To make your own gift, you’ll need just a handful of simple supplies, including:

  • Green slime. I used two containers of green slime from Dollar Tree called Goofy Gooey. I found them in the toy aisle. You can use any type of green slime you want — you can even make it yourself!
  • Mason jar. To fit a gift card inside, you’ll need a tall half pint jar or a wide mouth pint jar, depending on how much slime you have on hand. I used a half pint jar and it was the perfect size to hold two containers of dollar store slime.
  • Printable label. The key to turning your green slime into a cute Christmas gift is the gift tag! Keep reading to see how to get your own printable elf snot label for your gift in a jar.
  • String or ribbon. After you print out your label, you can attach it to the jar with string or ribbon. I used some red and white twine I got in the craft aisle of Dollar Tree.

Grab your mason jar and your green slime. Fill the jar with the slime, making sure that the jar isn’t completely full. Once the slime is added, slide the gift card down the center of the jar. You may need to wiggle it a little bit to work it down into the slime.

Continue pressing the card into the slime until it’s fully submerged. Then, place the lid on top of the jar. Wrape a piece of twine or ribbon around the lid a few times, then attach the gift tag to the top of the jar with a bow.

Try these cute gift ideas to turn your elf snot slime into an adorable present for the holidays:

  • Add money instead of a gift card. In addition to hiding a gift card in your slime, you can also hide cash to create a money gift in a jar! I would suggest placing the cash in a plastic bag to protect it while it’s hidden in the slime, then slide the money down into the slime to hide it.
  • Leave out the gift card. Hiding a gift card in the slime is a fun way to give a boring gift. But there’s no reason you can’t just give the slime on its own. This elf snot slime would make a great stocking stuffer for your kids!
