Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    **Prepare the Slime Activator:** In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of warm water with 1 teaspoon of borax powder. Stir until the borax is mostly dissolved. Set aside.

  2. 2

    **Prepare the First Slime Batch:** In a separate mixing bowl, pour 1/2 cup of white school glue.

  3. 3

    **Mix Glue and Water:** Add 1/2 cup of warm water to the glue and stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    **Add Color:** Add a few drops of your first food coloring to the glue mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    **Activate the Slime:** Slowly add about 1 tablespoon of your slime activator to the colored glue mixture while stirring continuously.

  6. 6

    **Form the Slime:** Keep stirring until the slime starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and forms a cohesive blob.

  7. 7

    **Knead the Slime:** Once the slime is mostly formed, take it out of the bowl and knead it with your hands until it is no longer sticky. If it's too sticky, dip your fingers in the activator and knead again.

  8. 8

    **Repeat for Additional Colors:** Repeat steps 2-7 for each additional color you want to add, using a clean mixing bowl for each new color. Make sure to make each color of slime separately.

  9. 9

    **Prepare the First Layer:** Once you have made all of your colored slime batches, take a small piece of your first colored slime and roll it into a log.

  10. 10

    **Start Layering:** Place the first slime log at the bottom of your clear jar.

  11. 11

    **Add Subsequent Layers:** Take a piece of your second colored slime, roll it into a log, and carefully place it on top of the first slime log in the jar.

  12. 12

    **Continue Layering:** Continue layering the different colored slime logs on top of each other until the jar is full or you have used all your slime.

  13. 13

    **Seal the Jar:** Once all the slime is layered, put the lid on the clear jar.

  14. 14

    **Admire Your Creation:** Gently tilt the jar to see your beautiful rainbow layers!
