DIY Laundry Detergent Slime

I had a BLAST making this DIY galaxy slime (see what I did there? ;)) and after an initial test with dyeing white glue with paint, I decided that translucent glitter glue created a much prettier galaxy effect. Here’s how to make DIY galaxy slime!

DIY Galaxy Slime

Slime Materials:

Bowl and spoon
Purple, blue, and pink clear Elmer’s glitter glue
Food dye or glitter if desired
1/2 teaspoon 20 Mule Team borax powder
1 cup warm water in a measuring cup
Measuring spoons
Optional: slime jar containers
Clean area that can get messy (just in case)

Use three different bowls and spoons to create your blue, pink, and purple clear glitter slimes separately, and then mix together for a galaxy effect!
