Video Tutorial

Instructions 

  • Start by cutting the foam into a circle shape.
  • Take your time to make a round, smooth circle.
  • Now, cut a hole in the middle of your circle to make the foam piece look like a donut.
  • Again, take your time to make sure that your hole is smooth and round.
  • Paint your donut with light brown acrylic paint.
  • Keep painting until you have colored the whole donut.
  • Now, add a layer of acrylic paint to the top of your donut. I have mixed red and white acrylic paint together to make pink.
    Let it dry. This will take a few hours.
    You can speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer.
  • Make your frosting using pink puffy paint and add a thick layer to the top of your donut.
    Let your donut dry overnight or use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process.
  • Now, use a thin paintbrush to add colorful sprinkles to the top of your donut.
  • Let it dry completely. Your donut squishy is complete!

Notes

*You can also use density foam.
* Feel free to use acrylic paint instead of puffy paint but just keep in mind that there is a risk that the acrylic may start to peel off from the surface or crack over time.
