Saint Patricks Day Slime

For this really cool slime recipe you only need a few simple materials!

Supplies:

1/2 cup clear school glue
1/2 cup water
gold glitter
1/2 teaspoon Borax (found in the laundry aisle)
gold or yellow food coloring (optional)
black pots (optional)
gold coins (optional)

How to make gold slime

In a bowl combine 1/2 cup clear school glue and 1/2 cup water. If you want a bigger batch just use more; you need equal parts of water and glue. Mix in as much gold glitter as you like – the more the better!

In a sepearte bowl mix 1/2 teaspoon of borax into 1/2 cup warm water until combined. The hotter the water, the faster the Borax will dissolve; this makes the activator. Slowly add the activator to the glue-glitter mixture. We added 1 Tablespoon at a time until we reached desired consistency. Unlike white glue slime, if you add too much activator to clear slime, it won’t be stretchy.
