First and foremost, you need to prepare materials for making a squishy toy. These materials can be easily found on shopping websites, and it's best to choose branded glue to ensure its safety. Our toys use food-grade glue, guaranteeing the materials are non-toxic and safe. The taba squishy toy is a great example of such quality and safety standards.
Materials Needed:
- Hamster silicone mold
- Petroleum jelly (Vaseline)
- Mini scale
- Disposable cups
- Mixing sticks
- Squishy-special color paste
Before you start making the toy, it's important to experiment with the ratio of AB glue, as the feeling varies with different glue brands. Initially, try an AB glue ratio of 1:1. If the texture isn't satisfactory, you can adjust the ratio to achieve the desired softness, just like with a taba squishy toy.
Mixing the Glue:
- Thoroughly mix AB glue until both types of glue are fully combined. Ensure that you stir the mixture well, similar to the mixing process for a taba squishy toy.
Adding Color Paste:
- Add the color paste little by little, mixing it thoroughly into the glue. Proper mixing in this step prevents color settling later on, just as in the process of making a taba squishy toy.
Degassing:
- Use a vacuum degassing machine to remove any air bubbles from the mixed glue. If the glue is self-degassing, you can skip this step. Otherwise, degassing is crucial to avoid bubbles in the final product, which can affect its appearance, maintaining the high quality of a taba squishy toy.
Filling the Mold:
- Apply a thin and even layer of petroleum jelly inside the mold to make demolding easier. Carefully pour the glue into the mold. This is a crucial step for ensuring the final product meets the standards of a taba squishy toy.
Waiting for the Glue to Dry:
- Drying time varies depending on the brand of glue. Even quick-drying glue needs at least 2 hours. For best results, wait for over 6 hours. This step is similar to the drying process of a taba squishy toy.

Demolding:
- Once the glue is completely dry, gently demold the squishy. The process can be easier with water, but if you applied Vaseline, it should come out smoothly. Be careful not to damage the mold, especially with complex structures, just as you would handle a delicate taba squishy toy.
Coloring:
- Once demolded, you can test the hand feel of the squishy. Using color powder or eyeshadow, carefully color the squishy. Apply it little by little until you achieve even coverage, just as how a taba squishy toy may be meticulously colored.
Flocking (Optional):
- If you want a flocked texture, you need to purchase flocking powder, available in different lengths such as 1.5mm or 3mm. For small squishies, use 1.5mm to reduce shedding. For larger squishies, a 3mm length gives a nice fluffy look. Place the flocked squishy in a transparent bag for handling to avoid excess shedding, and remember to wash your hands after playing with it, ensuring the experience is as pleasant as using a taba squishy toy.
- Everyone's preference for the squishiness varies, and you can create a bursting sensation, a cement-like feel, or adjust the rebound speed by playing with the AB glue ratio, similar to how variations exist in taba squishy toys.
- That's the complete guide on how to make a squishy toy. Have fun! If you are interested in ready-made products, feel free to visit our website and bring home a cute squishy hamster that adheres to the quality standards of a taba squishy toy.
