With its rich, glossy black colour and simple ingredients, this slime recipe is easy to make and seriously fun to knead. We’ll walk you through how to get that perfect texture, how to colour it just right, and how to keep your slime fresh for days of play.
Helpful Tips:
What’s the best way to colour black slime?
We highly recommend using black acrylic paint to colour your slime. It gives the slime a deep, rich shade, and it’s really inexpensive (ours comes from the dollar store). Black food colouring also works (though it doesn’t make the slime quite as dark), while mica powder will give the slime a pearlescent shimmer.
What glue is used in this black slick recipe?
Clear glue is recommended to keep your black slime looking really dark and rich. It also makes a really shiny slime that’s super stretchy and smooth. You can also use white glue to make your black slime, but without a lot more paint it will make the slime more of a dark grey colour.
How should slime be stored?
Once you’re done playing with your black slime, store it in a plastic or glass airtight container with a lid.
How long does black slime last?
If you store the slime properly, your black slime will last at least a week. In fact, you might even like how the slime feels more after a day or two! Always wash your hands before and after playing with slime and get rid of it if the slime feels or smells “off”. Black slime is such a fun twist on a classic slime recipe. It’s bold, eye-catching, and extra fun to squish and stretch! Whether you’re making it for Halloween, a group crafting session, or just because, this black slime recipe is a great way to add a little drama to your slime play.
