Here’s a video (where I learned to do it) on how to make the stress balls. If you’re still confused after watching, I have my own directions below. If you don’t like slime stuff, don’t worry. I don’t like slime either, but it wasn’t bad at all. Also, what he’s squeezing right below in the video pic is NOT the “slime”. That’s a balloon with a design on it. The “slime” is inside. And some of my friends, though I don’t know what this is, said it’s like Oobleck.

DIY Stress Ball

****Warning! THIS GETS MESSY!!****

**Please go to my blog at   where’s there’s a video, which will help to clarify.**

Supplies

~Balloons (2 per ball)

~Cornstarch/Cornflour

~Water

~Empty Plastic Water Bottle (preferably with a

small “mouth opening”)

~Scissors

~Measuring Cups/Utensils

Directions

#1. Put about ½ a cup or 1 cup of cornstarch/cornflour, And then add some water and mix it with your hands. The cornstarch/cornflour will absorb it, so keep adding til it looks sorta like a liquid.

#2. Play with it some, cuz it’s fun. Try jabbing your hand into the mixture, fast and hard, and it’ll stop your hand right under the surface. Then let your hand just go under, and it will sink to the bottom. Then, pick some up and roll it between your hands. It’ll feel like a playdough, but the instant you stop it turns back into a liquid and oozes off your hands.

#3. Pour the mixture into the water bottle, and then put the balloon opening thing on the cap. Make sure it’s the one you do NOT want on the outside.

#4. Tilt the bottle so it’s upside down, and pour the mixture into the balloon. The balloon won’t want to fill up much, so squeeze the bottle til you have the satisfactory amount in the balloon. Squeeze the “tunnel” part shut so the mixture doesn’t get out, and take the opening thing off the cap.

#5. Tie it shut, and cut off a reasonable amount from what’s left AFTER the knot.

#6. Take your other balloon, the outside one, and cut off most of the “tunnel” part. Then push the balloon with the mixture in it inside the outside one. **This can be tricky, so it’s preferable to use 2 people.**

#7. If you want, you can leave the outside balloon untied, but then the inside balloon will pop out some, so if you don’t want that, tie it shut.

#8. Enjoy!

NOTES: If you leave it sit for a while, it might get hardish. Don’t worry, just play with it and it should get back to normal. Also, I’ve only made 2, so the outcome feel of it could be different each time. For example, my first one stayed mostly feeling liquidish, but my second one was more of a solid.  They both worked as a stress ball though!
