Initially, the slides included borax (sodium tetraborate - a salt of boric acid), guar gum, and minerals. Now manufacturers use new substances to make toys, and sometimes the recipe is kept secret. You can make a slice with your own hands, for this you will not need complex, expensive components. There are a number of original ways to make a slime from PVA glue, as well as other improvised means.

PVA Recipes

PVA glue (PVA) is an emulsion of polyvinyl acetate with water. After mixing with a thickener, PVA reacts, while the liquid mass is compacted, a slice is obtained from it (sometimes it is mistakenly called a slider). PVA is an excellent base for lizun, giving it softness and elasticity.

Any glue, even the most inexpensive, works as a raw material for a toy. But it’s worth acquiring a high-quality composition, otherwise the finished slime will not last long. The best for slides are considered analogues of PVA: Japanese White School Glue and American Elmers.

Brands of adhesives that can also be used to make slides:

• "Ray";
• "Navigator";
• "PVA-M Extra Lacra";
• Berlingo ("Berlingo");
• Brauberg (Brauberg);
• Attomex ("Attomex");
• Norman ("Norman");
• Staff ("Staff").

If necessary, you can replace the universal or office PVA with a construction one, the quality of the product will not suffer, but it will be possible to make lizuns in large volumes. As the glue for the slimes will serve as "Moment Stolyar", joiner's compositions "Expert", "Tex", also "Super-PVA" from "Moment" is also suitable.

In order not to waste time on the use of broken glue, you can preliminarily conduct a simple check. It is necessary to take two sheets of paper, grease with glue, attach to each other. After 10 minutes, you can evaluate the quality of gluing: if the sheets are firmly held together, PVA is quite suitable for creating slides.

A huge number of recipes for lizuns, products from polymer soft clay, dough and other crafts can be found on the Trum-Trum channel. Below are the most popular PVA-based slice recipes.

Soft and slippery slime

The simplest way to make a traditional slime at home is to mix PVA and soda. For this purpose, you need a list of components and devices:

• bottle of liquid PVA 125 ml;
• ½ teaspoon of soda;
• a glass of water (slightly warmed up);
• gouache of any color;
• kneading dishes;
• wooden stick.

Next, do the slice in stages:

1. Pour glue into the container. Shake it beforehand to thicken the mass if it has peeled off.
2. Take a wooden stick, type a little gouache that matches it in color. Dripping paint in glue.Stir to obtain a uniformly colored substance.
3. Separately, prepare a special solution: combine water, soda, achieve complete dissolution.
4. Pour about a teaspoon of soda solution into the glue mass, mix for 3 minutes. Sometimes a slice is not steep enough, then you need to introduce another teaspoon of the solution into it, mix again. As a result, the lizun should become soft, elastic.

Anti stress balls

To make balls at home, you will also need PVA (125 ml), soda in the amount of 0.5 teaspoon, 2 cups of hot water, gouache and 15 g of foam "ball" plasticine. The latter can have any name, but Lori, Centrum are considered verified brands. You can make a slice from non-working plasticine, which is no longer suitable for modeling. In an extreme case, instead of plasticine, they take a piece of regular foam and crumble it into separate balls. The procedure will be as follows:

1. Put the balls in a bowl, pour hot water (a glass). Stir immediately, drain the liquid. After washing off the glue base, the crispy balls will be ready for work (this step will not be required for unpainted foam).
2. Pour elements with PVA glue. To prevent air bubbles inside the slime, pour the composition along the walls for smooth drainage.
3. Introduce gouache into the glue. You can choose absolutely any color.
4. Dissolve soda in a glass of water. Add a soda solution to the foam by teaspoon until the mass becomes sufficiently thick.

The finished lizun can be divided into two parts and only then can they be painted - each in its own color. After the slimes are combined and gently mixed to achieve a marble effect. Air will help to thicken the toy completely: the lizun should be left in an open bowl for 20 minutes. Thanks to the presence of foam balls, it will be a pleasure to knead the toy in your hands.

PVA and shampoo slime

As a thickener for PVA, shampoo can be used, while the proportion is 3: 1. You will also need food coloring, gouache or any other paint. All the ingredients you just need to mix with each other, color. In order for the mass to find the desired texture, it is laid out in a plastic bag, knead with your hands until thickened. For greater elasticity, the composition of the adhesive should be even greater (4: 1). Instead of shampoo, you can use liquid soap.

PVA and Toothpaste Slime

From a toothpaste, a slice of sufficient density is not always obtained, but it's worth a try. One tube of the cheapest paste needs to be poured into a container, add 125 ml of PVA glue there, mix well, add a little dry dye. After the mass must be left for 2 days, top cover with a lid or plastic bag. After the specified time, the slime will reach the desired consistency, you can play with it.

PVA and soda glue slime

There are various methods for making a slice of PVA glue with soda. The easiest and fastest option is to prepare a soda solution (5 g per 100 ml of water) and pour it in small portions into the glue. After mixing, the slime will be ready! The second recipe involves the additional introduction of a detergent. The rules for the preparation of lizun are as follows:

• combine 0.5 tablespoon of dish detergent with 1 tablespoon of soda;
• mix the mass well;
• mix the resulting substance with PVA in a ratio of 1: 1;
• add any dye;
• transfer the solution into a bag, rinse the slice with your hands again;
• put the bag in the refrigerator for 1 hour to reduce stickiness and further thickening;
• to make the slice smoother, you can mix a little glycerin into it.

Recipe with sodium tetraborate and glue

Sodium tetraborate is a pharmacy drug that is sold at the lowest price (from 10 rubles per bottle of 30 ml). This boric acid antiseptic helps to make the most high-quality and beautiful slimes. Preparing a toy from this drug is very simple. You need to take PVA, dye it in any color or leave it white, then inject sodium tetraborate in ½ teaspoon. Usually 2-3 servings are enough, depending on the initial thickness of the glue.Next, you need to mix the product to get a real slime.

There is also a recipe for fluffy slime or fluffy based on borax:

1. Take 3 cups of shaving foam, squeeze it from the bottle into any container. Mix foam with dye (you need to take dry pigment, it is best to use food).
2. Add ½ cup PVA glue, mix again. Add ½ teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, stir.
3. Gently pour a tablespoon of sodium tetraborate. When stirring, fluffy immediately begins to move away from the edges and bottom of the dishes.

You need to knead the slime until its stickiness disappears. If the toy continues to stick, you can add some shaving foam. When the slime is liquid, another small portion of sodium tetraborate is added.

Glue and Persila Slime

To prepare the slime, you can take any washing gel. Persil shows excellent performance, and Eared Nannies, Tide, Weasel are also suitable. It is enough to mix 100 g of PVA and 2 tablespoons of liquid powder. It is better to mix such a tool with gloves, using disposable dishes. Due to the harmful effects of washing powder, it is forbidden to give a ready-made slime for children to play with.

Flour and glue

Flour works well as a thickener in the composition of slime: you can take ordinary wheat without sifting. For 2 tablespoons of flour, you need to prepare 100 ml of any PVA, as well as a teaspoon of lens liquid. The recipe is simple, you do not need to cook anything. The method for preparing the slime is as follows:

• dilute flour in PVA to completely remove the lumps (you can use a blender or whisk);
• tint the mass with food color;
• pour in the lens solution and mix the substance well, it should immediately become dense, elastic;
• if the finished slime is liquid, you can add a little more flour to it or add starch.

PVA and glue stick

The composition of the adhesive pencil usually contains the same components as in PVA, the only difference is in the shape and presence of some thickeners. For this recipe you will need one glue stick, liquid dye, sodium tetraborate. The pencil should be removed from the tube completely, melt in a microwave oven until melted with a small amount of water, add dye, mix the product. After that, sodium tetraborate should be introduced dropwise into it, while stirring, until a lizun is obtained.

Puzzle Adhesive

You can also make a slice of clerical glue for puzzles. This glue is transparent, but due to the introduction of other components, the slimes will also be dull, soft and very elastic. Here is a set of components:

• glue for puzzles - 100 g;
• PVA - 125 ml;
• any pigments, gouache;
• ½ cup shaving foam;
• 4 drops of sodium tetraborate.

First you need to mix the PVA with the dye, then you can enter the foam. Separately combine sodium tetraborate and puzzle glue. After connecting both masses by intensive mixing. If you add another dye to the second part of the product, when combining the parts, you can get a two-color lysun.

Stationery glue slimes

This slice after the work is soft, spreading, but not sticky. It is necessary to take 100 ml of stationery glue of any brand, as well as 100 ml of cold water. Put glue in a container, pour water. After using a spatula or spoon, make a lump of glue, as if knocking it into a single whole. Get the clot further, continue to knead it with your hands (you can put it in a plastic bag).

Another recipe for making lizun is this:

• take 100 ml of boiling water, dissolve a tablespoon of salt in it;
• tint the liquid in the desired shade;
• after cooling, pour 2 tablespoons of glue;
• leave the product for 20 minutes without stirring;
• begin to intensively interfere with the solution, as a result of which a clot of glue will form at the bottom;
• to catch the future slime, knead with hands;
• if the slime sticks, it must once again be thrown into the salt solution, then again removed and kneaded.

Clay "Titan"

From the transparent "Titan" you can also make a great slime. Only 3 tablespoons of this glue, a little dye and 2 tablespoons of very thick shampoo will be required.All components must be mixed, put for an hour in a container, tightly closed. Then the slime can be used for the game.

Silicate glue

Silicate glue makes beautiful transparent slimes - soft, elastic. Do not confuse this glue with silicone: the latter is a sealant that is not suitable for creating a toy. You need to take the following components:

• 2 tablespoons of glue;
• 1 teaspoon of liquid detergent (any);
• 1 tablespoon of shaving foam;
• dye.

First, paint, foam, glue are mixed, then a gel-like detergent or washing agent is introduced into the mass. Too thin a slime can be thickened with an extra volume of shaving foam.

There is another recipe for "silicate" lizun with sparkles:

• pour a glass of cold water into the container;
• throw 5 ice cubes into the water;
• add a teaspoon of soda;
• after the ice has melted, add spangles and 3 tablespoons of silicate glue;
• knead all the glue into a tight clot with a spatula;
• get the slime, knead with your hands.

Melt the glue stick

Melt the glue stick is very simple: just remove it from the plastic packaging, cut into pieces, add a teaspoon of water, put in the microwave. It is advisable to heat the glue in the defrost mode. You can also melt a pencil in a water bath. After you need to drip 3-4 drops of sodium tetraborate, and the lizun will be ready.

Wallpaper Adhesive Slime Recipe

Wallpaper glue is a suitable tool for creating slimes, from which you can weld a transparent or slightly unclear slime. It is necessary to take 50 ml of water, a tablespoon of dry wallpaper glue. Pour the powder in parts, each time mixing the mass well. After you need to warm the glue a little in the microwave, leave it to ripen for half an hour. After the specified time, the slime will be ready, you just need to knead it well with your hands.
