How To Make Valentine’s Day Slime
Measure 2/3 cup clear glue and pour into a bowl.
Add 1/4 cup liquid starch and stir with a spoon or spatula until thoroughly mixed.
Pull the slime mixture out of the bowl and work with you hands to get the right consistency.
If the slimy feels too sticky, add more liquid starch. If the slime is too stringy, add more glue a little at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
That’s seriously all there is to it!
