The base is a thick backing board. I made the toad out of corrugated cardboard, hot glue, and acrylic paint. The slime is green hot glue I let drip and built up in layers. I used a heat gun to remelt some of the spots so it looked even more slick and gooey.
I love this thing so much! I can’t stop admiring it!

I don’t think any of us will ever look at hot glue in the same way! How wonderful that such a simple supply gave all those effects! I love the slime, but the warts on the toad are incredible!
That is pretty great– I like the way the slime makes a bit of a stand, too.

Thanks for the kindness, everyone! I’m glad to welcome some of you into the wonders and versatility of hot glue!
Here’s another tip: You can use hot glue, colored or otherwise, in silicone molds for some great and easy embellishments! I shared a tutorial on the old site, but it doesn’t really need one. Put some hot glue in a mold, wait for it to dry, pop it out. Paint it, if you want. Attach it with some more hot glue or other plastic-friendly adhesive.
