The best clay for making butter slime at home

The fun about slime is that once you have the base ready to go, you can add other types of add-ons for textural and color purposes. The clay will add the buttery and stretchy texture and be a source of color for your slime. If you want your own colors, you can use different food colorings and dyes to incorporate. You can use anything from beads to packing peanuts to create fun textures to play with for texture.

Butter slime is slightly different from the other plain slime recipes that you can find on the internet. It uses the traditional slime base, which is made of glue, baking soda, and a saline solution, and adds in soft clay. The clay needs to be soft like model magic clay for the slime to incorporate it properly. The lighter the clay, the more you will want to use it to get it to the right consistency. Thorough mixing is necessary to make sure the whole solution is homogenous.
