DIY Glitter Goo Party Favors

I made DIY Glitter Goo Party Favors for a Disney themed party I hosted for my granddaughters. These DIY party favors can be customized for any party theme by changing up the colors and the pattern of scrapbook paper used for the goo containers.

These DIY party favors went along with the DIY personalized bubble bottles that I customized in the same way for the same Mickey Mouse Disney themed party.

DIY Glitter Goo/ Glitter Slime Party Favors

I totally snagged the idea from one of my favorite bloggers Tonia at The Gunny Sack. She used the same idea for her Valentine's Day  Glitter Goo. She included a cute printable to go with hers.

I am not that talented when it comes to printables. I am way out of practice from the days when I used to make homemade cards and labels.

So instead of making a printable I picked up some Disney themed scrapbook paper and punched out a circle for the decoration on top of the container.

My granddaughters love goo, slime or gak as it is known so I knew they would love this party favor.

This was my first time making the glitter goo but all three of my kids have made it in science class at school with plain Elmer's white glue.

Wow, this stuff is fun to make. I made a blue batch as a test run and didn't measure the borax correctly.

I was in a hurry and used a kitchen teaspoon instead of a measuring spoon. Well, that was fun!

When I was done mixing it I could have bounced it on the floor. The goo was still pliable but it was a lot harder than it should have been.

I didn't use that batch for these party favors but the kids played with it anyway. If you dropped a piece on the floor it bounced!

Kids love playing with Glitter Goo. Glitter Goo makes a perfect DIY Party Favor.

Make this DIY Glitter Glue Party favors for your next birthday party. Even if you are not making party favors this glitter goo is so much fun to make and play with the kids will love it!

How To Make DIY Glitter Goo Party Favors

Glitter Goo Supplies

  • 1 bottle of Elmer's Glitter Glue in color of choice
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup of warm water
  • 1 teaspoon borax
  • 6-8 small 2 oz containers with lids

To make the party favor container decorations.

GlitterGoo Container Supplies

  • Scrapbook paper to match your party theme
  • Washi Tape in coordinating colors
  • 1-inch circle punch
  • double-sided tape or a tape roller

Glitter Goo Instructions

  1. Empty the Elmer's Glitter Glue into a bowl.
  2. Carefully pour the ¼ cup of water into the glue bottle and shake to get as much of the glue and glitter out of the bottle as possible.
  3. Pour the watery glue and glitter into the bowl with the rest of the glue.
  4. Mix well to combine the water and glue while dissolving the glue as much as possible.
  5. In a separate bowl add the borax to the 1 cup of warm water.
  6. Stir to dissolve the borax completely.
  7. Pour the borax and water into the bowl of glue and stir.
  8. The glue will immediately begin to separate from the water in a gelatinous mass.
  9. Only stir for a couple of seconds and lift the goo out of the water.
  10. The longer you leave the goo in the borax water the stiffer it will become.
  11. Place the goo on a clean surface and knead it. This will remove more of the water making the goo stiffer.
  12. Divide the goo up and put each piece in a small lidded container.
  13. Decorate the container as I have done below.

To make the party favor container decorations.

  1. Using the circle cutter cut out as many circles as you have containers and set aside.
  2. Take a roll of coordinating Washi tape and starting at the midpoint on one side of the container attach the tape and pull it around to the midpoint on the opposite side of the container, press the tape down as you go over the lid to ensure good contact between the tape and the lid.
  3. Cut the tape.
  4. Run your finger along the Washi tape so it adheres to the plastic container.
  5. Place a couple of strips of double-sided tape to the bottom of one of the circles.
  6. Press the circle of scrapbook paper to the center of the lid being sure the scrapbook paper is taped in place.
  7. Repeat with each container.
