Surprisingly, this is my first time making slime. I have no idea how I have a 9, 5, and soon-to-be 4 year old without having made slime yet. They simply haven’t asked to make it.

I have a feeling that is all going to change now. Still, you see all of these fun and colorful slime recipes on Pinterest. At some point, you just have to give them a try.

Technically this is one of many inspiration pins. There are so many fun slime recipes and it feels like I have pinned them all. Also, I was going to try a traditional slime recipe but found this awesome Elmer’s slime mix and decided to give it a try.

Bottle of glue, bag of metallic stars confetti, and bottle of Elmer's slime solution

Glittery Patriotic Slime Ingredients

Clear Non-toxic Liquid Glue (Here is a great deal on Elmer’s Brand)
Elmer’s Slime Solution
1 tbsp. Cornstarch

Emptying container of glue into a glass mixing bowl

Step 1

First, pour your entire bottle of glue into a glass mixing bowl.

Next, add 1/4 cup of Elmer’s Slime Solution and stir together.

Tip:

You don’t need to dirty a measuring cup to complete this step. The bottle comes with a handy guide on the side. Pour in small amounts at a time until you reach the first line.

Step 3

Add 1 tbsp. of cornstarch to your slime and mix it into your slime by kneading it.

Note:

The recipe doesn’t call for this on the slime solution bottle. We found that the slime was too sticky without it.
You can see that our stars are already added in the photo (because after about 10 minutes of kneading it was still super sticky) but I recommend adding it now.

Step 4

Now sprinkle 1/3 to 1/2 of your stars confetti onto your slime.
