Tips and Tricks for This Craft
I tried the different formulas, and the *Matte Mod Podge* definitely works the best.
Store your slime in an airtight container to play with again and again. Keep it stored in a cool, dry place for the best results.
If you find your slime is too sticky, add a little bit more baking soda and/or laundry detergent. Continue to mix until you get that smooth slime texture you’re looking for!
It’s so fun, and you can dye it a variety of colors simply using food coloring. I think next I’m going to try a few different colors and see what happens!
