How to Make Valentine Slime
These step by step photos and instructions are here to help you visualize how to make this project. Please scroll down to simply print out the instructions!
- Empty entire bottle of clear glue into a plastic bowl.
- Add one tablespoon of baking soda.
- Squirt in one tablespoon of contact solution.
- Add in a couple tablespoons of iridescent or fine pink glitter. The more you add, the more sparkly your slime will be. Now, add your small sequin hearts.
- Add in one drop of pink food coloring then mix. Add in more food coloring one drop at a time to reach your desired level of pink.
- Knead your slime with your hands. If the slime is still sticky, squirt in a little more contact solution until the slime pulls away from the bowl and is no longer sticky.
Expert Crafting Tips
- When crafting in groups, purchase value packs of glue to keep costs down.
- It’s best to use bowls and mixing supplies that are designated for slime projects, or simply use disposable supplies.
- You can use red food coloring instead of pink if that’s what you have on hand. Remember to gradually add in one drop at a time to reach the color you like most.
- Try adding foam balls for a fun texture!
This Valentine Slime is a fun project for kids on a chilly winter day. You could even package them up into little containers and add a gift tag to give as gifts!

Could I use white glue instead of clear?
Audrey says
Hi Can I just double check that when you say ‘Contact Solution’ you are referring to Contact Lens Solution from the Chemist or Opticians? Is that right?
Thanks

what can be used instead of contact lens solution. That stuff is very expensive in Canada. Thanks
