I might be a little obsessed with our latest Valentines Day Slime! Honestly, it’s because it’s so easy and quick to make our homemade slime recipe. I wanted to tinker a bit with the glue I this time because I got glitter glue {but you don’t necessarily need glitter glue} at the dollar store. How does dollar store glue stack up?

Make Glitter Glue Valentines Day Slime
The recipe calls for a half cup of glue and a half cup of water mixed together. Squeeze the glitter glue into the half cup and then add clear glue to finish up the half cup.
Add glitter if desired. Mix the glue and water together in a bowl. Measure out a 1/2 cup of liquid starch and pour into the glue and water mixture. You can begin mixing by hand, but you might as well switch to a spoon.

I’m looking to make enough to give approx a handful amount out as part of valentine’s gifts for a class of 19. How much of each material do I need? Not sure the total/ratio of how many glitters glues I need vs clear glue.
I’m looking to make this for a class of 19. In order to give each of them roughly a “handful” how much of each material will I need??
Slime AND glitter? It’s official – you’re a genius! 😉
My son asked me three or four times a week to make slime. I thought it would be fun to make it with a valentine theme. We searched together and found your recipe -here- but used the Dollar store brand. The measurements different with the inexpensive brand. My son still has aversions to textures but the whole activity was a major success!! We took lovely pictures and I’d like to write about it with your permission and links to your page? Never would have happened without finding your page! Thank you for the great experience!!
Love it
Thank you!
