How to Make It
Pour your glue into a bowl.
Start with 1 cup of white glue.
Add shaving foam.
Add 3-4 cups of shaving foam (the more you add, the fluffier it gets). Stir gently until it’s thick and airy.
Mix in the saline.
Add 3 tablespoons of saline solution, one at a time, and keep stirring until the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead it well.
Take it out and knead with your hands until it’s soft and not sticky anymore. It might take a minute or 4-5, but it’s worth it — that’s when the magic happens!
Optional: Add a few drops of vanilla extract or essential oil for a soft scent.
Tips for Perfect Slime
- If it’s still sticky, add a tiny bit more saline — a few drops go a long way.
- Want it extra fluffy? Add more shaving foam!
- Keep it in an airtight container so it stays soft for days.

FAQ
Do I need clear glue?
Nope! White school glue works perfectly. It gives the slime a soft, opaque look that fits the “cloud” vibe.
Why isn’t my slime forming?
If it’s not coming together, just add a few more drops of saline and keep kneading. It’ll smooth out as you work it.
How long does it last?
Stored in an airtight container, it usually stays soft and stretchy for a 3-5 days.
Can I add color or glitter?
Yes! Add food coloring or fine glitter during mixing for a fun twist — just don’t overdo it if you want to keep that fluffy texture.
