Let’s add to my paper squishy collection

Paper squishies are a wonderfully creative and relaxing craft to add to your collection. Based on my experience making an Amazon box paper squishy, I found that using everyday materials such as paper, scissors, tape, and colored markers allows for a lot of customization and fun. One tip I’ve discovered is to carefully fold and tape the sides to create a small hollow space that can be stuffed lightly to give the squishy a satisfying texture. Leaving a small hole before stuffing is key to making it both squeezable and durable. For those interested in expanding their paper squishy collection, experimenting with different shapes and designs adds a delightful variety. For example, you can try making paper squishies in the shape of popular packaging boxes or even transform your favorite brand logos into a squishy version. Coloring and drawing on the paper before assembling the squishy lets you add your personal artistic touch, which makes each piece unique. One challenge I encountered was ensuring the tape held well during use without peeling off quickly. Using clear or reinforced tape and firmly pressing each taped edge makes a noticeable difference in durability. Additionally, you can try layering several sheets of paper before folding to increase sturdiness. Overall, crafting your own paper squishy collection is not just a fun hobby but also a way to decompress creatively. Whether you’re sharing them as gifts or simply enjoying the tactile relief they offer, these DIY paper squishies can bring joy and stress relief in a simple, accessible way.
