New Years Slime

Materials

5 oz clear glue
½ cup water
Jumbo glitter - gold
Jumbo glitter - silver I got mine at Hobby Lobby. The one I have is different shades of silver with blue hues in it
New Year’s Eve beaded necklaces
Number calendars
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp contact solution

Instructions

Cut a few of the beaded necklaces into small pieces. Mine ranged from 1-5 beads. These will make your slime extra crunchy.
In a bowl, pour 5 oz clear glue.
Add ½ cup water. Mix until the glue has broken up and is incorporated into the water.
Sprinkle in your glitter. Stir.
Mix ½ cup baking soda in. Baking soda will help determine your slime thickness.
Add 1 tbsp of contact solution. Mix. The slime will be ready to knead when the slime pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Contact solution is what makes the slime sticky or not.
Knead the slime. It will be sticky at first. Just keep kneading it! If you have to, you can add a little bit of contact solution, but be careful not to over activate.
Cut the sticks off the candle numbers and also cut the wicks. Add the numbers to your slime.
Store in an airtight container.
