DIY-Homemade Silly Putty

By: Tonya5 Comments

I was making homemade silly putty with my boys the other day and thought I would share with you how to do it!  It’s a great weekend project that doesn’t take very long to make from start to finish. What you will need:

silly putty

 –Elmer’s Multi-Purpose Glue-All

–Liquid starch

1.) Dump 1 cup of Elmer’s multi-purpose glue-all into a bowl

2.) Mix in 1/2 cup of liquid starch

3.) Stir until it comes together, I find it easiest to do this by hand. You can add a few drops of food coloring if you would like but then use a glove until it is combined.

4.) Kneed the silly putty until it is the right texture.

5.) Enjoy! Note: We made blue but it was dying our hands blue so we re-made it using no food coloring and the kids enjoyed it just                                         as much. If it seems too sticky add more liquid starch.

    Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. WordPress Seo Plugin

    Fun! I will have to try this. My kids and I make a similar recipe using glue, water and borax instead of starch 🙂
