Squishy Makeovers: Fixing Your Squishies #27

Hello, it's me, today I'm going to do another episode of my beloved series Squishy Makeovers, the classic we're waiting for. I just posted an unboxing video recently, which means we have a new batch of makeover candidates, which is a good thing because I was running low, I was running out, so you guys made

your

requests known for the

squishies

I opened in that video, which ones they really wanted me to give them a makeover today. Let's start with this wow, which was a surprisingly short intro. Hello, here is my flashback of my previous introductions. Oh, after reading the comments on my last unboxing video, it was very clear that the most popular request was this Stacked Cats with Soccer Balls Squishy.

I had never seen this Squishy in my life, which says a lot. but immediately after opening this one I ended up opening the exact same

squishy

in literally the next package, what are the chances of that happening? It seems like it's fate, so of course people want me to fix and paint both

squishies

and make them into some kind of set, a set of sets, twin sets, so I have to find a way to make them talk to each other. yeah, not verbally, but visually or something, I don't know, I'm confusing you, uh, I don't know what it was. trying to point out that they all have butts now we have established that we do some soft roasting so these have the same design but they also have their differences this one is very soft

squishy

and squishy while this one is hard as a rock , okay, not like a rock. hard rocks don't do that, but it is quite rigid, they also have their different ailments.

This one has a tear in the neck. He is missing a foot and a slit in his belly. I'm a little worried about the organ leak. This is not what an innie is. It's supposed to be like that, it's just missing an ear as far as the design of these goes, it's just an all pink background with random spots of purple and yellow. What's wrong with the banana on

your

cheek? The arms have this weird double-layered fur, that's what it looks like. like they have two pairs of legs and also this little tuft of hair on their chest I don't think that helps anyone the faces are a little soulless maybe they have half their souls I decided I wanted to do something daring that I'm going to combine Turn them into a giant squishy, ​​huge tower of cats before that can happen, although I really need to work on getting them in better shape.

Step one, sand them a little so that the surface of the foam can properly retain the paint they made. I don't like it very much, oh stop complaining, don't tell me, this is the most traumatic thing you've ever been through. You're missing a foot and exposed organs. Okay, all cats are sanded, but look, they love each other endlessly. Let's focus on you two first, this could hurt, so as for the strange clumps of hair, I'll just cut them all off and try to smooth these little arms, of course I'll never get it completely straight, but I really prefer to have a slightly rough surface than having to look at those strange strands of hair.

I can't stop looking at the double-layered paws, okay, ooh, they're back to being a four-legged cat, get rid of all that debris and now. ear reconstruction operation. I'm taking some plain old memory foam that has a squishy-like texture and I'm going to use it to build a new ear by cutting off little pieces, how's that? and then just shaping it with scissors, making millions, well, no. millions, probably thousands, more realistically, it's probably just hundreds, okay, I need to get to the point, hundreds of little cuts and every once in a while, hold it up, try it on hello, so we go back and work on it again until we finally have a decent looking Ear, can you hear me now?

I think she's just stupid. I can't fix that. My fabric melt glue came out and I'm going to apply a little bit of that and stick the new ear on there, secure it with a rubber band while the glue dries. and changing the soft ones once again, I'm going to cut out that furry mess that's all over your arms, looking like a woolly mammoth, and I'm also going to trim out some of these messy looking seams while I'm at it and over that foot or lack of foot here. I'm trying to rebuild it, I swear these soft ones were just an endless battle of tearing things off and gluing other things.

I was getting a little fatigued and shaping foam isn't my favorite thing to do, so I'll be honest, I did it. Don't do a big job on that foot, maybe no one will notice and look, let's cover his open wound with a rubber band to let it dry and now you're all back together after your various operations, let's see how. We have all recovered you have a little fluff in your belly button here we go everyone is groomed and shaved they have all their body parts let's make a cat tower I'm just going to tear off the top layer of foam on this cat's butt and this cat's head Just enough to expose the roughness of the foam underneath.

This is just because fabric glue works a little better when it has more to absorb and grip. I'm squeezing them all into a rubber band to allow that to dry, I was trying to position them so they could stand on their own, clearly that's not happening, well a few hours later and they're glued together, you know what it takes , this is a small and awkward looking ice cream. cone and it's one of those that has a face on both sides oh why do they do that it's also quite dirty and stained. I'm going to give it a very honorable position at the top, so I'm going to get rid of the cone and this cherry. here's something so strangely small that it looks like a little kernel, you know I like big, fat cherries, so I'm going to cut it up and look at that beautiful little surprise.

Doesn't it look beautiful? It's lovely. I'll take a screenshot. and save it forever I'm going crazy so now this blue area will be the new cherry the ice cream scoop itself will be the whipped cream because the cat will actually be the new ice cream this is an ice cream cat cone tower but we still get There's some work left to do and let's take a quick break because today's video is sponsored by Honey so I've been doing most of my shopping online for a long time, it's a lot easier. it just makes sense, convenience, yes we love it, but before we started using honey, in the dark days before honey, I used to do that thing where you look for coupon codes and half the time they're expired and it's super Frustrating, that's where the honey comes in, honey. is a free browser extension that searches the Internet for promotional codes and automatically tests them at checkout.

Now, so I'm taking some slick paint and I'm going to smother this squishy, ​​filling in all the seams, ripping out the holes, and covering those little areas of memory foam so it blends better with the squishy. This is where things really get. ugly, but it's necessary to really seal all those parts together and create a cleaner look in the end, once that dries it's time to start cleaning things up, so I'm applying some flat white fabric paint so that function as a base layer for my creation. I don't know if the scale really shows but this is a great squishy much bigger than the typical squishy project of mine, usually the base layer is just whip, whip, whip but this took forever just to paint this thing in a solid color too.

I use like two containers of white paint on this, which reminds me that I need to get more white paint so we finally have the white base coat finished and now we're getting to the good stuff. Yes, I'm excited, I will do it. so my idea here is that this cat tower is a giant ice cream cone, which means each of the cats is a different scoop of ice cream. Wow, you didn't notice that change in the background color. No? No, no, they are all balls. of ice cream except for this cat at the bottom because he is, of course, the ice cream cone.

I thought I was done with that, but I realized he had lost his entire ear from the front. It looks like his ear is the cat's paw. on top, but no, it can't be because the foot is back here, well, whatever we go through with the next cat, this one will be a mint chocolate chip ball, let's see, is there a cat pun? Peppermint, chocolate, cat, peppermint, peppermint chalk. mint chip cat, okay, not really, it's a mint chocolate chip cat. I'm just focusing on the background color for now to square it up and then we'll come back to look at the details, moving along this, there will be three flavors in one. aka Neapolitan oh that pie still looks a little iffy, don't look at it originally, I was actually going to make a strawberry jack scoop, a vanilla jack, a chocolate jack, but I decided it would look too simple, so I changed it to put all those flavors in one of the cats and then choose other flavors for the other two.

I am extra always and forever. Another one looks good and for the top scoop I'm going to paint this one in pure white because I'm going to make this cookies and cream cat that reminds me of my old squishies. I used to make cookies and cream. This and that. Oh, the microphone just attacked me. Hi are you there? I used to make cookies and cream all the time, but. so I don't know, I just stopped for some reason, it's been too long talking about soft old men, this isn't the first time I've made frozen cats, remember it was simpler times, okay, let's travel back to the bottom, so He I've sketched out some criss-cross lines of waffle cones and I'm just following them, this gets very complicated and wonky.

At the time I chose this idea, I was afraid of this part of the painting because it forms strange intersecting lines like this in such an irregular place. shape, so I did my best on this, even no, it's good, uh, no, but it looks like an ice cream cone. Learn to love imperfection. Next I'll start working on the face, drawing it first and then just placing all the little pink details everywhere for expression. I opted for a very concerned look. It seems like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders because he has the weight of three cats on his head.

Then I decided to give him this one. She has a silly looking face, I don't know, her head was tilted a little bit, she's not carrying as much weight as the cat below, but she's still carrying a lot of weight here and she's crushed, okay, maybe some brain cells are dying, I don't know. . I know it's never been too bright, although remember to finally add those chocolate chips too to finish this off because it's not mint chocolate chips without chocolate chips, oh it looks so pretty. Well, now it's the Neapolitan cat's turn and this one is a bit silly, you know?

He really should be fine, he should be thriving here, but he's just lacking a little in the personality department. What the heck did I just throw a big chunk of paint right there and somehow didn't realize it until then? Yes, clean that well. now I have to fix that, let's go back to finishing the face, this cat might be my favorite of the bunch, he really doesn't have much to say, he is so adorable and the best cat I haven't added any blush to. to the other cats, but I added some rosy cheeks to this one because the bright white on the face can be a little jarring, so I want to give him some rosy cheeks, you know, put a little warmth on that face so he doesn't stare. like a murderer and of course she is nothing but happy, she is fine, she sits on top of everyone, no one puts their ass on her head, no one is killing her brain cells, she has no worries and in the end she adds the cookies to the cream, it seems. like a little Dalmatian cat, I like it and we have reached the top very tippy.

Let me not say tippy, we've reached the top because I've already spent so much time on this. Maybe I had less patience left than normal, so I just painted this all at once, if I had been more careful I would have waited for each color to dry before adding another, but blah blah blah I can't, like this I only added the cherry, hot chocolate and whipped cream. all at the same time and then of course this definitely needs some sparks, scream, I hate when there are interruptions, I was improvising with it, okay, and it's over, here's a very awkward way to show the before and after, it was difficult to show Everything in one frame, but I feel that they are much more interesting and full of personality than the originals.

I think it turned out great. Don't be fooled, no, it doesn't stand on its own, it's just leaning against it. The bottom is still very wobbly and I can't find my balance.I'm still in love with this squishy. It was worth all the work I put into it. Each of the cats is unique, but I find them all very cute in their own way. happy darling dalmatian kitty cookies and cream um derpy little doll slightly brain dead but in a lovely way and you know who would love you eustis this is totally your match uh oh how will shelley feel and then of course deep down this poor little sore soul her misery is so cute I just want to give her a hug it's a whole roller coaster of emotions I love it so much I hope you like this too and are satisfied with what Thank you very much for watching and I'll see you next week, bye.
