... Read moreHey fellow squishy lovers! Have you ever seen those super satisfying, fluffy taba squishies and wished you could make one yourself, especially if you already have a collection of cute mochi squishies? Well, good news! It's totally possible to transform your regular mochi squishy into a delightful taba squishy with just a few simple steps. I recently tried this out, and the results were so rewarding – you get that amazing soft, fluffy texture that's perfect for stress relief! First off, let's gather our supplies. You'll need: A mochi squishy (the softer, the better!) Cornstarch or baby powder (this is key for that fluffy feel) A small, sharp craft knife or scissors (be careful!) A small funnel or a rolled-up piece of paper Optional: Acrylic paint or fabric markers if you want to customize its look, and some clear sealant for durability. Step-by-Step Guide to Transforming Your Mochi Squishy: Preparation is Key: Gently clean your mochi squishy with a damp cloth and let it air dry completely. We want a clean canvas to start with. Making the Incision: This is where you'll need to be precise. Carefully make a small, discreet incision on your mochi squishy. I usually go for an inconspicuous spot, like the bottom or back, so it won't show much. The cut only needs to be big enough for your funnel or rolled paper to fit. Remember, you can always make it slightly bigger, but you can't make it smaller! The "Fluff" Factor: Now comes the magic! This is how we make it a true taba squishy. Take your cornstarch or baby powder and, using your funnel or rolled paper, gently pour it into the incision you just made. You'll want to fill it up gradually, squeezing the squishy occasionally to distribute the powder and see how much more you can add. The more powder you add, the fluffier and more satisfyingly squishy it will become. This is what gives it that unique "taba" feel! Sealing the Deal: Once you're happy with the fluffiness, it's time to seal the incision. You can use a tiny dab of super glue (be very sparing and quick, as it can melt some squishy materials) or a strong fabric adhesive. Some clever DIYers even use a small patch of clear tape or vinyl for a less permanent seal. Let it dry completely before moving on. Optional Customization: If you want to personalize your new taba squishy, now's the time! You can use acrylic paints mixed with fabric medium for flexibility, or special fabric markers to add details or patterns. Just remember to let each layer dry thoroughly. Caring for Your Taba Mochi Squishy: How to Keep it Fresh! Taking care of your DIY taba squishy ensures it stays wonderfully fluffy and clean for a long time. One common question I get is, "can you wash a taba squishy?" The answer is yes, but with caution! Gentle Cleaning: For everyday grime, just gently wipe it with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, you can use a tiny bit of mild soap on the cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove it thoroughly. Avoid submerging it in water, especially if your seal isn't perfectly waterproof, as water can get inside and clump the cornstarch. Keeping the Fluff: Over time, some of the internal powder might settle or escape. If your squishy starts to feel less fluffy, you can always carefully reopen the incision and add a little more cornstarch. Storing: Keep your taba squishy in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can make the material sticky or discolored. I've found that these homemade taba squishies are not only fun to make but also incredibly satisfying to play with. The transformation from a simple mochi to a fluffy taba squishy is truly a game-changer for squishy collectors. Give it a try, and enjoy your new, super-soft creation!
