Gathering Your Supplies
When you open the Meetscrafts Cat Paw Squishy Toy DIY Kit, you'll find all the neatly - packed essentials you need to craft your adorable cat - paw squishy:
- Cat claw mold*1: A silicone mold in the shape of a cat paw, the key tool for forming the basic shape of your squishy toy. Made of quality silicone, it ensures smooth demolding and helps create a squishy with vivid cat - paw details.
- Silicone Rubber Gel*1 (A120ML + B120ML): Two components that, when mixed in the right ratio, give the squishy its soft, slow - rising texture. Accurate mixing of these is crucial for the perfect squishy feel.
- Silicone dye 10g*2: Come in 4 colors (as shown in the picture: Sky Blue, Milky Brown, Olive Green and another one), allowing you to add vibrant hues to your cat - paw squishy. Customize its color to your heart's content, whether you want a realistic cat - paw shade or a totally unique color combo.
- Flocking powder*2: These special powders can be used to give your finished cat - paw squishy a fuzzy, velvety surface. Add a touch of flocking powder to certain areas, like the paw pads, to make the squishy look and feel even more like a real cat paw.
- tool*2: A measuring cup and a stirring stick, assisting you in accurately measuring and thoroughly mixing the silicone rubber gel components.
- PVC bag*4: Useful for storing your completed cat - paw squishy or small parts during the crafting process, keeping everything tidy and organized.
-
Airplane box*1: Provides a sturdy and proper way to store or transport your DIY cat - paw squishy kit components, protecting them from damage.
Step - by - Step Making Process
Mix the Glue
Place a clean mixing cup on a weighing scale. Pour Component A and Component B of the silicone rubber gel into the cup in a strict 1:1 ratio. Use the scale to double - check the measurements for accuracy. Thoroughly stir the two components together. This sets the base for the ideal consistency and texture of your squishy toy, so take care and don’t rush this key step.
Add Silicone Dye
After fully mixing the gel components, it’s time to bring in color! Add a small amount of silicone dye to the mixture first. Slowly increase the amount until you get the color intensity you want. Stir vigorously to make sure the dye spreads evenly throughout the gel – this way, your squishy will have a smooth, uniform hue.Stir Like Crazy!
Once the dye is added, keep stirring the mixture with energy. Really give it a good mix! This step helps ensure the color is fully blended and the gel reaches a smooth state, getting it ready for the next phase.Pour into the Mold
Carefully pour the now - colored (and if you used it, glittery) silicone mixture into the cat paw - shaped mold. Fill it right to the top. Keep an eye out for air bubbles – if you spot any, gently tap the mold on a flat surface to get rid of them. This helps your finished squishy have a flawlessly smooth surface.Leave for 4 Hours to Shape
Put the filled mold in a safe, undisturbed spot. Let it sit for 4 hours so the silicone can harden and take on the exact shape of the cat paw mold. Don’t move or touch the mold during this time – any interference could make the silicone shift and ruin the squishy’s shape.Pour in the White Squishy Glue & Leave for 4 Hours to Shape
After the first setting period, take the mold and pour in the white squishy glue as shown. Then, leave it undisturbed for another 4 hours. This second setting stage helps enhance the texture and final form of your cat paw squishy, making it even more squishy - perfect.Put it in Water and Demold it
When the second 4 - hour waiting period is over, it’s time to reveal your creation! To make demolding easier, put the mold in water first. Let it soak briefly – this loosens the squishy from the mold. Then, gently peel away the silicone mold. Go slow and be careful, since the squishy might still be a bit delicate. With patience, you’ll get your complete cat paw squishy out in one piece.Pour the Powder and Put it into a Bag
Finally, get the powder (like flocking powder, if included to give a fuzzy texture) ready. Pour it on or work it into the squishy as you like to add extra charm. Once you’re happy with the look, place your finished cat paw squishy into a PVC bag. Now it’s safely stored and ready to squeeze, show off, or gift!
