Paper squishy

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been obsessed with making paper squishies lately, and my latest creation, a Hershey's Red White & Blue package squishy, turned out super cute! I even rated it a 7/10 for squishiness. It was perfect for celebrating the Fourth of July with its festive blue and white star borders. If you're wondering how to make your own awesome paper squishies, especially food-themed ones, you're in the right place! Making a Hershey's paper squishy is easier than you think! First, you'll need to design your wrapper. I used the classic Hershey's Red White & Blue design, even adding little graham crackers and cookies to the packaging detail for extra fun. You can print out a template or draw your own. Once you have your design, color it in if needed, then cut it out. Remember to leave a small border for taping. Next, laminate it with clear tape – this makes it durable and gives it a nice shine. Fold your design into a box shape, taping the sides, but leave one side open. Now comes the fun part: stuffing! I usually use plastic bags, cotton, or even old sponges to get that perfect squishy feel. Don't overstuff, or it won't be squishy enough! Once it feels just right, tape up the last opening. Voila! Your very own Hershey's paper squishy! Beyond Hershey's, there are so many amazing food paper squishy ideas! I've seen some incredible Buldak ramen paper squishies – those fiery noodle packs are just begging to be squished. For savory snack lovers, think about chips paper squishies or even a fun Pringles can design. Candy paper squishies are also super popular; imagine making a giant Jolly Rancher, Snickers, or even an Oreo paper squishy template. Froot Loops boxes also make for super colorful and fun squishies. The key is to pick designs with clear, recognizable packaging. Want your squishy to be extra squishy? Here are my top tips: 1. Use soft, lightweight stuffing. Plastic bags crinkle nicely! 2. Don't tape too tightly around the edges; leave a tiny bit of give. 3. For durable squishies, make sure every surface is covered with tape. If you're struggling with drawing, search for 'paper squishy template' for your favorite snack. There are tons of free printable templates online for things like Buldak ramen paper squishy template or even common snack paper squishy designs. This makes the process much quicker and ensures your squishy looks professional. You can always personalize them later with your own rating or 'Fourth of July' themes! Making paper squishies is such a relaxing and creative hobby. It’s perfect for when you want a fun, low-cost craft. What's your favorite food item you'd love to turn into a paper squishy?
