Welcome back to Red Ted Art. A number of you have asked for some slow rising
paper squishies. It has been quite a while
since you've asked it's taken me this
long to get around to making them. So paper
squishies... they are really fun and easy to make. Of course  this is not
the same as a shop bought one but if
you've only got a tape and paper at home
I think they're really fun and quirky
alternative. Come on let's take a look
and see how they are made. So to make our make our emoji squishy we need some yellow paper some
contrasting papers and pens and a bowl
for measuring.  I'm gonna make it quite
big because I think they squish up better
when they're bigger and if you don't
have yellow paper - that's totally fine
just use white paper and colour it in.
First of course that will take a little
bit longer. I am going to cut out two circles
of yellow. There's a little bump
here in my bowl cut these out now we've
got our yellow it's time to decorate
them that way around I'm gonna draw get
some scrap paper so that my black pen 
doesn't go through and mark my paper
underneath. First you will need an
eye. I'm doing the cheeky emoji face you
can use a lid like this maybe to trace
it if you need help
Next I'm going to draw with a mouth. I don't know if it's big enough I might
have to do another another eye but I'll
have a think about that. Actually it is a
pencil first.
and then we need a tonugue which in this case normally you
have the tongue sticking out just over
your emoji's face because this is gonna
be a squishy I'm just gonna make it the
same so it won't go over the
edge. Check that you're happy with all
the dimensions. I think that's quite good.
I mean the I could be a bit bigger but I
think it's okay. And glued down
There we go, the basic emoji face done right. You have to turn it into a squishy so
you will need sellotape. As you're probably aware those of you that made the paper
squishy as before. We're just gonna
take normal tape and start taping
everything together basically take a
piece put it over the bottom if it as
straight as possible and tuck it around
the end now the back of your mode your
squishy we're never be as neat as the
front of your squishy so this is gonna
have some extra folds and stuff on it
but don't worry about that the important
thing is is that you've got your front
as neat as possible that's a bit you're
kind of playing with now turn it around
and make sure you cover all the back
with tape too so time to stuff now what
are we gonna stuff it with I've done
some research into this and looked at
many of the paper squishies out there
and it looks like the best thing is to
have toys stuffing or in our case we
actually use an old pillow stuffing or not to locate an old pillow you can use plastic
bags or the absolute best is memory foam but who's got memory foam?I certainly
don't! So I think using toy stuffing if you've
got some and if you don't just use
plastic bags that's happened to small
pieces or use you can also use cotton
ball but I think if you've got if you've
gone on pillow at home that your parents
don't need anymore this is a really good
way of recycling that old pillow into
something fun to play with now you might
find some little gaps as you stuff it if
you do just make sure you put some more
tape over it I think this is okay
I might be a little gap there and then I
have a see whether it's a nice
consistency I think quite full is good
you can experiment with the different
amounts of stuffing maybe putting quite
a lot in it's always surprises me how
much fits in so if you're making this
with paper bags you know have a you
might have to have a couple of extra
bags lying around already just stuff and
now you're gonna shut it huh was a
sticky tape on here here we go look at
that it's nice and stuck and then let's
see we've got two species when I made
before let's see oh I think I've got a
little gap let's put a bit more tape at
the bottom that's okay it's part of the
process if this happens to you don't
worry the problem about big holes is
that it won't let your squishy basically
go back into shape if it's too big so
let's make sure that's nice and taped
shut in little holes food because you do
need to let some of the air out when
you're squishing it down okay let's try
that again
and then let's see definitely slow
rising now if you've done a really
really good job of swish of filling and
taping your squishy what you can do is
it might not expand so well you can add
little print prick holes which will help
the air
and out and then expand back into shape
this one works really well. Let's squish it
together and there you have it slowly
rising so yes finally
but much demand I have made some papers
please if you liked this video and you
would like me to do make make more
please do let me know in the comments
and of course there's asked wishes are
all made for you and you know if it's
something that you enjoy we're making we
can make more of it don't you wait there
we go anyway as per usual don't forget
to like, comment and subscribe and we
hope to see you again soon. Take care!
BYE!!!!
