Easter Slime {Only 2 Ingredients!}

TopView_650text

Slime has been all the rage lately and I am sure you've seen it all over Instagram with people sticking their fingers in it or just videos of them making it! You can even buy slime on Etsy... but, why pay for it if you can make your own at home? This Easter slime is even fun for adults to make! You can make it with your kids over Spring break, make it and store it in little glass mason jars like I did and put it in their Easter baskets or even stuff their Easter eggs with it! It's just so fun to make and rather addictive!

I filled these little mason jars with the slime and did a smaller portion inside a plastic egg. You could even make slime making kits to give out at parties. Slime is so fun and easy to make!

How to Make Easter Slime
Make3
For supplies, you'll want TWO 5 oz bottles of Washable Clear Glue (Elmer's brand), 1/2 cup of Liquid Starch and some sort of Easter item to add into the slime.


Make1
If you're wondering what liquid starch is (don't worry, I was too!)... you can find it by the regular canned starch at Target, Walmart or even your local grocer may have it. It isn't very expensive either. It is supposed to be safer than using Borax.


Make2
I added the little plastic eggs to one batch of the slime I made, but I also added bunny and chicks confetti to the other two batches. I used to collect confetti as a child and I still have my container of confetti. Too funny, right? I never knew I'd use this confetti again!


Make4 Make5
First, dump the two bottles of clear glue into a bowl. Then slowly mix the 1/2 cup of Liquid Starch into the glue. It'll turn into slime right away!


Make6
Then I like to divide the slime up into batches on individual plates and I mix different things into the slime, such as mini eggs, confetti, glitter... You can even use food coloring. I have heard the neon food coloring is a favorite (only use 4 drops or it'll get all over your hands) and if you want your slime to be scented- you can add some scented lotion or oils into it!


EasterEgg1
I even separated a tinier batch of the slime to put into this egg. It has chick confetti and glitter mixed into the slime. These would make fun Easter egg fillers!

I hope you enjoyed my Easter slime recipe and you get a chance to try it out.

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...

Creating a Wider Doorway

My kitchen has no outside walls. That means it has no windows directly to the outdoors. UGH. I love light, I love sunshine streaming through windows and lighting up my house. This was not the case in my kitchen. Last year I renovated the space and added a pass through window in one of the walls.  Now the sun can reach the kitchen - hooray!!  But it is still not a terribly well-lit space. Cue my desire to open the wall between the living and dining rooms - the dining room is the brightest room in the house.  That, however, will be a big job because the wall is a supporting wall (at least I'm treating it that way, even if the building inspector didn't think it was).  I decided to tackle the opening from the living room into the kitchen instead since I know for sure that wall isn't supporting.
