  • Thanks to the glitter the slime will be super sparkly.If you want, you can also add larger glitter in various shapes, for example heart-shaped or star-shaped.
  • If you want, you can color the glue (and therefore the slime) by adding a few drops of tempera or liquid or gel food coloring.This method also works with white glue, but you will get a rather pale shade.
  • If the slime is too sticky, add more liquid starch or a little more of the borax-water mixture.[13]
  • If the slime is too runny, add more glue.[14]
  • Also add a few drops of essential oil to make the slime fragrant as well as sparkling.[15]
  • Divide the slime into many small jars and give it to friends at the end of your party.
