🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Use Clear Glue for Vibrancy: Opt for clear glue as it enhances the brightness of added colors and glitter, giving your slime a more magical appearance.
- Incorporate Essential Oils: Adding a drop or two of essential oils like lavender or citrus not only provides a pleasant scent but also makes the slime more enjoyable to handle.
