Galaxy Slime
Have you noticed that many stores have a “slime section” lately? Whether it’s labeled as such or not, craft stores and grocery stores alike usually have a shelf or display filled with glue, glitter, and even activators like contact solution and liquid starch!
On one of our most recent Target trips, we couldn’t resist stocking up on all kinds of glitter glues and sequins. We’ve been using them for lots of different slime recipes!
My choice was black glitter glue because I knew it would be just perfect to make Midnight Galaxy Slime!
What is Galaxy Slime?
Galaxy Slime is sort of a catch-all term for slime recipes that remind you of outer space. Deep blues, purples, and even black colored slimes set the stage of the night sky, then are mixed with sparkling glitter and sequins to resemble stars.
There’s no “right” way to make Galaxy Slime – but some recipes are more complicated than others.
For our Galaxy Slime, we use a simple 2-ingredient slime recipe base, then added our glittery mix-ins. Since we used black glue as our base, we labeled it “midnight” slime.
The pictures don’t even do it justice – this slime is gorgeous!
Once our Galaxy Slime was ready, we added a batch of our Glow in the Dark Slime so it would really light up!
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look of my daughter and I making our glow in the dark galaxy slime recipe video:

TIP: Skip the generic brands of glue and stick to name brands. We find that generic glue formulas don’t usually work as well (or at all).
I think this black galaxy slime is just gorgeous on it’s own, but we decided to mix in different colored sequins for even more sparkle.
We also made a batch of our Glow in the Dark Slime to add to our Galaxy Slime. You can make this glow in the dark slime with Elmer’s Magical Liquid or with the liquid starch recipe here.
How to Store Your Slime
Store your galaxy slime in an airtight container or plastic zipper bag. If slime sticks to bag when you’re trying to get it out again, simply add a little liquid starch to release the slime from the sides of the bag.
To make your slime last longer, wash hands before playing to prevent as much contamination as possible and return to airtight container immediately after play.
