You’re gonna have to zoom in

Hey everyone! So glad you enjoyed peeking into my paper squishy collection. It's truly one of my favorite hobbies, and seeing all those colorful creations like my Snickers paper squishy, Pop Rocks, and even that quirky Spongebob Dill Pickle Aioli just brings a smile to my face. After getting so many questions about how I make them, I thought I'd share a quick guide on how you can create your very own Snickers paper squishy – it's easier than you think! First off, what you'll need is pretty simple: some printer paper (or any paper you have lying around), markers or colored pencils, scissors, tape (scotch tape works best for durability and a smooth finish), and most importantly, some stuffing! You can use old plastic bags, cotton balls, or even cut-up sponges if you want a really 'squishy' feel. Step-by-Step Snickers Paper Squishy Tutorial: Design Time: Grab your paper and draw two identical Snickers bar outlines. Think about the classic wrapper – brown with the iconic blue "SNICKERS" logo. Don't forget to leave a small border around the edges for taping later! One side will be the front, the other the back. You can even add little details like the nutrition facts or expiration date for extra realism. Color It In: Now for the fun part – coloring! Use your markers or colored pencils to bring your Snickers design to life. Make it as vibrant and realistic as possible. This is where your creativity really shines! Laminate (Optional but Recommended): To make your squishy more durable and glossy, cover both of your colored Snickers cut-outs with clear tape. Overlap the tape slightly to ensure full coverage, then trim any excess. This acts like a DIY laminate and protects your artwork. Cut It Out: Carefully cut out your two Snickers shapes. Try to cut precisely along your drawn lines or just inside them for a neat finish. Tape Them Together: Place your two Snickers pieces face-to-face (or back-to-back if you did two different designs). Start taping the edges together, leaving a small opening (about 1-2 inches) at the bottom or side. Make sure the tape seals well so your stuffing doesn't escape. Stuff It Up! This is where your squishy comes to life! Start gently pushing your chosen stuffing material into the opening. Don't overstuff it, or it won't be squishy. You want it to be soft and compressible. Experiment with different amounts to get your desired level of squishiness. Seal the Deal: Once your Snickers squishy is perfectly stuffed, tape up the remaining opening securely. And voilà! You've got your very own Snickers paper squishy! This method works for almost any paper squishy, whether you're making a Pop-Tarts box, a Twizzlers pack, or even a tiny Lancôme mascara for your mini collection. I've even seen people make elaborate Mike and Ike boxes! The key is to have fun with it. Don't worry if your first one isn't perfect; practice makes progress. I hope this little guide inspires you to start your own paper squishy collection. It’s such a relaxing and rewarding craft. Imagine all the cool things you could make – maybe an UNO card squishy, or a cute butter stick! The possibilities are endless. Happy squishy making, everyone!
