DIY paper squishies are made from, you guessed it, paper! No foam or puffy paint needed. The paper is drawn on, then covered with clear packing tape. The shape is cut, then the sides are taped together and the form is stuffed so that it is squishy! I start my classes with a face-to-face introduction and we all introduce ourselves (if your child is uncomfortable speaking to the group they can let me know in the chat and I will skip over them). I will give a step-by-step demonstration using my second camera which faces my hands and table. This class is for beginners; no squishy experience required. If we have time at the end of class, learners are welcome to share squishies they've made or collected. I never cancel classes due to low enrollment. However, I will email you to let you know if your learner is the only one, in case they are uncomfortable with a one-on-one class.

Other Details
Supply List
> Two pieces of plain white computer paper. >Markers, crayons and/or color pencils. >Clear packing tape. I use a 2 inch wide roll. >Scissors. >Pencil. >Stuffing Options: 1. I use fiberfill or pillow stuffing. You can buy it new at Walmart and craft stores, but I cut up an old pillow and took the stuffing out. 2. If you do not have pillow stuffing you can use cut up foam, plastic bags (you'll need at least four), dry cleaner bags (you'll need about three). 3. If you don't have any of the above you can use toilet paper or paper towels. ******Please prepare 8 small pieces of packing tape, each about 3/4 of an inch by 2 inches. Attach one end of the tape perpendicular to the rim of a bowl or plate, so that it can be lifted off easily. Please contact me if you have any questions about materials. I'll be happy to help!
