Instructions To Make No Glue Slime
Okay, so now you have taken the time to gather all of the ingredients.
What are you going to do to make sure the no glue slime is ready to go? You are going to want to focus on the instructions we are going to give here.
We highly recommend doing this in a place that is safe and is not going to get in the way of what you are doing to prepare the slime.
1. Mix Food Coloring With Gel Conditioner
This is going to be the first step and a key one.
You are going to take out the bowl and pour in the gel conditioner. You are going to pour in 1/2 cup. This will be more than enough to begin.
You are then going to add 2-3 drops of the food coloring. Begin to stir the mixture until it is fully mixed. This is going to lead to the color changing.
2. Add Cornstarch
Now that you are satisfied with the mixture, you are going to add in the final ingredient.
This is going to be the cornstarch.
This is going to help create the texture that you are hoping for and it’s essential to take your time mixing it. This is how you are going to get things right.
You are going to add a cup of the cornstarch and mix it with the spoon. It will become paste-like over the next minute or so.
Now, you are going to add another 1/2 cup.
You want to make sure it feels and looks thick as that is how you are going to get the right consistency.
3. Press The Dough With Your Hands
At this point, you are going to have a thick consistency that is going to be tough to work with. This is fine as that is what you are looking for.
Now, you are going to begin to use your hands.
You are going to want to press down into the mixture and begin to squeeze it. This is going to “knead” the dough. This is key and it has to be done with as much effort as possible to ensure it mixes well. This can be quite soothing.
Let’s assume you feel it’s not the right consistency still. You are going to want to add another 1/2 cup of cornstarch. This is going to help out big time.
We recommend doing this slowly. If you feel it doesn’t need 1/2 cup, then it’s fine to add less. This is up to you and based on what is in front of you. It needs to remain smooth.
We also recommend taking the time to make sure things are sticky.
This can be done by adding a little bit of gel conditioner to the mixture too. You are going to have to adjust as you can and it will work like a charm.
This is why we enjoy working with these ingredients compared to other ones because they are easier to navigate around and will be forgiving.
4. Place In Airtight Container
So, is the slime ready to go?
You are going to complete the final step.
This is going to include finding an airtight container and putting the mixture into it. This is going to help it settle. You are going to want to leave it in the container for a few hours.
This is going to help it settle.
You are then going to be able to use it and it should be usable for a while as required!

This is going to help personalize the slime and that is great for those who are going to be working with kids. We adore this step and think this is how you are going to customize it the right way.

This is straightforward as it’s going to be sparkly. Why not go with something that is going to look like this? It’s going to be a breath of fresh air.
