How do you make a phone paper squishy?

Use a rounded rectangle front and back, draw a generic screen, tape both sides, cut the shape, add light stuffing to the center, and seal the edge with short overlapping tape strips.

Should a phone paper squishy be flat or 3D?

Flat is better for beginners. A 3D version needs wider side tabs and more careful corner reinforcement.

Build Notes

Keep the phone generic

Draw a made-up home screen, camera dots, stickers, or a cute face. Avoid copying a real brand logo or exact phone UI.

Use a flat-first version

A flat phone squishy is easier than a thick 3D phone because the screen stays cleaner and the edges line up faster.

Round the corners

Sharp corners split more easily after stuffing. Rounded corners give tape more room to hold.

Stuff the center lightly

Put the soft filling in the center, not the corners, so the phone does not warp.

Simple Shape Recipe

Draw two rounded rectangles at the same size.
Add a made-up screen with large icons or a kawaii face.
Cover both sides with clear tape before cutting.
Seal three sides, add a small amount of stuffing, then close the last straight edge.
