How to Make Slime

Pour the glue, water, powder or glitter, paint and baking soda into a bowl, and mix up the solution until it is well combined.

Add the saline solution a little at a time, stirring with each addition, until the mixture starts to pull away from the bowl.

Take out the goopy, shiny slime, and place it on a flat surface.
