4th Of July Slime

This is my first attempt at slime!! With 4th of July being so close I was inspired to make it patriotic.  Here is what you'll need Clear Glue Liquid Starch Red, White and Blue Confetti or Sequins  Directions Pour one bottle of glue(12oz) into a large bowl. Slowly add the liquid starch, a tiny amount at a time. Stir for a while after each amount you add.  Sit together before adding more starch. Keep adding until the mixture begins to stick together and glue is no longer sticky.  Add you confetti or sequins as you knead it for a few minutes. Store in an airtight container for a couple weeks (not a Ziploc bag as it is nearly impossible to get it out!!) You may need to add more liquid starch after you take it out of the container if it's too sticky.  Want more 4th of July fun?
