- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup warm water and the Borax powder and mix until the powder is dissolved.
- Add four tablespoons of the Borax solution in the ziplock freezer bag and mix until slime begins to form. Add additional Borax solution one tablespoon at a time if you need to thicken your slime. You will know your slime is ready when it starts to pull away from the side of the ziplock bag.
