DIY Hamster Squishy: Create Your Own Taba Mold Set

Quick Answer

To make your own hamster squishy, use the Hamster Taba Squishy DIY Mold Set. It includes everything you need to mix, pour, and create a soft, squeezable toy at home.

Step-by-Step: Create Your Hamster Squishy

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your table with newspaper or a silicone mat. Gather the mold, mixing cup, stirring stick, and the included squishy compound from the Hamster Taba Squishy DIY Mold Set. Work in a well-ventilated area and keep pets away from uncured compound.
2. Mix the Compound: Pour the recommended amount of base liquid into the mixing cup. Add the activator drop by drop while stirring gently. Stop as soon as the mixture thickens slightly. Over-mixing or adding too much activator can make the squishy hard and brittle. Stir just until combined.
3. Pour Into the Hamster Mold: Slowly pour the mixed compound into the hamster-shaped mold cavity. Tap the mold gently on the table to release air bubbles. Fill to the brim but do not overflow. Air bubbles cause holes in the finished squishy. Tap firmly but don't shake the mold.
4. Let It Cure: Leave the mold undisturbed for the time specified in the kit instructions (usually 10-15 minutes). Do not touch or move it during curing. Curing time varies with room temperature. If it's cool, allow a few extra minutes.
5. Remove and Enjoy: Once fully set, gently peel the mold away from the squishy. Start at the edges and work inward. Your hamster squishy is ready to squeeze! If the squishy sticks, let it cure a bit longer. Never pull hard or you may tear the mold.
