I know this is not helpful, but I've been trying numerous ways to make putty, AND IT AIN'T WORKIN'! I've been trying and trying but all I did was just ruin a bunch of bowls. I recommend watching Jelly Rainbow, Will It Slime?, and Toys Channel. They are really good at making slime without the ingredients you don't have. I found them really helpful (although I can't do them :( )
