Mixing the Glue and Adding the Colors
The first step in making galaxy slime is to mix the colored glitter glue in separate bowls and add food coloring to achieve the desired shades. This is where the magic begins! Choose your favorite colors or get creative and mix different shades to create a unique galaxy effect.
Once you have the glue in the bowls, it’s time to add a few drops of food coloring. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you achieve the intensity you desire. Remember, the colors will darken slightly once the slime is fully mixed, so don’t go overboard with the coloring.
To make it even more mesmerizing, you can add silver star confetti and extra glitter to each bowl. These sparkly additions will give your galaxy slime an extra touch of cosmic flair. Mix everything together using a popsicle stick until the colors, stars, and glitter are evenly distributed throughout the glue.
Pro Tip: If you want your slime to have a darker, more opaque appearance, consider using black glitter glue as the base. This will give your galaxy slime a truly stellar look!

Adding the Stars and Glitter
Now that we have our galaxy slime base ready, it’s time to take it to the next level by adding the stars and glitter. This is where the magic truly happens, as the silver confetti stars and fine white glitter will give your slime that mesmerizing cosmic effect.
To start, sprinkle a generous amount of fine white glitter onto your galaxy slime. This will create a beautiful shimmering effect that mimics the stars in the night sky. Make sure to spread the glitter evenly throughout the slime for a balanced look.
Next, gently place the silver confetti stars on top of the slime. These stars will give your slime an extra touch of celestial charm. You can scatter them randomly or create patterns, depending on your preference. The combination of the glitter and stars will make your galaxy slime truly shine!
I love seeing the sparkle and shine of the silver confetti stars mixed with the fine white glitter. It makes the slime look like a miniature galaxy in my hands!
Remember, too many stars or glitter can overpower the slime, so start with a small amount and add more if desired. The key is to achieve a balanced and visually appealing look. Take your time and experiment with different quantities and placements until you’re satisfied with the result.
Now that you’ve added the stars and glitter, your galaxy slime is ready to be enjoyed. The mesmerizing cosmic effect will captivate your imagination and provide hours of sensory fun. So go ahead, stretch, squish, and play with your very own galaxy slime masterpiece!
