4-Ingredient Glitter Slime Recipe
Whether you make rainbow glitter slime or your own custom homemade glitter slimes, this 4-ingredient simple slime recipe without borax provides hours of fun from start to finish... AND this easy slime makes an amazing DIY gift idea!
Servings: 1 (9-oz.) container
Recommended Equipment
Supplies
- 1 (5-ounce) bottle clear school glue
- ½ cup liquid laundry starch
- ⅓ cup warm water
- 6 individual glitter packets
Instructions
- Empty the entire bottle of glue into a large mixing bowl. Pour the water into the empty glue container, shake it up to get all of the remaining glue, and pour it into the bowl, as well. Mix well.
- Gradually add the liquid starch to the glue mixture, stirring as you go. It will become difficult to stir toward the end, but be sure to add it all.
- Knead the slime until it becomes uniform in texture, about 5 minutes or so. It may not be super stretchy at this point, but it will relax once the glitter is added in and it rests for a bit.
- Divide the slime into 6 pieces. Sprinkle one glitter packet over one portion of slime and work it into the slime until the glitter is completely incorporated. Repeat for the remaining 5 portions of slime.
- Layer all six colors of slime into a small plastic storage container.
Tips & Suggestions
Important: While glitter slime may look good enough to eat, it should not be consumed. Young children should be supervised while playing with slime.
Storage: Slime can last indefinitely when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Discard if you notice any changes in odor or mold growth
Tips and ideas:
• Easy cleanup » Cover the play area with an inexpensive reusable vinyl tablecloth and/or work on a foil-covered cookie sheet.
• Making multiple batches? » Pick up this giant 32-oz. bottle of clear school glue to save some money! Use ⅔ cup of glue, with ⅓ cup of water, and 6 glitter packets to make a batch the same size as this recipe.
• Mixture starting to separate? » Work it through with your hands to recombine.
