How to Make Glitter Slime
Making glitter slime is surprisingly simple, and you only need a few ingredients to get started. With these easy glitter slime recipes, you can whip up a batch of magical sparkle slime in no time.
Yield: 1 glitter slime
Cost: $2
Materials
- Elmer's clear glue
- Baking soda
- Food colouring (violet or purple)
- Glitter (mixture of fine and chunky)
- Contact lens solution
- Glitter glue
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Mix your slime base
- Add 1/2 cup of glue to a bowl and stir in 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- Add drops of food colouring to the bowl. This is optional, depending on if you want a coloured slime with glitter, or a clear slime with glitter accents.
- Stir in the food colouring and then gather different types of glitter that match.
Step 3: Add glitter
- Add 1 teaspoon of the first type of fine glitter to the bowl. (No need to actually measure the glitter, though. You can definitely measure with your heart!)
- Repeat with the other glitters and stir well to combine.
Step 4: Activate the slime
- Add 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution to the bowl.
- Stir well until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Pick up the slime from the bowl and work it with your hands. It will be sticky at first, but as you knead, stretch, and fold it, the slime will become workable.
- Continue stretching and working the slime until it no longer sticks to your hands when you play with it. If it still remains sticky, add more contact solution, a few drops at a time.Your glitter slime is complete!
