Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 tsp Borax powder
1 ½c Water, divided
4 oz Elmer's glue, clear or white
Food coloring

EXTRAS:
Extra Fine Glitter

Mica powder (makes the slime shimmery instead of glittery)

Tiny Styrofoam Balls (for crunchy slime. Just be forewarned, once the bag is opened, Satan has been unleashed and between their apparent weightlessness and their penchant for static electricity, trying to clean them up will hurt your heart. Just get a vacuum and a prescription for anti-anxiety medication.)

Directions:
Directions:
Add Borax powder to 1 cup of water and stir to dissolve. Set aside.

Pour glue into a medium mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup water. Add a few drops of food coloring until desired color is reached and then stir to mix glue solution until smooth.

Pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture and watch the solids start to form. Stir for a few moments and then use your hands to gather the mass. The mixture will be very soft and wet.

Keep kneading until it firms up and feels dry. Discard excess liquid in the bowl. The more you knead and play with the slime the firmer it will become.

Store in a ziplock bag or airtight container and the slime will keep indefinitely.
