2. Creative Makeover Ideas

1. Hand-Painted Designs for a Unique Look

If your squishy toy looks too plain, why not add some colors with hand-painting?

✨ How to do it:

1. Wipe the surface of the squishy toy with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
2. Use acrylic paint or silicone-friendly dye to add color with a brush or sponge.
3. After it dries, put on a layer of clear sealant. This will protect the paint and make it last longer.

🎨 Creative Ideas:

• Add cute facial expressions to give your toy more personality!
• Create a gradient color effect for a dreamy aesthetic.
• Use glow-in-the-dark paint for a fun nighttime effect!

2. Combine Squishies to Create New Shapes

Do you have many squishy toys? Try combining them to create new designs!

🔹 How to do it:

1. Choose two or more squishies of different shapes.
2. Use strong adhesive or hot glue to attach them together.
3. Let the glue dry completely before playing with your new creation.

🌟 Fun Ideas:

• Mix animal squishies to create hybrid creatures (e.g., Cat + Bunny = "Cabbit")
• Stack squishies into a fun “squishy tower” for extra playability!

3. Add Accessories for Extra Charm

Small decorations can make your squishy toy even more special!

💡 Accessory Ideas:

• Mini hats or bows – to make it look cuter
