How to make slimes from cosmetics?

At the present time, such an anti-stress toy as slime is very popular among children and not only. You can buy it in the store, as well as make it yourself at home. To do this, use ordinary decorative or care cosmetics. Read about how to make slime out of it in the article.

You can make a slime yourself at home using a variety of ingredients. So, you can easily use water and salt, flour and shower gel, dishwashing detergent and starch, shaving foam, PVA glue and sodium tetraborate, toothpaste, shampoo and sugar, soda, boric acid and various skin products, some of which are cosmetic.

To make a slime from cosmetics, you need to choose the right cosmetic product, of which there are a great many on store shelves at the present time. Most often, a film mask or hand cream is taken to make a slime. When choosing a product, it is worth considering its composition. The ingredients it contains can have a big impact on the appearance of a child's anti-stress toy.

In general, it is best to choose creams with a thick consistency, which should also be hypoallergenic. We also recommend that you pay attention to the date of manufacture: an expired product for the manufacture of a toy will be unusable.

At the same time, we note that it is not at all necessary to buy creams with a high cost. An inexpensive jar of thick cream will be enough to make an antistress.

Besides, you can use foams or gel for washing, shaving cream, styling mousse and even decorative cosmetics, including lipstick and gloss, as well as eyeshadow. Of course, buying too expensive cosmetics for making a toy is also not worth it, since the quality of the toy does not depend on its cost. You can also use baby cosmetics.

To make a slime out of cream yourself, you will need 2 tablespoons of hand cream, one and a half tablespoons of dishwashing liquid, 4 tbsp. l. baby body oil and the same amount of flour. To give the toy color, dye is usually added to the composition. If you are making a toy for a small child, then it is recommended to use in the manufacture only those components that are proven and one hundred percent will not cause allergies.

The recipe is simple. First of all, hand cream and dishwashing detergent are mixed in the container. After that, flour and, if necessary, a dye are added to the composition. In this case, the flour should not be added immediately, but neatly and evenly, while constantly stirring the mixture to get rid of lumps. Next, you need to wait for the mixture to thicken, after which you need to knead it in your palms so that it becomes soft. Add oil as needed.

The advantage of lipstick is that it has a viscous texture, making it an excellent component for creating a slime. Moreover, if you use lipstick, then the need for an additional purchase of a dye disappears by itself.

So, to create a slime, you need 150 milliliters of PVA glue, 1 tube of lipstick and 0.5 teaspoons of sodium tetraborate.

The glue must be poured into a container, and crumbled lipstick should be added there. All this must be kneaded with a spoon and mixed so that the mixture becomes homogeneous and without lumps. Further, sodium tetraborate is added to the components, which contributes to the density of the mass. After that, the slime must be kneaded well in your hands. The readiness of the toy will be evidenced by the fact that it no longer sticks to the palms.

The use of hair mousse in the manufacture of slime helps to make the anti-stress toy softer, more airy and elastic.

You need 1 tablespoon of PVA glue and the same amount of a film mask, 3 teaspoons of the main component, a teaspoon of starch, as well as a drop of cosmetic oil, 0.5 teaspoon of water, the same amount of cream and 5 drops of sodium tetraborate.

First of all, you need to pour the required amount of mask and PVA glue into the container. All this is well mixed, after which hair mousse is added to the mixture. Next, starch is added to the composition, while constantly stirring the mass. After that, the remaining components are added to the ingredients, if desired, you can add dye to them. In the last turn, tetraborate is introduced into the composition. Next, knead the slime in the palms. Ready!

Ordinary dry eyeshadows in various shades are an excellent substitute for dyes. They will be able to help you paint the slime toy in the desired color.

So, to make a toy, you need 50 milliliters of glue and the same amount of water, 5 tablespoons of shaving foam, sodium tetraborate and dry shadows.

Mix water and glue in a container. In this case, it is necessary to clearly ensure that the glue is well dispersed, and the composition is homogeneous. After that, foam is added to the container, after which everything is mixed well, trying to make the composition homogeneous and airy. Then tetraborate is added dropwise to the mixture. The toy is kneaded in the hands. It should become elastic, after which it must be laid out in molds and sprinkled with crumbled eyeshadow. After that, the mixture is stirred and kneaded again.

Ready! If you did everything correctly and clearly according to the instructions, then the slime should turn out to be of a uniform color, while the shadows will not crumble from it.

Slime film mask is also an excellent ingredient that can replace PVA glue and the base of the entire mixture. You will need 3 tablespoons of the main component and 2 teaspoons of washing gel.

Pour the film mask into the container, and then the washing gel. All this must be mixed well and quickly, then knead and knead, ensuring that the mass is thick and elastic.

Another good product suitable for making a viscous and elastic slime. You only need 1 teaspoon of the main component, 90 milliliters of PVA glue, 5 drops of gel for washing and the same amount of cosmetic oil, as well as half a teaspoon of sodium tetraborate for thickening. If desired, you can add a dye or ordinary paints to the composition, which will give your toy the desired color.

To prepare the slime, first of all, you need to mix the cream and glue well, and then add paint and gel to the mixture. All this is mixed, then the oil and thickener are added. Then the mass is thoroughly mixed, and the slime is thoroughly kneaded in the hands.

To make your toy of high quality, do not use expired cosmetics for its manufacture. Otherwise, its basic qualities may deteriorate markedly. The same goes for the other ingredients in the toy.

It often takes a long time for the mixture to thicken completely and well. This usually takes at least 15 minutes.

Much attention should be paid to those recipes in which sodium tetraborate is present. You need to be careful with him. It is recommended to add it carefully and gradually, since it contributes to the density of the mass and, if you overdo it, then the slime can turn out to be inelastic.
