Congrats to my Brother!

This is the card I made my brother!
Hi!
The other day, I had a chance to make a card for my brother. He found out that he got into NC State, and I was so happy for him! I love him so much! He plays with me, makes stuff with me, and makes me laugh. I am so grateful to have him as a brother.
So, I made this simple card for him to congratulate him, not only for getting into NC State, but also for being an awesome brother!

DIY Red Velvet Cake Butter Slime!

Hello!
Red Velvet Cake Butter Slime

Today I am going to show you how to make butter slime! This is one of my favorite slimes! I found out this really cool method that turns out perfect for me!

These are the materials you will need :

Clear Glue
Model Magic (found at any craft store)
Laundry Detergent
Food Coloring (optional)
Mixing Bowl
Stirring Utensil
Air Tight Container
It spreads well, just like real butter!

The first step is to pour in 2 ounces of clear glue.

Next, take one ounce of model magic and mix it with the clear glue until it is well combined (I used my hands so it was easier)

If you want, you can add in a few drops of food coloring if your model magic is not colored.

Then, add in your laundry detergent little by little until it starts pulling away from the bowl. Knead with hands, if still sticky, add more laundry detergent.

Spread it, mold it, and squish it! If you want to play with it later, store in air tight container. I called mine red velvet cake butter slime! Have fun!

Another Slime Workshop!

These are the kids making fluffy slime!
Hi!
We had another slime workshop, but this time we did it for the older kids! It was a big success! The kids had so much fun! We started by introducing ourselves so we could get to know each other. The first slime we made was fluffy slime. We taught them step by step of how to make it. We experimented with different colors and different shades. Once we added in all of our ingredients we added in our contact solution little by little. If it was still sticky, we added in more. Then, we kept on kneading it until we had the perfect slime! We then put the slime in our containers so they could take it home.

The next slime we made was floam slime. We used micro floam beads to make it feel cooler. When we were done making it, we molded our floam into different shapes! We also made these slimes scented! This made it even more fun to play with(we made it watermelon scented) Just like the other slime workshop we had, we also sold slime kits on how to make fluffy slime. Huda and I had a lot of fun with the kids, and we will have another one February 2nd.

Testing Different Activators for Clear Slime!

This was the laundry detergent method. 
The Slime
is crystal clear!
Hi!
About two weeks ago I experimented and made two clear slimes with different activators. There are many methods on the internet on how to make clear slime.  I wanted to find out what was the best activator for clear slime, so I could use that method for making all my clear slime.

The two activators I tested:

*a mixture of contact solution & baking soda
*laundry detergent

The first one I tested out was contact solution with baking soda . I first poured in my glue into a mixing bowl, and in a separate bowl I mixed in contact solution and baking soda. I added my solution little at a time until it started pulling away from the bowl, then kneaded it with my hands until it wasn't sticky. Then, I put it in an air tight container for about two weeks. This one did not end up being clear. For some reason there is a thick layer of hard bubbles on top and the bottom is slightly clear. It was very stiff when I took it out of the container. This one did not work out for me, and I did not like this method.

I also tried out making clear slime with laundry detergent. Again, I poured my glue into my mixing bowl and added my laundry detergent little by little. (I used tide laundry detergent) Then, I knead it  until it was not sticky, and left it in air tight container for two weeks, just like the first one. After two weeks of waiting, it turned out to be crystal clear and very soft and stretchy! It was so awesome, and it is definitely worth the wait and experiment!

So, if you need a good activator for clear slime I recommend clear laundry detergent. It is easy, and turns out to be the perfect slime! If you are wondering why I don't use borax, it is because borax is toxic and not so safe for kids. Lots of kids got burned by making slime with borax.

I make slime so it is fun, and safe!
This is the saline solution/baking soda method.
It isn't clear at all.

First ever Slime Workshop

Hi!
 Today was a super fun day because Huda and I had our first Slime workshop where we taught kids how to make fluffy and jiggly slime! The first slime we made was fluffy slime. We had the measurements already in plastic cups and we told them the order of the ingredients, and what they should do. We let them choose whatever color they wanted so it would be so much more fun! We also made cool slime kits that teaches them how to make fluffy slime with exact measurements and directions. The kids enjoyed it so we decided to do another one on Jan. 30th. We are looking forward for that day to come!

DIY Icee Pen!

This is the icee pen I made!
Hi! Today I made this really cool icee pen.  This is a super cool decoration, and a very useful pen holder. It is cute and looks almost real!

These are the materials you will need to make this awesome DIY:
  • Plastic cup
  • Floam Balls/Sand 
  • Glue
  • Icee label printable
  • Pen
  • Cardboard
  • Tape
First, take a plastic cup and trace a circle with it onto cardboard and cut it out. Poke a circle in the middle and make it big enough so your pen can fit.

Next. take another plastic cup and mix in floam balls,glue, and food coloring to make the icee part (you can also use sand instead of floam balls)

Then, apply the icee mixture onto the cardboard circle and wait for it to dry.

Tape the circle on the top of the cup so that it doesn't fall off. Print out a label of the icee logo, or make your own  (copy a picture online like I did if you don't have a color printer)

Finally, take any pen you would like and stick it in the hole on top of your cup for the straw. And your DIY icee pen is complete!


This is me writing with the pen!

DIY Lava Lamp!

Hi! Today I am going to show you how to make your very own lava lamp! This is such an easy and fun experiment! You can use it for decoration, and play around with the different colors! These the the supplies you will need to make this cool DIY:


  • Baking Soda
    This is the red lava lamp I made!
  • Canola/Vegetable oil
  • Water
  • Food Coloring
  • Water bottle
  • Vinegar
First, put in about one tablespoon of baking soda into your water bottle.

Next, fill half the bottle with oil, along with a tablespoon of water.

Then, comes the fun part, put in 10 drops of whatever color food coloring you wish!

Finally, pour about two tablespoons of vinegar (you can also use apple cider vinegar) and quickly screw the cap on. 

Let the magic happen! It is so much fun to watch the little bubbles float around the bottle! 

The science behind this is that vinegar and oil don't mix well so they separate from each other, and the oil rises to the top because it has lower density than water. The vinegar goes to the bottom and reacts with the baking soda forming small bubbles of carbon dioxide gas that rise to the top and takes the colored vinegar. The gas escapes when it reaches the top and colored water falls back down causing this awesome lava affect!

How to make DIY Hot Chocolate Slime!

Hi! Today, I am going to show you how to make hot chocolate slime! This is a super fun slime, because it smells like real hot chocolate, looks realistic, and of course, super fun to play with! This is also great for decoration. Here are the materials you will need to make this awesome slime:

This is the hot choclolate slime I made, it looks so real!

  • White Glue (make sure it contains PVA & Elmers works the best)
  • Shaving Cream (optional, just makes it fluffy)
  • Lotion
  • Baby Oil
  • Cocoa powder/hot chocolate mix (this is optional as well, but it makes it smell super nice!)
  • Baking Soda (Don't use if using shaving cream)
  • Foam (Optional)
  • Brown paint/Food Coloring
  • Contact Solution
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Stirring Utensil
  • Air Tight Container
First, grab your mixing bowl and pour in half a cup of glue.

Next, add in 1/4 cup of shaving cream ( optional )

Then, add in a few squirts of lotion along with baby oil, these make the slime really soft and stretchy!

If you want the slime to smell like real hot chocolate add in two teaspoons of hot chocolate mix/cocoa powder (you don't have to)

Add in a few pinches of baking soda (if you used shaving cream skip this step)

Put in a little bit of brown paint/ food coloring.  Don't add too much or it will become hard!
Mix well!

Next, add in your contact solution little at a time and mix and repeat until your slime starts pulling away from the bowl, then pick it up with your hand, and knead it until it's not sticky. (If still sticky, add more contact solution, if hard, add some lotion) Adjust it however you want!

This is an optional step as well, but if you want it to be more realistic, then cut up little square shape marshmallows from foam and put them in the slime, and your slime is complete! If you want to keep your slime to play with later, store it in a air tight container, so it doesn't dry out!

DIY Teddy Bear Squishy!

Hi! Recently I made this really cool bear squishy made out of a neck pillow! I made a donut squishy before and it was so much fun, so I decided to show you guys how to make the same thing, but a bear this time! This Teddy Bear Squishy is so cute and comforting! These are the materials you will need for this activity:


  • Memory Foam ( You can get this in any memory foam pillow i got from neck pillow)
  • Puffy Paint/Fabric paint (from any craft store)
  • Scissors (ones that are easy to cut with I use big ones, but be careful!)
  • Plastic Gloves (You can also use Ziploc bags)
  • Plastic plate (or on anything you don't mind getting dirty)
First, Get your memory foam and cut it into a circle shape along with two ears (which are triangle shaped)
Next, smooth out your shapes as much as possible, keep in mind it doesn't have to be perfect!

Then, Put your gloves on and get the colors: orange, yellow, white, and black puffy paint. You can also play around with the colors and do whatever design you want!

What I did first is paint the whole entire circle with orange paint, along with the ears. I then painted a circle on the ears and stuck in on the top of the circle with paint, held it there for a minute. Next, I painted a big circle in the middle of the face (yellow) and drew a face (two eyes, a nose, and a mouth)

Finally, you want to let it dry overnight, and you will be done! I hope you try out this DIY Teddy Bear Squishy, and enjoy it as much as I did! Have Fun!
This is the squishy I made, it is so cute!
It is super soft and comforting!

Winter Slime Party!

This was me making the slime kits
Hi! Recently when I was in New York, my cousins and I had a slime party. I made cool slime kits for each of them including all the supplies they needed for making slime at home.  I taught them how to make fluffy slime, but included the supplies needed for floam, glitter, and jiggly slime. I also made a slime manual with instructions on how to make different kinds of slime. 
We had a lot of fun making our fluffy slime and playing with it. It was an enjoyable experience for everyone and I hope to do it again!


I made three slime kits for my three cousins
