DIY Slime, the newest trend to hit the internet. I set to pinterest to find some fun DIY projects to make with the kids this summer break, while they’re in town and the one thing Pinterest has an endless supply of DIY projects. We hope to knock out a few of these over summer break while the kids are visiting until almost the end of August, before they go back to their dad’s house to get ready for school.
I browsed the internet for different ways to make this, however this was the easiest way to do it. While I bought both of these products at Walmart, I later discovered when writing up this post that you can get both products CHEAPER on Amazon, so let me just save you the hassle and share those links with you below.
What You Need for DIY Slime:
- 1 6 oz bottle of glitter glue
- 1/4 cup of Sta-Flo (liquid starch)
- 1 small bowl
- 1 zip-lock baggy
How To Make DIY Slime:
- First you’re going to empty the bottle of glitter glue into a small bowl.
- Then you’re going to pour the liquid starch into the bowl slowly. (keyword: slowly)
- Mix it together with a spoon until it starts to stick together.
- Next you need to pick it up and knead it.
At this point you have to knead it for like a few minutes, if it gets sticky add a tad bit of liquid starch. But it will be good to go after that. To keep it fresh, the kids keep theirs in zip-lock baggies or bowls. There’s plenty of different ways to do slime, I hope to try a few different ways with the kids.
Don’t wait, go make your own DIY Slime now and let me know what works best for you?
My kids would of loved this when they were little. They are ll teenagers now, but we did a lot diy sidewalk paints, bubbles and more. So fun.
My niece would love to play with this sparkly slime! What a cool thing to make!

My kids have made this in their church group and love this stuff.
I definitely need to make this soon!! My son will be amazed.
So many versions of slime out these days lol At least this one doesn’t use expensive contact lens solution! 🙂 Thanks for the “recipe!” 🙂
Slime is definitely an in thing to make right now. The kids made it at church during VBS and they all loved it! I like it made with glitter!!
Funny rainy day summer activity – thanks for sharing!
What a fun thing to make 🙂
We’ve made this slime with our grandkids, but we used regular Elmer’s white glue, not the glitter glue! We’ve have been to Office Depot, Walmart, etc. spending a small little fortune on cases of the glue. They seem to like the slime better than Play Doh (for right now).
This looks like fun. I will do this with my grandchildren.
My kids would absolutely love making this slime glitter glue. Anything to keep them occupied during summer break.
This looks like so much fun and so easy to make. My niece would love it.
For some reason I don’t like the feel of this. However, I understand it is a hit with the kids.
I also can’t stand touching this stuff, but my grandkids love it. I let my kids do this for them~~~

My 2 grandsons would be so into the slime. Especially the 4 year old. He would play with it for hours!
My kids would love to mae this!
I love the slime right along with my kids
I haven’t made any yet. This is the first time I’ve seen this recipe.
I see slime recipes all over and this does seem to be the easiest
As much as I hate glitter (because of the mess) this seems to stay contained. I would give it a chance and make some with my granddaughter.
This is so cool, but I don’t want anything to do with it slime gives me a strange feeling. My sister has been making a lot of it this summer and she loves doing it.
This looks like fun to make and to play with I will have to make it and have the kids help and playing with it will even be more fun.
My niece would love making this herself.
I would love to make this Glitter glue with the kids, They would love it!
This seems pretty easy to make!! I have a nephew who would think this is super cool.
I am going to have to try this with my grandchildren, I am sure they will get a kick out of this. Looks like fun!
