Easy Homemade Silly Putty Recipes

In a medium bowl, mix glue with 1 cup starch. Add a few drops of food coloring. Cover bowl and let it stand overnight. The next day slowly stir in with a spoon 1 to 1 1/2 cups of starch until a big blob forms. Pour off extra starch. Store in air tight container.

If it is too sticky add starch, if it is to stringy add glue. The more you work with it the better it jells.

Note: Do NOT substitute any other glue for Elmer's glue! If you use Elmer's School Glue instead of regular white it doesn't bounce or pick up pictures.
