How to Make Silly Putty

January 12, 2020 By DIY Thrill 5 Comments

I may get paid for ads or purchases made through links in this post.

Who knew making Silly Putty was so EASY?!?  Check out this awesome recipe for How to Make Silly Putty!



There is something satisfying about playing with silly putty. When I was young, I remember spending hours molding, squishing, and stretching those little balls of silly putty.

The best part about making your own DIY silly putty is it’s super easy to make and much cheaper than buying it pre-made from the store!  It’s just like the real thing, it stretches without breaking, yet can be “”snapped off”” cleanly.

Are you ready to make this DIY Silly Putty?  Here’s what you’ll do…

How to Make Silly Putty

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp. Contact Solution
  • 4 Ounces Elmer’s White School Glue
  • Orange Food Coloring Gel

What You’ll Do:

  1. Find a plastic bowl you can throw away to mix your Silly Putty in.
  2. Pour out the entire contents of a 4 ounce Elmer’s White School Glue into the bowl.
  3. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and stir.
  4. Add Orange Food Coloring Gel, stir, and keep adding until you reach your desired color.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon Contact Solution and stir until Silly Putty forms and begins to get harder to mix.
  6. Take the Silly Putty out and begin kneading with both of your hands.
  7. Enjoy!  When done playing with Silly Putty, place in a ziplock bag, seal, and place in the refrigerator.  The Silly Putty should last several days.
