Studio DIY Guides & Safety Recipes
Our studio-tested techniques, proportions, and safety considerations for parent-supervised maker sessions.
Studio Slime Recipes & Safe Mixing
🧪 The Universal Activator (Make First)
- •Ingredients: 1 teaspoon Borax powder + 1 cup warm water.
- •Prep: Stir until completely dissolved and set aside.
💡 PRO TIP: Always add your color and glitter before adding the activator. Once the glue is activated into slime, it becomes too thick and rubbery to blend in coloring or loose glitter evenly.
🍇 Recipe 1: Jelly Slime
Materials: 5 oz Elmer’s Clear Glue, 1/4 cup Instant Snow powder, Water, Food coloring / Glitter.
- Step 1 (Snow): Mix 1/4 cup of water with the instant snow powder until it fluffs up.
- Step 2 (Base & Color): Stir the clear glue with 2 tablespoons of water. Mix in your color and glitter now.
- Step 3 (Activate): Slowly stir in Borax activator, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a stiff slime forms.
- Step 4 (Combine): Knead the fluffed instant snow into the slime until it reaches a jelly consistency.
🧈 Recipe 2: Butter Slime
Materials: 5 oz Elmer’s White School Glue, 1 pkg Soft Air-Dry Clay, 1 tbsp Lotion, Food coloring / Glitter.
- Step 1 (Base & Color): Stir white glue and lotion together. Mix in your color and glitter now.
- Step 2 (Activate): Gradually add Borax activator, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it forms a slightly sticky slime ball.
- Step 3 (Clay): Flatten a golf-ball-sized piece of air-dry clay and place it onto the slime.
- Step 4 (Knead): Knead until the clay completely blends into a smooth, buttery, spreadable texture.
Skin & Play Safety:Always wash hands before and after play. Store slimes in airtight containers at room temperature. Slimes containing small charms are intended for makers ages 3+ with adult supervision.
Scrunchies: Sewing & Textile Assembly
Materials Needed
- •Fabric strip: 5 to 6 inches wide by 20 to 26 inches long.
- •Elastic: 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch wide (usually 7 to 9 inches long).
- •Tools: Sewing machine, thread, safety pin, and iron.
- 1. Prep: Fold and press one short end in by 1/4 inch (wrong sides together).
- 2. Roll: Lay fabric right-side up and tightly roll the center lengthwise into a narrow tube.
- 3. Encase: Bring the two outer long edges together over the roll and pin (sandwiching the roll inside).
- 4. Sew Seam: Stitch the long edge with a 1/4-inch seam, pulling the inner roll through as you go.
- 5. Flip: Pull the inner fabric out through an open end to turn the tube right-side out.
- 6. Elastic: Thread elastic through the tube using a safety pin, then overlap and stitch the ends securely.
- 7. Close: Tuck the raw short end inside the pre-pressed folded end and topstitch the loop closed.
Sewing Safety Tip:Keep fingers safely away from the sewing machine needle. Fasten safety pins completely when threading, and always turn off the iron immediately after pressing.
Pearler Beads: Bookmarks & Fusing
🛠️ Materials & Tools
- •Perler beads: Plastic melting beads.
- •Pegboard: Square or interlocking boards work best for long bookmark shapes.
- •Ironing paper: Parchment paper.
- •Household iron: Dry setting, no steam.
- •Heavy book: To keep the bookmark perfectly flat while cooling.
- •Optional: Tweezers (for precise bead placement).
🔥 Setting & Ironing Instructions
- Step 1 (Prep): Preheat your iron to medium heat. Turn off the steam setting completely.
- Step 2 (Cover): Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Gently lay a sheet of parchment paper over your finished bookmark design.
- Step 3 (Fuse First Side): Press the iron flat onto the paper. Move it in slow, circular motions for 10–20 seconds. Stop when you can see the beads melting together through the paper.
- Step 4 (Flip & Remove): Let it cool for a few seconds. Carefully peel away the paper, flip the bookmark over, and gently slide it off the pegboard.
- Step 5 (Fuse Second Side): Cover the un-melted side with the parchment paper. Iron it using the same circular motions until the beads fuse securely.
- Step 6 (Flatten & Cool): Immediately place a heavy book on top of the hot bookmark. Leave it for 5–10 minutes so it cools completely flat and doesn't warp.
Ironing & Heat Safety:Always operate hot irons with active adult supervision on a heat-safe surface. Allow fused beads to cool completely under a heavy book before handling to prevent warping.
