How to make Galaxy Slime – Easy DIY Galaxy Slime Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (6 ounce) bottle Elmer’s Glue in each: black, silver, pink, and blue
• approx t ¼ cup warm water for each batch
• ½ teaspoon baking soda for each batch
• 1 TBSP contact lens solution (containing boric acid) for each batch
• toys or foil confetti (if desired)

Directions

1. You will make four separate batches of slime: one for each color.
2. Empty the glue into a large bowl.
3. Fill the empty glue bottle about ⅓ full with warm water (about ¼ cup) and seal with the lid. Shake well. Pour the watered down glue into bowl and stir to combine.
4. Now add the baking soda to the glue mixture and stir thoroughly (If you are using glitter or confetti, stir that in now as well).
5. Add the contact lens solution to the glue mixture and stir well. Note: regular glue requires less contact lens solution than glitter glue. Add the contact lens solution to your glue slowly, mixing between additions. Stop when you have added enough to bring the glue together into a soft ball.
6. Remove the slime from the bowl while leaving any extra liquid behind. The slime will be sticky at this point. Begin to play with the slime, kneading it as you would pizza dough. The slime is ready for use when no longer sticky.
7. Once you have all of yours separate slime colors made, mix them together to form a multi-colored galaxy slime.
8. The slime will keep best if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
