DIY Glitter Slime Ingredients:

• 4 oz. clear Elmer’s glue
• 1 tbsp contact solution
• 1/2 tbsp baking soda
• 2-3 drops gel food coloring (I used pink but you can use any color you want! I recommend a Gel food coloring and make sure it’s a deep/rich color)
• 1 tbsp iridescent glitter

Step 1: In a bowl, mix glue and baking soda and mix well.

Step 2: Add glitter and food coloring and mix until incorporated.

Step 3: Add the contact solution and mix until the slime starts to become solid.

Step 4: Near the end, you’ll need to use your hands to mix the slime.

Note that if the slime is too sticky, add some more contact solution!

Step 5: Grab, squeeze, and drip your slime!

It’s actually quite relaxing to play with the glitter glue slime! Kids will definitely have a lot of fun with it but I myself enjoyed it as well!
