TIPS FOR THE BEST SLIME
Slime making can be intimidating for some, here are a few helpful tips that you can do when you decide to make this craft at home:
USE THE RIGHT GLUE
For transparent or sparkly slimes, clear glue works fantastic; for an opaque texture, use white glue.
KEEP IT CLEAN
When creating slime, make sure to wash your hands and clean surfaces to prevent dust or dirt from getting into the mixture.
STORE PROPERLY
When not in use, put your slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh and elastic. By doing this, it doesn't dry out.

HOW TO MAKE GLOW IN THE DARK SLIME
Now that you have gathered all of your ingredients, it is time to make this cool craft. Follow the instructions below for the best results!
STEP ONE: PREPARE BASE MIXTURE
Grab your small bowl and start with the glue. You are going to need to pour in the entire bottle of clear glue. Once you get all of that in the bowl, add some water in there, baking soda, and the glow in the dark paint. Mix them together until they are fully combined.
STEP TWO: TIME TO GET STICKY
When that's fully incorporated with each other, go on ahead and add the glow in the dark perler beads to the mix. It is up to you how much you want to add.
Next step is to add the contact solution. This is the part where it gets sticky. This will instantly begin to form too. You have to mix and mix until it completely forms. Just continue to knead the slime til it is no longer sticky.
STEP THREE: STORE
You can add some more beads if you want. When it's not sticky anymore, you can start playing with it already. If not in use anymore, store it in an airtight container. Enjoy!
