To make the best slime you have to start with the right slime ingredients. Trying to substitute the wrong ingredients for slime just doesn’t cut it. A few days ago we made a free printable slime recipes sheet as a handy resource and reference to keep on hand. To go along with it, I wanted to share a list of our recommended supplies for making slime. This makes a great idea for a DIY slime kit too. Add the printable to your slime supplies and you can try out a cool slime recipe anytime.

Would you mind adding the recommended salt-to-water ratio for the saline solution? I don’t see that here. Obviously I could just make that up, but if you’ve had success with a particular ratio, I’d love to hear it.
Thanks for all you do! This site was exactly what I had in mind when I was thinking of experimenting with different slime recipes.

You can not use a salt water saline solution for making slime! You need a saline solution that contains sodium borate and boric acid which are the main slime activators! Thanks for thinking of us and feel free to email [email protected] with any specific questions as I can answer them faster!
