Description
Create festive and colorful DIY Holiday Slime for fun and creative holiday crafts.
Ingredients
Scale
- One bottle of Elmer’s glue (6 oz)
- Brown food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 15 tablespoons of contact lens solution (must contain boric acid)
- 1/4 cup of water
- Googly eyes
- Orange felt
- Red felt
- Red pom pom
- Brown pipe cleaner
- Small black buttons
- Hot glue
Instructions
- Begin by pouring the Elmer’s glue into a mixing bowl. If you prefer green slime, you can swap in clear glue and add green food coloring instead.
- Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda until well combined.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of water until the mixture is fully blended.
- Slowly add in the 15 tablespoons of contact lens solution while mixing continuously. Watch as the slime starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the slime with your hands for about 5 minutes to make it less sticky and more manageable.
- If the slime is still clinging to your hands, you can use a little baby oil or lotion to help, or add a touch more contact lens solution as needed.
- For a delightful Rudolph jar, glue on the googly eyes, attach a red pom pom for the nose, and twist the brown pipe cleaner into cute antlers. Don’t forget to dye your slime brown!
- If you are creating a snowman jar, cut a piece of orange felt for the nose and use small black buttons to craft an adorable mouth.
- To make a whimsical Grinch jar, attach the googly eyes, use a black Sharpie to draw a cheeky face, and hot glue some festive red felt around the jar lid.
Notes
- To make your slime extra festive, consider adding a sprinkle of fine glitter for a bit of sparkle.
- Experiment with different colors by swapping in various food colorings to match your holiday theme!
