How to Make Gak

Project Estimate:
  • 8 oz (1 big bottle or 2 small) White glue (clear works too)
  • 8 oz water
  • 1 teaspoon Borax
  • 1/2 cup water

Pour glue into a bowl.
2. Fill glue bottle with warm water and shake to get all the glue out of the bottle. Pour into bowl. Add food coloring if desired.
3. In a separate bow, add 1 teaspoon Borax to 1/2 cup of warm water and stir.
4. Pour Borax-water solution into bowl slowly and mix. Long strings will immediately form. Continue to mix until smooth.
5. Store in a zip-top bag or sealed container.

DON'T USE KOOL-AID INSTEAD OF FOOD COLORING (yes it would smell good, but you can use essential oil for that if you want) the kool-aid messes it up and it won't set.
