  • Question
    What if I don't have Elmer's Glue? Can I use a different kind of glue?
    Community Answer
    You can use clear glue, or any type of liquid craft glue. If you use a glue stick you will have to microwave it.

  • Question
    What should I do if I don't have Borax or Tide or liquid starch?
    Community Answer
    If you don't have those items, you could mix 1/4 cup of shampoo and 1/2 tsp of table salt. Put it in the freezer for 15 minutes, but don't let it freeze.

  • Question
    Can I make this with shampoo?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but it will be very soapy, and you can't stretch it or play with it. If you leave it out for more than a minute, it will turn into liquid again.

    How much borax did you use in this recipe?

    Can we add anything else rather than borax?
    Community Answer
    You can try using liquid detergent as it reacts just like borax. Just use a fair amount.
