Though labeled as butter, it does not contain real butter, but the name is given because of its creamy texture.

Step 1: Make the Slime Base

In a mixing bowl, combine:

• ½ cup glue
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup water
• ⅓ cup shaving foam (if using)
• Stir well until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.

Step 2: Add Your Slime Activator

Now, slowly add your activator:

• If you’re using Borax, mix ½ tsp of borax powder with ½ cup warm water and add 1 tsp at a time.
• If using saline solution, use about 2-3 tsp.

• For liquid starch, start with 2 tbsp and adjust.

Keep mixing until your slime is made and comes out of the bowl.

Pro Tip: In case your slime is sticky, mix it in a small proportion with more activator. In case it becomes too difficult, then you might have put excessive amounts of activator.

Step 3: Knead in the Clay

This is where the magique of butter takes place. To your slime, add about a cup of Model Magic clay or butter clay slime and knead by hand for 3-5 minutes to combine fully.

You can immediately notice the change; your slime will turn into a creamy, stretchy, and super smooth slime.
