- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue with 1/2 cup of water. Stir until well mixed for a smooth consistency.
- Add red, white, and blue glitter to the glue mixture. Use both fine and chunky glitter for varied textures and a festive look. Mix well!
- If you want more vibrant colors, add a few drops of red or blue food coloring into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of liquid starch to the glitter mixture while stirring continuously. You'll notice it begins to thicken and come together.

Notes
Customize colors by trying different combinations of food coloring for unique shades or a swirl effect. Add a few drops of essential oils for a pleasant aroma, or mix in foam beads or sequins for added texture. You can use clear glue for a transparent look.
