Elmer’s Glue For Slime

To showcase special confetti without food coloring, you want really clear slime. You will want to use the clear slime recipe. If you want to use food coloring, any of the four basic recipes will work!
Clear glue is also best for rich colors, and the sparkle of glitter like our galaxy slime or Harry Potter slimes. Clear glue is also awesome for making extreme glitter slime! No need to buy special glitter glue.
Clear glue can make a stiffer slime, but we have tinkered with this year’s recipe to find the best ratio of powder to water!
White Glue
White glue will need more food coloring added for deeper shades, but it is possible to achieve bright colors. Take a look at our Emoji slime! White glue slime also makes pretty pastels like our cotton candy slime. Glitter and confetti can get lost in the white glue.
We also use white glue for our fluffy slime recipe, but clear glue works. Clear glue is more expensive, so we reserve it when it comes in handy! White glue makes a thinner, looser slime.
