Slime trends

    By: Colby B and Addy G

As you probably know, slime is taking over the world. Kids love this sticky, satisfying, and gooey mixture. Despite the fun, slime is causing a big glue shortage. If you search up slime you will notice the huge slimes that take up gallons of glue. Kids are selling slime on Ebay, Facebook, and Instagram and many other popular websites. If you want to help Elmers or other glue companies you can make no-glue slimes.

Another benefit is borax. Most  people use borax and hot water. This is an activator to the glue to create the slime. But, what most people don't know is that borax is really bad for your skin. It can cause 1st to 3rd degree burns.  As a replacement, some people use borax as a laundry detergent or baking soda and contact solution. To help Elmers you can make slime with this recipe below.

                                Recipe

1 cup of Model magic

1 cup of Shaving cream

1 teaspoon of Water

First, add a cup model magic into a bowl. Then, to just soften it up put in your water and shaving cream. Last, just knead it until a nice slimey, buttery, consistency.

We might of made slime sound bad with the borax and  glue shortage but it is really fun and attracting. We hope you use this recipe for your next or first slime.
