5 Squishy Makeovers | Re-Decorating Cheap Squishies - YouTube

Hey guys so today, I'm gonna be doing something that should be really fun

I'm gonna do five different squishy

Makeovers! so I have here five very cheap Squishy's that I got online ($1-3), except for the soft and slow cream puff

But we'll get to that later

I'm gonna try to make them better by painting them cutting them up doing whatever I feel like needs to be done to improve them

Exhibit A

We have this little cookie. It's actually a really cute

Shape it says eat me, but I'm not sure that's a good idea considering the filling looks like it's rancid also

there's a hole right there and just in general the coloring is really sloppy and

Uneven, let's quit complaining and give this cookie a makeover.

I'll be using fabric paint by either tulip or

Scribbles for all of these. Right off the bat things are gonna

Get a little violent because I have to stab the squishy right in the center with a toothpick

And I'm thinking this cookie would look good in chocolate. Step 1 remove the paint boogers from the nozzle

I'm gonna start painting the cookie with some chocolate brown fabric paint and making sure to cover the edges of the cookie as well

And I'm just using a popsicle stick to spread the paint the toothpick is there because it allows me to paint both sides

Of the squishy without worrying where to hold it and my hand getting in the way and all that nonsense and once that's all done

I'm gonna take a piece of packing foam and stick the toothpick

Into the foam so that the cookie can dry the paint does take about three to six hours to dry depending on

How thick you've applied it. Once that was dry you can see that there are still some places that could use some more paint

So I'm going to apply another coat just on the top cookie for now because while the paint is wet I'm gonna add some

Polymer clay sprinkles that I've made in advance

I am breaking them in half because those sprinkles were just a little too long for that little cookie to handle you can just sprinkle

Them on like a normal human being but I'm just too much of a control freak for that so I like to put them on

one by one so I can choose exactly where they go, and now I'm turning it over and

Touching up the paint on the bottom cookie as well once that's dry, We can finally take care of that terrible green filling

I'm gonna go with white because I think it has nice contrast with the chocolate cookie let it dry again

And it's done wasn't that fun. I don't know about you, but I quite like the changes that I made to this squishy

I really like the chocolate color of the cookie the little eat me words on there died you can't read them anymore

But I feel like it really doesn't need it

You shouldn't have to convince me that you're edible you know what I mean, but anyway

I think that the new version looks a lot more appetizing now even though it doesn't say eat me

Moving on to this ice cream

I love the shape of this one and it actually feels like a nice quality foam, but the color selections are gross (laugh's)

The cone comes in a sort of like turd brown and the ice cream is like a mucus yellow

YUM, there's also a lot of paint missing and lots of little holes in this one which is not cute. Disclaimer!

I know that this stuff is to be expected with cheap squishy, so I'm not complaining

I'm just pointing the things out so that we know what we need to improve on I'm gonna start by mixing together a color for

The cone that I think looks a little more food like and a little less like doo doo and of course apply that to the cone

I used a little jar to hold the squishy upside down while it was drying

You do kind of have to get creative when it comes to setting these things up to dry

You kind of just have to work with whatever you've got laying around in your house and since I have some leftover paint

I'm gonna put that in an empty little paint container to save it that way

I don't have to mix this color and match the color again, because that's a pain, once that dries

I did apply a second coat and once that coat was dry. It's time for the fun part

Which is the ice cream?

I really went back and forth about what color to choose for the ice cream

But I settled on a light purple because I feel like I have a shortage of purple squishies in my collection and you know

That's just not right

So I went with purple as you can see it dried quite a bit darker than it looked when it was wet fabric paint does

Have a tendency to do that F.Y.I.

so just keep that in mind and,

Paying special attention to all those little holes because we want to make sure to cover all those up

And now I'm using a candle holder to hold up the ice-cream. Wail I

Sprinkle-la-fy it oh I swear. I say the cringest things sometimes anyway

I'm dropping the sprinkles on where I want them, and then I use a pin to

Kind of push them down and snuggle them into the paint so that they stick really well and once that's all dry

It's complete. I think the new colors are much more friendly and happier

I feel like the old one was kind of depressing or like sick or something

I don't know. I'm also glad to see that all those little holes are now covered up so anyone with trippa-phobia

No longer has to worry about this one

Somebody's gonna get triggered by me saying that just watch

Next we have this popsicle which comes with a lot of cheap-looking sprinkles that are already falling off. lovely!

I feel like this is like the roasting section of the video where I just throw tons of

insults at the squishies lots of little defects and uneven coloring

But the worst part is the stick it's really not much of a stick. It's got big gouges taken out of it

It just looks sad to be honest this guy needs a lot of work

Starting with those sprinkles some of them brushed right off like almost too easily, and then the rest are like

Cemented on so I had to take some tweezers and pull them off one by one it takes some patience

But it's it's gonna be worth it in the end

I think I did pull them off as carefully as I could but he was left with some battle scars

So I used some scissors to try to smooth out the surface just a little bit

I made sure not to get too carried away because it's really easy to go too far and you make it worse

Now to take care of that stick that stick. I'm just gonna chop it off. It's no longer welcome here

I'm gonna use a real popsicle stick in its place

So I have to cut a slit in the bottom take some fabric glue dip the stick into the glue and then insert the stick

Surgery is a messy thing so now we have to clean up all the blood and guts that are left over

Finally we can start painting

So I'm gonna start with painting a white stripe because I decided on a watermelon theme for this popsicle

I don't want to use plain red and green

I want them to be a little bit lighter

So I'm mixing them with white and I'm painting the bottom while the white is still wet so I have to be really careful

About not smearing the two colors together because we don't want that and now I'm going in with the red

I'm gonna leave the bite-mark alone for now. I'll deal with that once this dries

I had kind of a hard time coming up with how to let this one dry

But I ended up using a binder clip on the stick and then duct taping that down to a piece of paper

It's not pretty, but it works now that that's dry you can see the texture from the foam its back

So it's definitely necessary to do a second coat on this one and here we go again

I'm definitely making sure to neaten things up as I go the first coat in general is really messy

And then I tend to neaten things up a lot during the second coat and I'm using black sprinkles to represent the watermelon seeds

Not too many cuz nobody likes the watermelon with a ton of seeds, so I'm just putting a couple

I really, love how this one turned out because it was quite a process to fix this one up

Really, love how this one turned out because it was quite a process to fix this one up

But I think it's a big improvement. I think the new one is just a lot more interesting and unique

That's one of the great things about this is that you can make whatever you want

It doesn't have to be just a generic design next is the coffee

Coffee or a latte drink not really sure what to call this one

The top has a lot of rips and tears and holes and again

We have this greenish yellow color the foam itself does feel pretty nice for this one

It's very soft, but I do have a little bit of a problem with the straw

It's already starting to tear off and it kind of looks a little awkward to me like it's too small and it looks out of

Place so I went with a light pink for the cup. It was weird because usually with food items

It's okay to have a little bit of texture in the paint, but for a cup you probably want it to be smooth

I'm using a candle to let the squishy dry

and, Shocker. I did apply a second coat another coat of pink you can see my struggle to get it smooth

Shocker. I did apply a second coat another coat of pink you can see my struggle to get it smooth

And now we can start dealing with the top of that which at this point

It's very ripped and broken from me digging my nails into it so well done

But luckily it doesn't matter because the paint will fix all those problems anyway

And I am just cutting off that straw because I wasn't a fan, and I thought it would look better without it

I'm gonna go with white for the whipped cream which is very original

I know who would have thought to use white for whipped cream

Crazy the paint works really well to seal up all of those holes and tears and make everything nice again there

We go and I painted the actual drink in rainbow, which is what I'm starting on now

But this got really

Messed up because about half way around I realized that I had way more room than I thought and I wasn't spacing the colors out

Properly, so I had to scrape off some of the paint and the color started getting mixed and things started getting messy

But it's okay don't panic

I just figured out the spacing and then I smooth the paint out a bit and

Left it alone to let it dry

It's not pretty right now, but I can just go over it with the second coat so I'm not gonna worry

I gave the whipped cream a second coat and then I went right back to work on the rainbow drink

I added some drips which is much easier when you paint straight from the bottle

But since I mixed my own colors for this

I had to draw the drips on with a toothpick which takes so much longer, but it's it's fine

and, for the top, I just went in with little dots. I guess they're like little candy pieces or circular sprinkles

I don't know something cute and festive and the last step was to clean up the bottom edge of the whipped cream

and, Woila here's the final squishy, I think it looks so much cuter than before

I don't know something cute and festive and the last step was to clean up the bottom edge of the whipped cream and

Voila here's the final squishy, I think it looks so much cuter than before

I'm really happy with the colors, and this was definitely the most time-consuming paint job of the five squishies

I decorated this using the new soft and slow deco markers only to find out that after a little while the color will rub off and

And the last victim is this creampuff which has been in my last two squishy videos

I

decorated this using the new soft and slow deco markers only to find out that after a little while the color will rub off and

Smear, and it's not pretty, but I've been complaining about this one for like two weeks now

So it's finally time to do something about it

I wanted to kind of do something similar with the colors as the original so I went with a blue and pink cotton candy

theme now with this one I was a little concerned because I've been hearing that soft and slow squishies will not hold fabric paint and

That it will just peel off so I was super worried that I was gonna spend all this time on the squishy

And then it was just gonna peel off

I think people were having problems with the soft and slow squishies that are very smooth like the animals so off-camera

I was working on one of the animals and I did have the problem with the paint peeling off the surface of the foam is

So smooth that the paint has nothing to grab on to so it just comes right off after it dries

Luckily the cream puff doesn't have that same problem because it actually has quite a lot of texturing on it

So it's fine

I was super disappointed with the animals though because I was really looking forward to decorating those

So I've been

Experimenting for the past couple days with some different ways to get the paint to stick and I think I may have had a breakthrough

And just figured out a way that works

But I'll keep you guys updated and back to what this video is actually about I'm putting some nice cotton candy colored sprinkles

Into the center and when I say cotton candy colored

I just mean blue and pink and then I'm using a toothpick to put some powdered sugar on the top and

Hope you enjoyed watching these squishy makeovers I feel as though I like these squishys

I do like how this came out, but it's probably my least favorite of the group

I just I feel like I need to say that because it's the truth, but I do like how it came out

I

Hope you enjoyed watching these squishy makeovers I feel as though I like these quiz she's a lot better than they were before
