Say it with an emoji! I was meandering through the craft store the other day, and it hit me! Or rather the giant emoji pillows gave me a great idea! We definitely needed to make emoji slime as soon as possible. I picked up a few packaging jars, made some labels, and whipped up a couple batches of our super simple homemade slime recipe!

HOW TO MAKE SLIME WITH LIQUID STARCH
STEP 1: In a bowl add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup glue and mix well to combine completely.
STEP 2: Now’s the time to add color, glitter, or confetti!
Remember, when you add color to white glue, the color will be lighter. Use clear glue for jewel-toned colors!
STEP 3: Pour in 1/4 cup of liquid starch and stir well.
You will see the slime immediately start to form and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Keep stirring until you have a gooey blob of slime. The liquid should be gone!
STEP 4: Start kneading your slime! It will appear stringy at first but just work it around with your hands, and you will notice the consistency change.
SLIME MAKING TIP: The trick with liquid starch slime is to put a few drops of the liquid starch onto your hands before picking up the slime. However, keep in mind that although adding more liquid starch reduces the stickiness, it will eventually create a stiffer slime.
I like to let my slime sit for about 15 mins and then I play with it for another few minutes to get that nice, smooth exterior you see. Homemade slime does start out looking a bit more stringy than you would think {as you can see above}. However, it looks awesome in the end.
Once you have your awesome ball of slime, it’s time to fill the jars or containers! You can easily rip off a piece of slime and push it into the container. Close the lid and add your emoji label!
Click on the black download button below {or the emoji label picture}. I would suggest printing these on glossy thick paper and using 2-way tape to stick them on the jars. You can also printout a color copy and take it to a local copy store. Alternatively, the regular color copy labels work fine too 😉
