Using Laundry Detergent

Pour 1/4 c of white glue into a container. The amount should be roughly the same as the total amount of putty you’d like to end with. If you'd like more, adjust the recipe as necessary.

Mix in food coloring if desired. Simply squeeze several drops into the glue and stir well.

Add 2 tablespoons of laundry detergent. Never substitute this with dish soap, as the consistencies are not the same. You may find that liquid works better than powdered, but both will do the job.

When it has reached a putty-like consistency, knead it with your hands. This will continue to develop the consistency of the putty and squeeze out any excess soap.

Store it in an airtight container. Unless you are keeping it warm and pliable with your hands, it should be kept away from the open air. Place the container in the fridge to prolong your putty's life.
