Candy Pouch Paper Squishy

Assembly overview

1. Print two sheets; cut A and B. Print BOTH color OR coloring sheets at 100% / Actual Size. Do not Fit to Page. Check both 50 mm squares. Cut A and B with all tabs. Color first. Use paper, scissors, glue, clear tape and soft tissue; adult help for cutting.
2. Fold walls; reverse-fold four fins. Fold walls, sloping panels and small tabs toward the white inside. Orange marks the FOUR fin folds. Reverse-fold each 8 mm fin outward. The edge view shows each pair meeting white sides together; repeat at top and bottom. Do not fold triangle bases.
3. Join the two halves into a tube. Glue all 8 mm of J1 behind B's straight left edge; glue J2 behind A's left edge. Align top and bottom. Four walls are 100, 20, 100 and 20 mm. Keep both ends open. The front has six candy motifs and two open eyes.
4. Close and fully seal the BOTTOM. Close the back bottom panel onto its two gable tabs, then the front onto the other two. Glue and press outside. Bring the two bottom fins outward, white sides together. Tape all FOUR 14.14 mm sloping seams end to end, then the full 100 mm fin. Let dry.
5. Fill through the open TOP. Hold the closed bottom and add small loose pieces of soft tissue through the open top. Keep the exposed paper interiors white and the artwork outside. Stop below the upper body fold. Do not pack tightly or cut a new hole.
6. Close the back TOP panel. Fold the four upper gable tabs inward. Test the fit without glue. Glue the back top panel to the rear tab on each side. Press from outside while supporting the triangular ends. Keep the other two tabs for the front panel.
7. Close the front TOP panel. Glue the front top panel onto the two remaining tabs. Bring the two upper fins outward, white sides together. Keep both triangular ends flat with the narrow sidewalls. Do not push the triangles inward or reach inside the closed pouch.
8. Seal every TOP seam and the fin. Required: tape all FOUR upper 14.14 mm sloping seams continuously, including both ends, using overlapping short clear-tape pieces. The two triangles mark both pairs. Tape the full 100 mm top fin. Let dry; check both end closures before gently squeezing.
