   Pour 120 ml of glitter liquid glue into a small bowl.^[1] If you don't have it available, instead of buying it, you can use transparent glue and add a small teaspoon of glitter powder.If you want, you can also color it by adding a few drops of tempera or liquid or gel food coloring.^[2]

   • If you don't have anything else you can also use white glue.You can add a teaspoon of glitter powder and, if you want the slime to be colored, even a few drops of tempera or liquid or gel food coloring.

   Also add 120ml of water if you like runny slime.^[3] If you prefer it denser and more elastic, don't add anything else for now.^[4]
3. 
   3
   Combine the ingredients by mixing them with a spoon. Keep stirring until you get a perfectly smooth mixture.^[5] Don't rush to add the liquid starch.It is important that all the basic ingredients are completely mixed before continuing.If you pour the starch into the bowl ahead of time, your slime will be loose and poorly made.^[6]

   Add the liquid starch, then stir to distribute it evenly throughout the mixture. Start with just 120ml of starch;after pouring it into the bowl, mix first with a spoon and then with your hands.At a certain point the slime will acquire a compact consistency and the shape of a ball, while part of the liquid starch will remain at the bottom of the bowl.At that time you can remove the slime from the container and discard the excess starch.

   • If you want to obtain an even more elastic consistency, add more liquid starch and continue working the mixture with your hands.^[7]

   Play with the slime and, when you're done, put it in an airtight container. Slime is a fun pastime for kids of all ages.It is also perfect to use for sensory activities aimed at little ones.After playing with it, remember to place it in an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place.

1. 
   1
   Dissolve a teaspoon of borax in 240 ml of water. Once it has completely dissolved, set the mixture aside.^[8] For this method it would be best to use glitter glue, but if you don't have any, you can use regular white PVA glue.In that case, however, only use half a teaspoon of borax and 60 ml of water.
2. 
   2
   Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of water with 120 ml of glitter glue. Thanks to this technique the slime will have a more slimy and sticky consistency.^[9] If you can't find glitter glue, you can make it at home by adding a scant teaspoon of powdered glitter to the clear glue.If you wish, you can also color it by adding a few drops of tempera or liquid or gel food coloring.

   • If you don't have anything else you can also use white glue.Add a teaspoon of glitter powder^[10] and, if you want the slime to be colored, also a few drops of tempera or liquid or gel food coloring.However, keep in mind that in this case the color of the slime will be very pale.
3.

   Pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture, then stir to combine all the ingredients. At a certain point the slime will acquire a compact consistency.At that moment you can start kneading it and squeezing it with your hands.
4. 
   4
   Take the slime out of the bowl and finish working with it. After kneading it for some time with your hands, it will take the shape of a ball.At that point you will notice that some of the liquid will have remained at the bottom of the bowl.At that time, you will have to take the slime out of the container and continue kneading it elsewhere.

   • Don't let the slime sit in the borax mixture too long, or it will become excessively hard.^[11]
   • If it seems too runny, put it back in the bowl with the borax and wait for it to harden again.^[12]

Advice

• The ideal is to use powdered glitter rather than the classic glitter which is larger.You can buy them online, in DIY stores or in perfumeries.
• 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.
• Generally the glue is sold in 120 ml packs.
• Borax can be purchased at pharmacies, in stores that sell household hygiene products or online.Liquid starch can also be easily found in the supermarket or in household cleaning product stores.
• Let your kids help you make slime.

Warnings

• Be careful that the slime doesn't get on furniture or fabrics.
• This is a fun project for children, but if they are very young it is important that they are constantly supervised by an adult.
• Slime is not edible, don't eat it!If you want to give it to a small child to play with, never let him out of your sight to make sure he doesn't put it in his mouth.
