Ingredients
- ½ cup of school glue. I prefer Elmer’s white glue. You can also use glittered glue.
- ½ cup of water. It needs to be warm.
- ½ cup of liquid starch. You can find this on the grocery aisle.
- pink food coloring. I used McCormick Neon Colors in Pink. You can also use red food coloring if preferred instead of making pink slime.
- red glitter. This makes the slime so pretty and sparkly. I like to use fine glitter. You can also add red confetti hearts or sequins.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Add water, white glue and food coloring to a mixing bowl.
Step 2. Mix well until glue mixture is dissolved, and water is completely pink and smooth.
Step 3. Then stir in liquid starch.
Step 4. Sprinkle with a small amount of glitter.
Step 5. Combine slime and continue to stir until evenly coated with glitter.
Step 6. Remove the Valentines day slime from the bowl and knead if necessary.
Storage
Store this liquid starch slime in an airtight container and enjoy. This slime is so cute to hand out for Valentine’s Day. These plastic containers are perfect for storing slime and so you can give them away.
I find the smaller containers work best to store slime. They are also perfect to attach to a valentine card and for storing your Valentines.
Pro Tips
- Elmer’s Glue is best. I don’t recommend store brand glue when making glue. Elmer’s Glue just works better.
- Don’t use too much glitter. It should be evenly distributed, but you don’t want extra glitter. It will be too messy.
- Knead the slime. You may need to knead the slime a few minutes for the desired consistency.
