How can I remove slime from my carpet?At Nuttinbutcrafts, we get it—one minute you’re enjoying a crafty masterpiece, and the next you’re wondering if your carpet just became a permanent slime sculpture. But don’t fear, we’ve got your back with this quirky guide to de-slime-fy your carpet: 1. **Act Quickly:** Be the superhero your carpet needs! The quicker you tackle the slime, the easier it is to banish it. 2. **Remove Excess Slime:** Scoop off as much of that gooey monster as you can with a spoon or the edge of a credit card. Just try not to push it deeper into your carpet. 3. **Prepare a Cleaning Solution:** Mix equal parts of white vinegar and warm water, or concoct a few drops of dish soap with warm water. It's like a magic potion for slime, minus the cauldron. 4. **Blot, Don’t Rub:** Dab a clean cloth or sponge into your magical cleaning solution, then blot the slime-stained area gently. Rubbing is a no-no unless you want a bigger, slimier mess. 5. **Rinse and Repeat:** Use a separate cloth dampened with plain water to blot away any remnants of your cleaning brew. Repeat the blotting process with the solution and water until the slime surrenders and vanishes. 6. **Dry the Area:** After cleaning, give the area a good blot with a dry towel to soak up the moisture. Let the carpet air out and breathe freely again. For those stubborn stains or if you feel like you're battling an epic slime monster alone, consider calling in the cavalry—a professional carpet cleaner. And remember, prevention is better than a cure! Keeping crafty activities in designated zones might just save your carpet from future slime attacks.

What should I do if slime gets in my hair while crafting with Nuttinbutcrafts products?If slime gets in your hair during your crafting sessions with Nuttinbutcrafts products, don't worry! Here's a step-by-step guide to safely and effectively remove it: 1. Avoid Panic and Tugging: Channel your inner zen master. No point in pulling at the slime like it's a bad ex—it'll just cause hair breakage. 2. Use Oil or Conditioner: Slather on enough hair conditioner or natural oil (we're talking coconut or olive here) to make a salad. The slime will practically slide out like it's late for an important meeting. 3. Gently Massage: Take your time and give your hair a spa day, massaging the conditioner or oil through those slime-infested strands. Consider this your arm workout for the week. 4. Comb Through: Grab that wide-toothed comb and gently detangle. Start from the ends and work your way up, like reverse engineering a spaghetti disaster. 5. Wash Out: Once you've evicted most of the slime, give your hair a good scrub with warm water and your go-to shampoo. You might need to lather, rinse, and repeat—just like those shampoo commercials say. At Nuttinbutcrafts, we always recommend wearing protective gear, like an apron and tying back long hair, to stop slime from staging a full-on hair invasion. Happy crafting!

Why is my cloud slime shedding?It's impossible to have snow slime and not have some residue or snow pieces in your hands or over the counter. If it is hard: Try to add lotion. If it is not drizzling: This happens if you don’t “fluff up” the cloud slime. Make sure you “fluff up” the cloud slime until there are no clumps and then it should drizzle perfectly. If it is Crumbling: It might need activator, add little by little activator, and kneed it until it pulls together. If none of these tips help you, you need to know that slime has a limited life span and you might not be able to fix it.

Why doesn't my slime fit in the original container?Oh boy, looks like your slime is on a mission to expand its territory! The slime gets ambitious, due to things like temperature changes, throwing in extra ingredients, or working out too much like it’s training for a marathon, pumping in more air. Slime can grow because ingredients like borax or baking soda are still reacting, making it bloat. And if it’s warm, well, it’s just trying to be more "fluid" in this heat. To tame this wild slime, pop it in a bigger airtight container so it doesn’t dry out or lose its “sliminess.”
