Ingredients
- 4 ounces (113g) glue or melted stick glue
- 4 ounces (113g) warm water
- Shaving cream
- Food coloring (optional)

Question
Is the laundry detergent supposed to be liquid or powder?
Community Answer
It is supposed to be liquid so that it is soft and fluffy. If you're adding food coloring, make sure you add the color before you add the laundry detergent.
