Pastel Unicorn Body Paper Squishy

Animal faces are most forgiving when the face panel stays flat and the stuffing sits behind the cheeks.

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 A4 or US Letter PDF at Actual Size and check that the calibration square measures 20 mm.

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

2

Cover both printed panels with clear tape, then cut them on the solid outlines.

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

3

Place the back directly behind the front and tape around the edge, leaving a 30–40 mm opening along the lower edge.

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

4

Add a small amount of tissue or polyfill, tape the lower opening closed, and shape the finished flat pouch gently.

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 the two full-body panels align exactly.
  • 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

Does it include the mane on both sides?

Yes. The front has a pastel forelock and the back has a long three-colour mane, so the finished pouch has a complete all-around design.

Is this a true 3D sidewall build?

No. It is a standard lightly stuffed flat pouch, accurately described in the printable and assembly guide.
