Gold Slime Recipe – Midas Touch Slime Ingredients
Below are the measurements I used for this shiny golden slime.
- 1 cup Elmer’s (or other) PVA clear glue
- 1/2 teaspoon activator solution OR [Borax powder and 1 cup water]
- 1 cup water
- mica powder (we used gold from this set)
- holographic gold extra fine glitter (ours was from this set – it’s pretty awesome)
- lemon essential oil (optional)
How to Make Pearlized, Bright Gold Slime
We made this slime in just minutes. The color is so intense, but the work isn’t.
- Add the glue and 1 cup water together. Stir until the glue is incorporated.
- Mix in the activator (start with 1 tablespoon and add incrementally) and stir. Note: if using Borax powder, add the powder to the second cup of water first. Once combined with the glue, stir slowly until the mass forms. If needed, add a little more activating solution until the mass is fully formed after stirring.
- Stretch the slime slowly. Once it’s lost some of its stickiness, knead it by hand until no longer sticky.
- Lay the slime flat on a protected surface and add in sprinkles of mica powder. We didn’t measure, just layered it over the slime. We used about half a one-ounce bag. Slowly stretch the slime and fold in the mica powder.
- Add in glitter. We used about 3/4 of the 10g bottle.
- Store in an airtight container.
