BEFORE I learned how to make squishies VS AFTER💀

2/19 Edited to

... Read moreWhen I first started making squishies, my creations were quite basic and lacked the softness and vibrant appeal I admired in popular squishmallows. Watching detailed tutorials like those from Time2TwinIt was a game changer. These videos helped me understand the importance of selecting the right materials, such as high-density foam or memory foam, which give squishies their satisfying, slow-rise characteristic. One key tip I've learned is to use safe, non-toxic paints or sealants carefully to avoid cracking or peeling, ensuring the charm stays intact after multiple squeezes. Experimenting with different shapes, like those inspired by the 'Charms' mentioned in some creative inked tutorials, adds a personal touch that makes the squishy stand out. Additionally, papercraft techniques can sometimes be incorporated into the design phase, especially when planning unique patterns or textures before painting. This enriches the crafting experience and allows you to customize every detail. For anyone eager to dive into squishy making, be patient and practice regularly. Sharing progress on platforms like YouTube and tagging communities (#squishymaker, #squishies) helped me connect with others who offered advice and encouragement, turning a simple craft into a passionate hobby.
