Are you wondering how to make rainbow slime?
How about a vibrant and pretty rainbow slime… that doesn’t ever fade?

Making Vibrant Rainbow Slime That Lasts
As you may know, many rainbow slime recipes involve making lots of small batches, adding food coloring to each batch, and then combining them.
It’s great fun, however, there’s one issue…
That slime only lasts 5 minutes before all the colors merge together. As a result, you end up with a dull grey slime… sigh!
But there’s no need to worry because we’ve found the perfect solution for this…
Using pretty beads in all the colors of the rainbow makes the perfect rainbow slime!

How To Store Slime
So you’ve made the perfect slime and now you need to store it!
How?
Storing slime in an airtight container is the best way to ensure your slime will stay fresh for as long as possible.
This particular slime recipe should last for a few months before you need to freshen it up or make a new batch.
What If Your Slime Goes Wrong
It goes without saying that sticking to the slime recipe is the best way to ensure your slime works…
But sometimes (no matter how hard you try) things don’t go to plan… this could be due to out of date glue or an un-identifiable reason.
Common problems when making slime (and how to fix them)
- Slime is too sticky: In this case, gradually add more contact lens solution to make it less sticky
- Slime is too dry: To fix this issue, gradually add some hand moisturizer to your slime. As a result, your slime will become super moist and stretchy (it will probably smell good too)!
For best results use Elmer’s glue (which has been proven to work time and again) and follow the recipe below closely.
Staying Safe When Making Rainbow Slime
If this is your first time making slime, or your children are young, then definitely supervise them because the ingredients aren’t edible but the slime does often look good enough to eat!
