Starburst Slime Tips
🍭 Use one bowl per color. That way you get those bright, bold Starburst shades. 💥 Start with a little powdered sugar and add more slowly. Too much = crumbly slime. Sad face. 🥥 Coconut oil helps with stretch. Don’t skip it, or your slime will go stiff fast. 🧼 Keep your hands oiled! Rub a little oil on your fingers when kneading so you don’t end up candy-glued.
And yes, you can eat it… but your dentist might not thank me. 😅
