It’s Craft Lightning time again and this month is party crafts, so I made this adorable Pumpkin Squishy for a fun Halloween party activity!

Materials:

• Poly-fil Squishy Foam (available at Walmart too)
• Die Cutting Machine with pumpkin die and cutting pads
• Black and Orange Paint
• Paint Brushes
• A place to paint (ie. paper plate, paper towels, newspaper)

How I made it:

Remove the Squishy Foam from it’s packaging. Place the foam on the pumpkin die making sure to completely cover the pumpkin outline of the die. Place the die and foam between two cutting pads.

Squishing the cutting pads together, run the die, foam and pads through the die cutting machine.

Remove the foam from between the pads, throwing away the excess.

Now you are ready to paint. Using a any kind of paint brush, depending on how much time you want spent on the activity, paint the foam. 

Allow the paint to dry.

Now you are ready to squish away on your very own homemade pumpkin squishy.

TIP: You can also just cut your own design with scissors. I suggest drawing it out on the top of the foam and then cutting along the lines.
