Steps ready
Gummy Bear
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.
- Use the PNG template at 100% scale, then check that the full outline and tabs fit inside your printer margins.
- Plain printer paper is usually easier to squish than thick cardstock.
5-step assembly order
- Preview
Look at the finished cover and template preview so you know which panels become the visible front.
- Color
If using the coloring version, color before cutting. Keep heavy marker ink away from fold lines.
- Protect
Cover the front and back with overlapping clear tape. Rub the tape flat before cutting.
- Cut and fold
Cut outside the solid lines and pre-fold dashed lines gently with a ruler edge.
- 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 gummy bear template at 100% scale so the rounded body panels and side strips stay aligned.
Start with a simple outline, print at 100% scale, and keep the design inside the safe page margins.
2 
Color the bear face, paws, and belly while the sheet is flat, then cover both sides with clear tape.
Color while the paper is still flat. Large marker areas are easier to smooth before tape is added.
3 
Cut the ears, arms, and legs slowly, using short tape strips around the curved edges.
Cover both sides with overlapping strips of clear tape so the paper resists tearing and smudging.
4 
Stuff lightly from the side opening so the bear stays soft without splitting the seam.
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
Is this based on a candy brand?
No. It is a generic gummy bear craft with original colors, face details, and template structure.
Why is this good for beginners?
The rounded bear shape is forgiving, and the coloring version gives large areas for kids to decorate before assembly.
