LET’S MAKE OUR SANTA CHRISTMAS SLIME RECIPE TOGETHER!

The extra special ingredient we added this time is a 1 oz bottle of super cheap glitter glue from the dollar store. We added this glue as part of the overall glue amount in our liquid starch slime recipe not in addition to the glue already listed.

You do not have to use this additional glue like we did. All you might need is a few extra drops of food coloring and another splash of glitter. You can never have to much glitter.

In addition to the liquid starch slime recipe, you can also try out or saline solution slime recipe or our borax slime recipe. Or maybe you want to make your own version with a fluffy slime similar to our candy cane fluffy slime. Get crazy and make your own cool slime theme for Christmas.

SUPPLIES

Here’s what we used. Remember you can use any of our three basic recipes and not add the extra red glitter glue, but we like it! If you can pick up some, it makes the slime feel extra stretchy.

Slime is easy to make, but it’s important that you read the directions, use the correct ingredients, measure accurately, and have a little patience if you don’t succeed the first time. Remember, it’s a recipe just like baking!

SLIME FAILURES

The biggest reason for slime fails is not reading through the recipe! People contact me all the time with: “Why didn’t this work?”

Most of the time the answer has been lack of attention to supplies needed, reading the recipe, and actually measuring the ingredients! So give it a try and do let me know if you need some help. On a very rare occasion I have gotten an old batch of glue, and there is no fixing that!
