Ready to get started? Making these little Halloween cuties is easier than you might think!
- Start by grabbing your free Halloween squishies printable using the email sign-up form above or below. Once you receive your printable, print the Halloween characters onto regular white printer paper.
- Carefully cover the Halloween characters on the paper with clear packing tape but covering the paper with the packing tape.
- Cut around the outside edges of each character. Make sure you have a front and back piece for each squishy.
- Place the front and back pieces together and tape around the edges, leaving a small opening.
- Gently fill the squishy with a little polyester stuffing. You want it to be soft and puffy without being too full.

Tips for Making the Best Paper Squishies
Want your Halloween squishies to turn out extra cute? Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind.
- Don’t overstuff them. A little stuffing goes a long way! Overfilling can make it harder to seal the edges and keep the squishies soft.
- Use clear packing tape. Wider tape makes it easier to cover the characters and helps give the squishies their smooth finish.
- Seal the edges carefully. Make sure there aren’t any gaps where the stuffing can escape.
