Cover squishies
Necessary materials:
- transparent cover;
- filler;
- felt-tip pens;
- black permanent marker;
- sequins;
- dry pastel (gouache can be used);
- scissors;
- Scotch;
- paper.
Excipients:
- cotton wool;
- synthetic winterizer.
Step-by-step instruction:
- We make a stencil out of paper: draw the outline and the main lines of the figure and cut it out. Let's say our squishy is in the shape of a diamond. We put a stencil under the cover folded in half and draw a shape with a marker on both sides of the future squishy. Cut along the contour.
- We prepare cotton wool / synthetic winterizer. First you need to grate dry pastels on a fine grater to a powdery state. Choosing beautiful colors: pink, purple, blue, light blue. We divide the filler into parts and sprinkle each one with powder of a different color. We rub the pastel into the material, you can put it in a bag and wrinkle it thoroughly so that everything is well painted over. Add different sparkles.
- We carefully glue both sides of the cover with tape, leaving only a small hole for the filler. We lay colored cotton wool with sparkles (or synthetic winterizer) in layers, you get a beautiful transition. Close the unsealed part with tape. You can make beautiful inscriptions with a permanent marker.
Making edible squishies
Some hostesses make jelly figurines on their own, but why waste time when there are packages of excellent jelly bears on sale. Together with sweets, they take the same worms, crocodiles or other figures that children like most of all. You will also need small baking tins.
Edible squishes are made as follows:
- a pack of gummy figurines is poured into a bowl;
- warmed up in the microwave until the mass melts;
- fill forms laid on a flat base;
- leave to solidify at room temperature.
After 4-5 hours, delicious squishy is ready, which will soothe and give joy. And to make a viscous squish slime, 40 gummy candies are melted in a microwave oven, powdered sugar, pieces of chocolate, nuts are added and a large slime is sculpted with your hands. Children adore a viscous mass that adheres perfectly to their hands, besides, it is sweet and with nuts.

Master class number 6. Squishy from socks
A very simple squishy bagel can be made from socks. It will be pleasant to crumple, and to create it, you will need materials that everyone has at home. In addition, the work will take only 15-20 minutes.
Step 1. First you need to take an ordinary clean sock and cut off the extreme front part of it with scissors (part for the fingers).
The front of the toe is trimmed
Step 2. Next, the sock must be turned inside out.

Step 3. From the side of the shank, you need to form a small pocket, as if tucking the sock (as in the picture).

Step 4. It is convenient to use synthetic fluff as a filler. Now you can start filling the future "bagel". It is required to take a small piece of padding polyester and place it in the formed pocket.

Step 5. Thus, you need to tightly fill the entire pocket with fluff so that it looks like in the picture.
As a result, the pocket should look like this
Step 6. The rest of the sock must be wrapped around the blank with padding polyester.

Squishy rolls from a sealing bundle
To work you will need:
- sealing harness;
- acrylic paints;
- scissors;
- hot melt glue.
Scheme of actions:
- Cut the tourniquet into pieces that resemble the size of real rolls. Paint each piece differently. For example, cover one with black and green paint on top, imitating a nori leaf, the second with red specks resembling caviar, and the third with yellow dots similar to sesame seeds.
- Using scissors or a utility knife, remove the core from the rolls and cut into pieces.
- Paint each piece with paints of different colors. For example, green, like a cucumber or avocado, or red, imitating fish.
- Using hot glue, glue the "filling" pieces into the middle of the roll.
