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

    Add 2.5 oz of clear glue to the liquid starch.

  • Step 4

    Start mixing with your hands! The mixing might take a while 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!

  • Step 5

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