Assembly steps ready

Butter Stick

3D templates need pre-folding before stuffing. If the shape twists, remove stuffing and re-crease the folds.

Print settings that prevent bad cuts

  • Use 100% scale, actual size, or no scaling. Do not use fit-to-page if it changes the dieline.
  • Print one test page first and check that tabs, fold lines, and margins are not clipped.
  • Print the available PDF that matches your paper size. PNG files are screen previews. Follow the template’s own calibration and orientation instructions.
  • Plain printer paper is usually easier to squish than thick cardstock.

5-step assembly order

  1. Preview

    Look at the finished cover and template preview so you know which panels become the visible front.

  2. Color

    If using the coloring version, color before cutting. Keep heavy marker ink away from fold lines.

  3. Protect

    Cover the front and back with overlapping clear tape. Rub the tape flat before cutting.

  4. Cut and fold

    Cut outside the solid lines and pre-fold dashed lines gently with a ruler edge.

  5. Stuff and close

    Add a small amount of soft stuffing, test the squeeze, then close the last seam with short tape strips.

Quick fixes

Edges keep opening

Use shorter tape pieces around curves, then press each seam from the center outward.

Template feels too hard

Open the last seam and remove stuffing. Paper squishies need air space to bounce back.

Art looks wrinkled

Tape the flat sheet before cutting and avoid stretching tape over curved corners.

Panels do not align

Reprint at 100% scale and cut just outside the black outline instead of inside it.

Make this template work in real life

Use the printable as a craft object: preview the asset, print at actual size, color before cutting, tape both sides, then add only enough stuffing for a soft squeeze.

1

Print the template at 100% scale and cut the FRONT, BACK, and one continuous SIDE BAND.

Start with a simple outline, print at 100% scale, and keep the design inside the safe page margins.

2

Fold every dashed line on the side band and fold its glue tabs inward.

Color while the paper is still flat. Large marker areas are easier to smooth before tape is added.

3

Glue the seam tab to the LEFT END to make one four-side rectangular loop.

Cover both sides with overlapping strips of clear tape so the paper resists tearing and smudging.

4

Attach the FRONT fully, leave a 30 mm opening while attaching the BACK, then stuff and seal it.

Use small pieces of tissue, clean grocery bag, or soft scrap paper. Too much stuffing makes seams pop.

Print and Assembly Checks

  • Keep print scale at 100% so front, back, tabs, and fold lines stay aligned.
  • Color while the sheet is still flat, then tape both sides before cutting.
  • Use short tape strips around tight curves instead of forcing one long strip to bend.
  • If the squishy feels hard, remove a little stuffing before sealing the final edge.

FAQ

Why is butter a good squishy template?

Butter squishy, mantequilla squishy, and manteiga squishy searches all show trend signals, and the simple bar shape is beginner-friendly.

Can I make it crunchy?

Yes. Add a small layer of clean crinkle paper inside before stuffing, but keep the bar lightly filled so the seams do not pop.
