Glitter Slime Recipe

Discover the joy of creating dazzling slime with the perfect combination of glitter glue and baking soda. If you’re already acquainted with the basic slime recipe, making this variation is a breeze. Instead of opting for traditional white glue, switch things up by using clear glue for a mesmerizing effect.

You have the choice of purchasing a bottle of ready-made glitter glue in your preferred colors or crafting your own by mixing fine glitter and food coloring with the clear glue.

Clear glue possesses its own unique qualities, necessitating a slight adjustment to the recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:

• A 4 oz. bottle of clear glue or colored glitter glue, carefully squeezed into a bowl
• 3 tablespoons of buffered or multipurpose contact lens solution, added to the glue
• 1 tablespoon of fine colored glitter (if not using premixed glitter glue)
• 2 teaspoons of Arm & Hammer baking soda
• 1 cup of hot water from the tap
• Begin by dissolving the baking soda in the hot water (ensure it’s not boiling) and allow it to cool down to room temperature.

Now, let’s dive into the slime-making process. Start by thoroughly mixing the glue and contact lens solution together.

Slowly incorporate the baking soda and water, adding small amounts at a time while continuously mixing.

Adjust the quantities until you achieve the desired texture for your slime. Remember not to add all the water at once, as you may not need it all.

By following this method, your slime will possess a captivating transparency and a generous sprinkling of sparkle.
