Cool toy for children - "Lizun" or "Slime". Did you know it's easier than ever.

In this article, we will analyze the easiest ways to make homemade handgam or slime yourself, and now slime. But first we will tell (maybe someone does not know yet) what kind of miracle this is.

What is slime or slime?

Immediately Video:

Surely you have seen or even purchased such an unusual jelly “bad” for your child. It can still stretch and stretch, take any shape and not stick to your hands.

In the common people, this toy is called a “lizun”, but in fact (where it came from - from the States) its name is in English “handgum” (handgum). It is not difficult to guess - "hand" (hand), and "gum" (chewing gum).

And today you can often hear - how to make Slime at home with your own hands? What is slime and what is it for? From English "Slime" is a children's toy made of jelly-like material, pleasant to the touch, able to stretch and assemble back to its original state.

Again, the same slime in a simple way! Slimers can make such a sticky jelly out of any material with their own hands and improvised means (although for some you still have to go to a store or pharmacy).

And now let's start making a slime at home - we will make a slime like in a store or even better.

How to make slime (slime) at home without sodium tetraborate

There are several simple ways or recipes for making boron-free slime (sodium tetraborate) at home. It's safe for your kids!

The easiest way - from water and starch without glue at all

All we need is starch and water. Mix both ingredients together in equal proportions or 2 parts water and 3 parts starch. And we get our homemade slime. For a firmer consistency, you need to add more starch. And in order for it to become bright - a dye.

You need to understand that such a toy will not be quite the one that we often see. But still, the kids will be happy. And use only warm water.

Slime made from starch and PVA glue

In this case, we need PVA glue and the freshest one is better. Separately, mix water and starch, then add dye (you can use sparkles with essential oils). Mix thoroughly without lumps. Lastly, pour in the glue. For convenience, use a bag instead of a container.

Ingredients: PVA glue - 50 mg., Water - 100 mg., Starch (you can soda) - 1 tablespoon, dye ("brilliant green", gouache, food coloring).

The same can be done with baking soda used in the kitchen. That is, instead of starch with water, mix soda.

From shampoo and glue "Titan"

This time we take high-quality, not expired glue "Titan". You can find it at any hardware store.

Take a bag and pour two parts of shampoo (absolutely any) and three parts of glue into it. It is worth shaking a little until completely mixed and thickened, and the slime is ready. To make the toy look more beautiful, pour a little dye and glitter into the shampoo before glue.

How to make a slime (slime) at home - a store option

To make a slime at home, as in a store, we need an additional (main) ingredient - sodium tetraborate (both a liquid solution and a dry powder are suitable).

Main elements:

  • PVA glue - 100 grams,
  • 1 vial of sodium tetraborate (4%) or if the dry version - mix 1 tablespoon of the powder with half a glass of water,
  • dye for color option.

- Instead of tetraborate, you can use Borax powder, which is available for free purchase in pharmacies.

Manufacturing:

  • take a suitable container and pour glue into it (the more glue, the larger the toy),
  • carefully add the dye (do not overdo it, otherwise the slime will get dirty), mix until smooth,
  • slowly pour in the boron solution (so that the slime does not stick to your hands and is not liquid, you can add borax more than it should be), mix thoroughly and we get a jelly mass,
  • then, to remove excess moisture, it is worth blotting with a napkin (and for the future, when the child plays, it is best to put the handgum on paper - this way less lint and debris stick to it)
  • and the last - put the resulting clot in a bag and crumple for 3-5 minutes, and now it's time to play with it.
  • When making, do not use cold liquid (water or shampoo),
  • Try not to put it on products with pile (including cats and dogs),
  • Homemade slime, although safe, is not recommended to eat and put in your mouth,
  • To make it smell delicious, mix it with essential oils,
  • The sparkles inside the slime look very nice,
  • Choose a new adhesive base, and not lying somewhere on a shelf,
  • Store in a closed container and in a cool place
  • But even if the homemade slime is a little dry, place it in warm water.

And another DIY slime recipe - It's just a bomb!

Shaving foam slime - aqua

  • Pour 125 mg glue into a separate container. A prerequisite is that it must be thick and of good quality.
  • Add some emerald acrylic paint. Stir and get a thick dark mass.
  • It's time to lighten it - add shaving foam, a lot of foam. Gently mix the foam with the colored mass. Reminds me of ice cream or sweet cream.
  • Pour some water and 15 grams of boric acid into the jar, and a couple of drops of hand soap.
  • Stir with a wooden stick and the thickener is ready. Pour the mixture into the colored foam and stir again.
  • It turns out a real slime with your own hands.

Slime video

In this video tutorial, Sergey from the Galileo channel will tell you how to make a Lizun toy for your own use without much effort:

Which of the children, and even adults, will deny themselves a funny game with a slime? Make it with my own hands It will take a little time, and even fewer materials will be needed. There are several ways to make such an interesting toy from scrap materials.

  • Half a teaspoon of boron.
  • A small bottle of colorless glue.
  • Any harmless dye.
  • Water.

To prepare the mass, from which the slime will eventually turn out, you need to take any two deep bowls. Be sure to need two containers, because a two-part solution is being prepared. Pour a glass of water into one bowl (take warm water) and add boron. The resulting mass should be well mixed to obtain a homogeneous consistency.

In the second bowl, you need to mix 100 milliliters of water, 30 grams of discolored glue. To give color, use a dye, it must be added at this stage. Once again, mix everything well.

Then you should mix the two components. To do this, carefully pour the contents of the first bowl into the second. In the process of connecting the two parts, the slime will gradually begin to acquire the correct consistency, and the whole mass will be stretchy.


The process of preparing the slime is over, you can start exciting games, most importantly, make sure that the children do not try it with their mouths. You need to store such a slime in a well-closing container.

Making slimes from glue and starch

Making slime from glue and starch with your own hands

Another option that is even simpler than the previous one.

  • Liquid starch.
  • PVA glue.
  • Plastic bag.
  • Dye.

Lizun - This is a toy for children, so all materials should be as natural as possible. If there is no food coloring, you can replace it with gouache paints. Be careful, if the child is allergic to any dyes, you can make the slime colorless. Particular attention should be paid to the production time of the glue, it must be fresh, the slime will not work out of the old glue.

You need to take a tight plastic bag and pour about 70 milliliters of liquid starch into it. Often such starch is used during washing, this is how it differs from food starch. If this is not the case, then you can take the usual one, only it should be diluted: one part of water to two parts of starch.

Following the starch, send a few drops of natural dye into the bag, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise, during the games, the slime will stain not only the hands, but also the surface.
Next, you need to add about 25 grams of PVA glue (be sure to mix the bottle with glue well beforehand).

Now it is good to close or tie the bag and mix thoroughly until the contents look like a thick mass.

You may not be able to achieve the right consistency right away. Don't despair right away, because the alteration will only take a few minutes. The main thing is to find a middle ground and mix all the ingredients in the right proportions.

Store also in a closed container to protect from dust. The service life of such a slime is about a week.

Lizun from soda

Such a toy can be given to children only in the presence of adults. This is due to the fact that it contains detergent. It is necessary to make sure that after the games the child thoroughly washed his hands.

  • Detergent.
  • Baking soda.
  • Water.
  • Natural dye.

Pour a small amount into the prepared dish. detergent, add water and dye. With these ingredients, you can also adjust the density of the resulting mass simply by adding water or detergent.

In the resulting mass, add soda and mix well. The resulting mixture should have sufficient density. If too much soda is added, you can dilute it with water to the desired consistency.

The color of the resulting slime can be adjusted by adding dyes. That's all, the soda slime is ready for play. Make sure that the child does not taste such a toy.

Another easy way to make slime.

  • Your favorite shampoo
  • Shower gel or dish detergent.

In prepared dishes, mix equal amounts of shampoo and shower gel or dish detergent. All ingredients should be of a homogeneous consistency and not contain any additional substances, such as scrub particles, which are often added to shower gels. The color of the slime you get will depend on the materials used.

All components must be mixed well and put them in the same container in which they were mixed in the refrigerator. The resulting mass should be there for at least a day, only after this time the slime will harden to the correct consistency, and it will be possible to play with it. It must be stored only in the refrigerator so that it does not melt and does not lose its shape, in a closed container.

Make sure that the slime stays clean, if there is a lot of dust on it, then it should be thrown away and a new one should be prepared. This toy will last about one month.

Making such slimes at home is not difficult. The only nuance that needs to be taken into account is that for its manufacture you need to take a non-flowing washing powder, but a gel-like one. Unfortunately, it is impossible to replace it with liquid soap or shower gel, because these products contain other components.

  • Gel laundry detergent.
  • Office glue.
  • Natural dye.
  • Medical or other thin rubber gloves.
  • Storage container.

It is necessary to pour about one-fourth cup of clerical glue into the prepared container. Glue can be more or less, it depends only on your preferences in the size of the slime. The more glue, the bigger slime you get.

Add a natural dye of the desired color to the glue and mix the components well so that the glue acquires a uniform color.

In the resulting mass, you need to add 40 grams of gel-like powder. Again, mix well the resulting mass. Over time, this mass will become sticky and will have the consistency of putty. Make sure that the mass does not get too thick. If this happens, then a few drops of powder should be added.

Next, you need to put on gloves, get the resulting mass from the container and start kneading. The process is approximately the same as if you were kneading dough. During kneading, the slime will come out excess fluid, if available, and the mass will become soft and elastic.

Store the resulting slime in a tightly closed container. If you notice that it has begun to melt or has become too soft, then you can send it to the refrigerator.

Slime from flour

This cooking option is most suitable for young children. If you use dyes from natural substances, then it becomes completely harmless and not dangerous to the health of the baby. The only disadvantage of these dyes is that they are not so bright, but harmless.

  • Regular flour.
  • Hot water.
  • Cold water.
  • Natural dye.

It is necessary to take a small bowl and pour 400 grams of flour into it. You can sift it through a sieve, so the future mass will be more homogeneous and easier to knead.

Then we add a quarter cup of warm water to it, it should be just warm, you can not pour boiling water.


When the mass is well mixed, you can add a few drops of natural dye to it and mix well again. As a result, the mass should turn out sticky.

We send to a cold place for 4 hours. When the whole mass has cooled down and acquired desired shape you can let the kids play.

A very interesting slime can turn out if you make it magnetic, it also has the property of glowing in the dark. There is no need to buy such a slime in the store, you can easily make it yourself.

  • Already familiar boron.
  • Water.
  • Office glue.
  • iron oxide.
  • neodymium magnet.

Mix everything very carefully until the boron is completely dissolved in water. It's cooked in one pot.

In the second bowl, you need to mix 10 milliliters of water and 30 grams of stationery glue. As before, everything is mixed very well and a coloring matter is added to the resulting mass. If you add paint at this stage, which contains phosphorus, you get a slime that glows in the dark.

Carefully mix the two components of the future slime into a homogeneous mass. The main thing is not to rush and mix everything well, then the mass will turn out to be the desired density.

The resulting mass must be decomposed into flat surface, and add iron oxide to its middle.


Lizun, which will be magnetized, is ready. Now it can be moved with a magnet on a flat surface.

Sometimes such situations happen that it seems that all the ingredients are correct and they did not deviate from the instructions, but the slime still did not work out. It's all about the parts you used to make it. Each material is significantly different, different manufacturers, using the same components, can produce a product at the output that is not similar to its counterpart. Therefore, you should not strictly adhere to the described proportions, depending on your materials, their amount may differ. Don't give up right away, just experiment.

A slime that meets all standards should be removed in a homogeneous mass without much effort from the dishes where you store it.

If your toy is very sticky, this can be seen from the threads that will follow the spoon. When you touch it with your fingers, it is too sticky and does not lag behind well, you need to dilute it slightly. This can be done with water or starch.

When your slime stretches, but practically does not stick, it means that, on the contrary, there is too much liquid. To give density, you need to add a little glue or the main ingredient that was used for cooking.

Do not be afraid to experiment, only by trial and error you will be able to choose the right consistency, and your children will enjoy a new, and most importantly, toy that is absolutely not harmful to the health of the baby.

Lizun is one of the favorite children's toys. It has the consistency of soft chewing gum, but does not stick to hands.

Let's find out some of the easiest ways and life hacks on how to make a slime at home.

Glue Slime Recipes

The most common option is the use of glue. Thanks to this component, the slime does not break and retains its shape. What kind of glue can you make a slime with?
Here are the three most popular options:

  • you can see how to make a slime with clear PVA glue or white glue;
  • in the work you can use a glue stick;
  • super-strong glue-moment is also suitable, but it should be handled with extreme care.

The first simple way that we will talk about is a slime made from sodium tetraborate, PVA glue and water.

You will need one hundred grams of fresh glue, a 4% sodium solution, and a coloring ingredient like gouache or brilliant green.

Pour ¼ cup into a special bowl for cooking plain water. It is better to hold it in advance room conditions to get a warm temperature.

Next, pour in the glue until a thick consistency is formed. After the glue, tetraborate (the whole vial) and the coloring component are added. All that remains after adding the ingredients is to wrap the mixture in cellophane and mash. Slime is ready!

Now let's find out how to make Velcro from stationery and silicate glue. This method is not so popular, but it allows you to get an equally high-quality toy.

In addition to glue, use alcohol and a coloring ingredient.

Mix alcohol and glue in equal parts (you can take vodka, but then it should be one and a half times more).

Color the mixture in the desired color, stir, remove from the container - and wash under cold water. After hardening with a slime, you can play.

Do you know how to make a licker out of glue and shampoo? If you decide to use this recipe, choose Titanium glue, as it will allow the slime to retain its strength for a long time.

Add shampoo to the bag - and immediately fill it with glue (it should be one and a half times more). Tie up the bag and shake. This will give you an even mixture that will thicken in just a few minutes.

Many are interested in how to make a transparent slime without sodium tetraborate. This component at home can be replaced with soda. And if you add dyes, our slime will be colored.

Let's make it from PVA glue and soda:

  • make the glue more liquid with water (for example, by mixing 100 and 15 ml);
  • color the mixture (food coloring will not stain your hands);
  • stir your workpiece until the paint dissolves;
  • Mix water and baking soda separately. Pour the finished porridge to the rest of the ingredients;
  • mix the mass thoroughly, wrap in a film or cellophane - and shake;
  • if you want the slime to thicken more, keep shaking or stirring. You can try adding more baking soda and glue.

Remember! It is better to store such a slime in a closed container, as it has a short service life, and without proper conditions it will deteriorate even faster.
