    Add gold glitter and liquid watercolor to the starch and mix well. Food coloring works here as well!


    Tip: We added the glitter and color before adding glue in the next step to create a more consistent mixture.

    Start mixing with your hands! The mixing might take awhile and the gel may get stringy. Don't worry - just keep mixing and eventually the mixture will really feel like slime!


    If you want to make more slime, add in more liquid starch and glue at a 1:3 ratio.


    Tip: If your gel is still too stringy, put it in a plastic bag, and press any air out when you close the bag. Let your gel sit around 10-15 minutes to help its consistency!

    Once your slime has the right consistency, hide some treasures! Are you ready to have fun with slime?


    Tip: To keep your slime from drying out, store it in a plastic zip bag.
