How To Make a DIY Squishy/Stress Ball 💜

Hello guys! I have this idea that I post a “how to” every week on Sunday just to be fun! I’ll start with thissss




Materials

  1. Nano/Alien tape- would recommend 2-3 inches wide!
  2. Scissors
  3. I tap of water that is small
  4. Glitter and charms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the nano tape so that it is the desired length

  1. Fold in half but only stick the two ends together, DO NOT stick it all the way in half.

  1. Stick the bottom ends together. DO NOT stick the top part yet, because we will be filling it with water or, something else.

  2. Fill the little ‘pouch’ with your desired glitter and charms. Try not to get it on the top part for that may make it not sticky and not close.

  3. Insert the pouch with glitter in your tap and make sure to peel of the other side of the tape or else it won’t stretch.

  4. With your two fingers pinch the sides of the opening so no water splashes out while you fill it. It should expand like a balloon

  5. Let it expand to your desired size but not too much or it will pop, quickly pluck of the ball from the tap and pinch the open closed hard with your fingers. Pinch it for about 30 seconds-1 minute or more

  6. Cut off the excess tape and your done! Remember it might not last long if the edges were cut too short or it pops so be careful!

I’d like to see your stress ball! Take a picture and show it off in the comments! Thank you for reading this :heart_hands::sparkles::cherry_blossom:

I have a bunch of nano tape and your stress ball looks so cool! One Question: How do you seal the top securely enough so that the water inside the ball stays inside and doesn’t spill out while filling it with water?
I’ve tried pinching it but it doesn’t work
