This was my last Spring PAC recipe & I finally made it today. The finished product was great but I did have just a little trouble getting everything to mix. My borax didn't dissolve too well so maybe my water should have been a little hotter. In the end not all the liquid became incorporated possibly due to the borax. I was left with about 1/2 cup liquid still in the bowl. Another thing I would probably do is add some frangrance next time as it doesn't smell very appealing. Didn't stop my toddler from having a blast with this though, make sure the kids wear a plastic art smock when playing with this as it sticks to fabric. Thanks for posting!
