Directions to Make Dragon Slime Recipe

Step 1

Pour the clear glue into a medium bowl and add the 1/2 TBSP baking soda. 

Step 2

Mix in the ½ TSP of cosmetic powder which is usually an eyeshadow loose powder.

Tip: We used purple eyeshadow powder here, but try different bright colors like teal, blue, green or go with a completely mono-tone like white.

Step 3

Add in 2 TBSP of water and 1-2 TBSP of Holographic Glitter

Step 4

Add in 1 ½ TBSP of Saline Solution (add half in first, continue to mix, and if needed, add second half).

Step 5

Use craft stick to initially mix ingredients and as soon as it starts to form…

When the consistency looks like this (above), then go on to next step.

Step 6

Take the slime out of the bowl and knead, knead and knead until desired slime consistency.
