♥ The Failed Smooshins Squishy Maker ♥ youtube.com/watch?v=o8S_Dj3XbTg
I was really excited to try out this rare korean squishy kit. It looks a lot like Rainbow Jellies but with cuter characters and a fancier mould. Unfortunately I was disappointed in many areas with this product but at the same time, it did work and the result was very cute. I adore the character design but wish they would have supplied better silicone. I might try using the same molds with my own squishy gels to see if I can get a nicer result. I don't know the standard retail price of this kit to judge value for money. However if you live outside Korea, then you have to Google "Teenieping Soft Jelly Friends" and there is one seller on eBay that offers it with international shipping. It's obviously significantly more expensive, around $40 per kit.

♥ Transparent Butter Slime with Japanese Clear Clay? ♥ youtube.com/watch?v=PHUas-6o6sA
Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos
A long-awaited experiment trying to make a transparent butter slime again! This time I've collected enough clear modelling clays to create a compilation. I was sort of expecting a lot of these to deactivate and turn sticky but was pleasantly surprised by the unusual range of results.

♥ Clay Cracking Explained ♥ youtu.be/puOMHcQ-zKU
Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos
Here's another clay cracking experiment and this time changing up the inside instead of the topcoat! There was a great suggestion under one of my videos to try squishies instead of clay (I normally try to screenshot the user for credit but unfortunately this comment was so old I couldn't find it anymore). So I decided to make a squishy in the same shape as one of my clay cracking hearts. This was then covered with nail polish and left to dry as usual. The result was surprisingly satisfying!! And best of all, this method is reusable so you can crack the squishy as often as you like by reapplying the nail polish.

♥ Transparent Butter Slime with Japanese Clear Clay? ♥ youtube.com/watch?v=PHUas-6o6sA
Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos
I've noticed a lot of accounts on Chinese social media using this type of clay lately. It's perfectly transparent and can be sculpted similar to Museum Gel or soft Oyumaru. The material can be coloured using pastel dust, mica powder or glitter. I found it on Temu and it's essentially an extremely thick UV resin gel. This makes sense as traditional methods of making clay (with a filler and a binder) are not really compatible with transparency. Resin and silicone are generally the only two materials that can produce crystal clear results. This type of clear putty is easier to use compared to liquid resin and you don't have to use moulds. I can imagine it being useful for making candy, drinks, jewellery or clear charms. You just have to be careful not to touch this with your bare hands. It also goes without saying that this product is not for kids! If you don't have a UV lamp, then holding your piece near a window or in bright sunlight can produce the same effect.

Clear UV Clay: I don't have a direct link as the sellers always change, but you have to just look for "clear clay" on Temu or Aliexpress. Make sure the packaging looks like the one from the video because there are often shops that offer entirely different products under the label of clear clay.

♥ 10 Nano Tape Hacks! ♥ youtu.be/vZ6kqmUkcLc
Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos
Here's a fun little DIY on how to make clear water balls without using nano tape! This is really easy, reusable and more environmentally friendly. It's basically the shrink wrap of a bath bomb that usually gets discarded but you can carefully remove the inside and refill it again. You can even take it further and create your own bath bombs for custom shapes.

♥ FULL Sock Plushie Playlist - Over 20 Designs! ♥ youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5e0wCeBn32tJnmIQayTSX_CEWqkQqmhD&si=nQuYI5E5KMZlTZsn
The night scene from the Boy and The Heron with Wara Wara is probably one of my favourite moments from all Ghibli films. I've loved them ever since the trailer came out and seeing the film made it even more incredible. These are really easy to make as plushies and barely require any sewing. If you can't find any baby socks and you want to have a smaller plushie, then you can create a "fake" smaller body shape on a large sock by backstitching. This is usually the first step on all of my other sock plushies so check out any other tutorial for that.

♥ How to Use Hitohada Gel for Squishies ♥ youtube.com/watch?v=hmiaiTfweo8
Enthält Werbung durch Markennennung / Contains advertisement due to visible brand logos
Here is everything you need to know about the new taba squishy trend! Taba means "bundle" or "bunch" in japanese and is now used to describe these super soft squishies that come in in a "bundle" of fake packaging. You squish it through the plastic which is surprisingly satisfying. Tabas originated in China, where silicone factories have started producing a new polymer that is softer than Shore 00. This is sometimes confusingly referred to as "glue" on social media clips however it's due to a mistranslation. In Chinese, "jiao" (glue) can also be used to describe any thick, sticky liquid. It's essentially the Chinese term for "squishy gel". Tabas are always made from silicone and have nothing to do with glue.
Some tabas are so sticky that they have to be flocked. When buying flocking powder, try to avoid ones that are marketed as fake snow. These are usually quite coarse and won't give you the best velvety, fuzzy texture. Make sure you're wearing an N95/FF2 mask (or higher) when using flocking powder because the particles get everywhere and should not be inhaled. Some people work inside a closed box with two holes cut out for your hands.
