A simple DIY guide to making shaving cream slime
Are you ready to dive into a fun, gooey, and exciting DIY project? Shaving foam slime is all the rage, offering endless hours of fun and creativity. Plus, it’s super easy to make! Let’s get slimy, the green way!
Why vegan, eco-friendly shaving foam?
Before we dive into the slime-tastic recipe, let’s chat about why choosing vegan, eco-friendly shaving foam is important. Traditional shaving creams can contain animal-derived ingredients and come in plastic packaging, which isn’t good for our furry friends or the planet. Now, let’s create some magical slime without any guilt!
What you’ll need
Vegan, eco-friendly shaving foam – Make sure it’s the foamy type, not the gel type.
School glue – Look for PVA (polyvinyl acetate) glue, which is usually clear or white and ensures your slime is non-toxic.
Baking soda – Just a pinch helps the slime activate.
Contact lens solution – This acts as a slime activator. Make sure it contains boric acid and sodium borate.
Food coloring (optional) – For that vibrant pop of color! Ensure it’s plant-based to keep your slime vegan-friendly.
A mixing bowl and spoon – Opt for materials like bamboo or recycled plastic to keep things eco-conscious.
Step-by-step guide to glorious slime
Now that you have your materials, let's make some slime!
1. Start with the glue. Pour about 4 ounces (half a cup) of school glue into your bowl.
2. Add the color. If you're using food coloring, now's the time to add a few drops to the glue and mix until you get the color you want.
3. Bring on the foam! Squeeze a generous amount of shaving foam into the bowl. The more you add, the fluffier your slime will be!
4. Baking soda time. Sprinkle in a pinch of baking soda and mix thoroughly.
5. Activate the goo. Slowly add the contact lens solution, mixing as you go. You'll notice the mixture begin to bind together and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
6. Knead your goo. When the mixture is firm enough, take it out of the bowl and start kneading with your hands. If it's too sticky, add a little more contact lens solution.
7. Play! Your shaving lather is now ready! Stretch it, squeeze it, and have fun!
Remember, always store your slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
