DIY Tropical Chewy Lemonhead Paper Squishy 🍋🌴

Making that Tropical Chewy Lemonhead paper squishy was such a blast, it really got my creative juices flowing! If you're like me and love DIY paper squishies, you've probably thought about what other candies would make awesome squishies. A lot of my friends have been asking about how to make a Sour Patch Kids paper squishy, and it's definitely a popular choice! The beauty of a Sour Patch Kids paper squishy lies in its iconic shape and vibrant colors. To create one, you'll follow a similar process to the Lemonhead. First, find a clear image of a Sour Patch Kids wrapper or even a large image of the individual candy. You can print it out, or if you're feeling artistic, draw it freehand! Remember to draw two identical sides. Cut them out, leaving a small border for taping. Next comes the laminating or taping part. For durability and that satisfying squeezable texture, I suggest covering both sides with clear packing tape or a laminator sheet. This is crucial for making your paper squishy last. Once laminated, place the two sides together, face out, and tape three of the four edges securely. Make sure there are no gaps! Now for the filling! You can use cotton balls, foam, or even plastic bags cut into small pieces for an extra crinkly sound (which is great for ASMR-style squishy fun). Don't overfill, but make sure it's plump enough to be satisfying. Once filled, tape up the last edge, sealing it completely. Voilà! You've got your very own Sour Patch Kids paper squishy – perfect for your collection alongside your Tropical Lemonheads squishy. For anyone just starting with easy paper squishies, here are a few extra tips I've picked up. Using wider, clear packing tape generally works better than thinner Scotch tape for sealing, as it provides more coverage and stronger adhesion. When taping, try to overlap your tape pieces slightly to prevent air from escaping. Also, consider drawing a small 'mouth' or opening on one side before taping that you can temporarily open to adjust the filling later if needed, then re-seal. Don't be afraid to experiment with different candy wrappers! Think about other colorful and iconic candies like Skittles, Reese's cups, or even classic bubble gum. The possibilities for candy crafts are endless.
