Yes, it can. Borax makes a slime that is as good as, if not better than, contact lens solution.

Etsy is a good website to buy slime from. There are a lot of choices on Etsy.

You can use cornstarch to renew it if it loses its consistency and keep it contained unless playing with it so that it won't dry up. It will not last forever, but these tips will help it last longer.

You can use all edible ingredients, such as starburst or marshmallows.

No, using shaving gel just doesn't work out. It gives your slime a weird, gross texture.

You can draw on it with a yellow marker or use paint.

Glue would work, but the butter slime would have a better consistency if you use shampoo or cornstarch.

Yes, it does. You just have to be careful with how much you add to your slime, because too much can cause your slime to become over-activated and fail.

If it is too sticky, add borax. If it is too hard, microwave it for thirty seconds.

No. Unfortunately, even the most basic slime still requires multiple ingredients to be successfully created. You could always play with clay by itself, but it won’t have the same ASMR values as real butter slime and may not spread as well either.

Butter slime is slime with modeling clay in it. It makes it super smooth and soft.

You can use things like contact lens-cleaning liquids or lotion.

To make it less sticky, add baby oil and to make it more firm, add shaving cream or more glue. Glue works best.

It probably didn't work because you didn't add enough activator. Some examples of good activators are cornstarch and liquid laundry detergent.

No. You need some kind of activator to hold the glue together. Otherwise, it would just be a goopy mess.

No, if you use flour, the consistency will be more like of a dough. It will not even stretch like slime because flour does not have the properties to make slime like cornstarch. But, you can make a simple slime using glue and borax, liquid detergent or contact lens solution and then mix some shampoo and flour together to make like a crumbly clay consistency and mix it in the slime. This will also make a simple soft and stretchy butter slime!

Yes, the color doesn't matter. The tutorial chose to make the slime color yellow. The color chosen doesn't affect the slime.
