to be able to play with something so fun.
Great project, will making some with the grandkids when they visit in the summer.
My kids are going to love this!
The recipe itself looks easy, but it seems like an expensive way to use ModPoge, which usually goes a very long way due to painting it on surfaces. Can regular, white glue be used instead?
First off, love that it doesn’t use Borax. We had everything to make up a few batches. Fun was had by all!
I use mod podge on most of my painting projects. It gives them the perfect lasting touch.
