glitter Maleficent slime recipe

We love crafting with our kiddos.  It’s a fun way to help pass the long summer days and when you’re done, they still have something to do… win-win!  We were asked by the cute Rachel from R&R Workshop to participate in her month long Disney series.  Who doesn’t love Disney??  We are taking our kiddos to see Maleficent for family night tonight and are so excited!  They’re old enough that they won’t be too scared and are stoked to see a twist on the classic, Sleeping Beauty.  Of course we had to accompany the movie with a fun themed craft and hope you love our Maleficent glitter slime recipe!

Directions:

  • Empty glue into bowl.
  • Fill the empty glue bottle with 1/2 tsp. water, shake, add to the glue in the bowl.
  • Add food coloring *optional
  • Add craft glitter *optional
  • In mason jar, add  1/2 c. warm water + Borax, shake well.
  • Slowly add Borax mixture to bowl and stir with a spoon until it thickens.
  • *More Borax will lead to a firmer slimer, less Borax will make it stringy.
  • *It’s fun to knead with your hands too!

That’s all there is to the recipe.  My 11 year old daughter made another batch of pink glitter slime just for fun, super kid friendly and easy to make.

We agreed it looks like Sleeping Beauty so we put them in two mason jars and decorated the tops to keep with the theme.

For the Maleficent horns, just trace a shape on black scrapbook paper and cut out.  Using purple embroidery floss, wrap the floss around the ears and tape to the backside.  Then tape them to the top of the mason jar that you paint black with DecoArt’s chalky finish.  For Aurora, we added a Loopsy crown but you can make one from yellow scrapbook paper too.

  1. We tried this recipe-and ..it did not come out like yours. at all! We are going to try it again soon. once I buy new glue. i think maybe that is what was wrong.

  2. My son and I made this today- but we ran across a question. when it says to add water to the glue bottle and pour in, is that the 1/2 cup? Because it also says later to add water + borax and shake. Ours came out stringy this time (possibly because I tried to mix with my hands after the spoon wasn’t mixing anymore :)) We’re making another batch with more borax to see what happens 🙂

  3. So far up my daughter’s alley, it’s not even funny….She’d adore this in pink. I should whip up a batch for her birthday 🙂

  4. This is awesome! Can’t wait to try it out. You will have so much fun at Disneyland. That is what my entire site is about.
