Welcome to another episode of squishy makeovers, where I transform ugly, used, old, dirty, cheap or unwanted squishies (donated by my subscribers) into my own creations. I repair, paint and cut away for hours on end to complete these. Hopefully you like them. Get used to lots of rainbow and sprinkles, because I am addicted to both!
________FAQs_________
1. CAN I SEND YOU SQUISHIES? So many generous people have sent me their unwanted squishies so I actually have a lot to work on already, BUT if you desperately want to, you can request my mailing address in the email ALLLL the way at down in the description (sorry for the traveling), make sure to read the disclaimer down there as well.
2. ARE SQUISHIES RETURNED TO THE SENDERS AFTER THE MAKEOVER? No. These squishies are sent as donations to the series because they are damaged and/or no longer wanted. Everyone has been informed in advance that squishies would not be returned.
3. WHAT PAINT DO YOU USE? I use fabric paint. Fabric paint is meant to stretch, so it is perfect for squishing! Any brand will work fine, but I mainly use Tulip. You can find it at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, A.C. Moore, Walmart, Joann Fabrics, and Online.
5. WILL FABRIC PAINT CRACK? The matte fabric paint is more likely to crack after lots of squishing. Slick fabric paints never crack. But there are benefits to both. I usually mix the two paints together to get the best of both worlds.
6. CAN I USE ACRYLIC PAINT ON SQUISHIES? I would not recommend that. Acrylic paint will either make the squishy hard, or it will crack and flake off very easily.
__________WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL_________
Hey! my name is Moriah (pronounced muh-rye-yuh 😂 ) and this is my channel....obviously. I'm 28 and like doing anything creative...and being snarky.....just a lil. I make a lot of decorating, painting and general art videos here. I'm obsessed with editing and adding lil bits to my videos, so if that's not your thing....oof you may hate this haha. I paint on squishies, thrift store finds, and other random things I pick up. I also love to draw, but don't expect anything too skilled, I'm not the best at that haha. You will also find occasional crafting/testing crafting kits on my channel which are always a hot mess. And even some baking (REALLY bad at that, but it's fun to try).

Hey, it's
Merry
Christmas
I tried it. I don't know if it really worked. We're going with it. Hi, it is christmas time. I have santa hat
Do you like I never know whether the pom-pom goes in the front or the back
Now it looks weird. Maybe like to the side. I'm doing a christmas slash winter
Just general winter because that's fun too themed squishy makeover. Yay
I have not done a christmas themed squishy makeover, but once I believe in 2018
The santa bag with the little bear and the little chocolate and then the busted rudolph. Oh boy. It's kind of cute in like a
Ugly way I created alfred in that video as well
Alfred was like the winter character not specifically christmas and he ended up having a whole family
I don't know what my point is just
Come on, buddy, I guess I just wanted to have a nice little christmas show in town. It has been four years
Sorry, i'm just dealing with that so i'm ready to refresh
I don't think I would have let this one live with my current set of standards
So I hope that I can make something a little bit better
You guys can go to prepare for this squishy makeover
I have gone through my extensive collection of squishies and found every single christmas or winter
Related squishy that I could possibly find and that's where we're going to be starting
Okay, so let's look at what I found in my hunt and go from there
Here is the full family of christmas slash winter themed squishies. Can you hear that?
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting a ding a ling. Those are not the lyrics
There's quite a bit of variety here multiple different santas
This santa is a head not a head a head plus cat santa ball gotta have that we have an elf
Rudolph himself much cuter than that interpretation. Oh another reindeer not rudolph could be comet cupid blitzen
Whatever their names are. I don't know. It's one of them christmas tree another christmas tree
Snowman snowmen. Oh snow men's plus a bunch of animals and mugs hot drinks
I thought were like wintry penguins are also cold weather equals winter a bunch of polar bears. Oh, sorry
That's a panda these scarfed cats. Are you good, bro?
Something not right about that guy this bunny with a donut which honestly has nothing to do with christmas or winter and this bunny
Technically not christmas related but it has a christmas aura. Do you feel that I feel it
So I picked out a couple of my favorites
Well more than a couple because I love them all but I do have to narrow this down a little bit more or we'll be
Here all month. The bunny is non-negotiable. The christmas spirit is strong in this one
Bunny christmas. Yeah, that's happening with this one
My thought was that I could make the donut into a wreath
Then I noticed that it would be eating the wreath suddenly that doesn't seem like a great idea this little penguin
It's just so cute. Oh, look at the santa hat. It would be the perfect size for him
Yes, I have to have this one. This one's gonna be number two
Not that number two this polar bear I just can't help but love those accessories
But considering I did an accessorized polar bear in my last christmas squishy makeover
I think I should pass on this one. I was very tempted to put this adorable polar bear in this christmas tree
And I kind of wanted to give the penguin a coffee cup looks like you could use it
When is the last time you slept?
Eeny meeny miny not you. Let's not even pretend like I gave you a chance. So then who who?
Ah, just make a decision. I guess you great. Let's get on with this. Shall we?
Here's squishy roasting now before you crazy fanatics sprint to the comment section to inform me
Yes, I am aware of who this cat is. It's garfield. Somebody wrote this on the back. I love harry potter
Okay, anyway
I've actually had my eye on this cat for a long time kind of had to since people keep sending it to me
But honestly, i've been too scared to change it because harry potter fans can be a little intense. All right
Yeah, I know this is harry potter. I'm gonna go ahead and change the precious harry potter. I'm feeling brave
Don't kill me on to the makeover
First thing I want to do is ditch these glasses because it's my character now and this character happens to have 2020 vision
Lucky next i'm gonna do a quick sanding. Oh boy. We got a flaky one. Oh, I hate when they get like this
It's time to start cleaning up the mess that I made using some nice festive green puffy paint
I'm gonna spread a nice thick layer of that over the face to smooth out the surface
Basically, i'm just building a new skin here since i've just ruined its once perfect complexion. I'm, sorry
Okay, that's looking pretty good right now. It's time for the base coat
I'm gonna apply some white paint over the entire squishy for a nice fresh start and voila blank canvas for me
The face looked pretty smooth to me
But as soon as I started painting there's a little bit more lumpiness left over than I realized that's okay
I like that now that I got my cat all beautifully colored. It's time for
Beautiful color everyone say hi. The rainbow is here
Now this squishy is going to be my more winter themed design. It's not specifically for christmas
I saw this scarf and I just could not resist it was too perfect of a rainbow opportunity
Although of course there weren't enough stripes to complete the rainbow cycle perfectly
This cat is really reminding me of catty cake similar colors similar rainbow band
Similar rainbow cycle not being repeated perfectly. It's all very deja vu
Minus the cake part. So this is not catty cake
It cannot be catty cake because you can never uncake the catty cake. This is just catty
No, cathy with a c
Cat cathy now i'm just gonna clean up the edges of the scarf. Oh so satisfying
One thing I just loved about this squishy is the way that it's standing with its face pointing up
It's like it's it's like up it's hard to describe. I'm just gonna act it out
It's a very expressive pose, but the face was just kind of like this blank stare
So I wanted to redesign the facial expression to match the pose. So I went with this big cheesy smile
Yes like that. Thank you
It was a little bit nerve-wracking because this is quite a different facial expression than I normally do. I just hope it's not too
Vampire-y doesn't look too vampire-y
I spent some time tweaking it and trying to get it to look right and here is the before and after
For the safety of myself and my family. I must say I mean no disrespect to harry potter
But I kind of prefer the new design the color scheme is just more my style and the face
Oh, I love that face cathy. You're too much girl. She is just smiling to the ceiling
Oh, what was that sound? Oh, it's just mini me getting into stuff. Hey, what you got there?
Anyway, cathy. I love you super happy with this one. So next i'm gonna go to oh, okay
I'll be back in a minute. I want to pop in here to tell you guys about a little fun holiday activity
I'm holding a little contest for my sparklers out there
If you missed it, I did recently launch an app called spark
I did an entire segment on it in one of my recent videos
So i'll link to that if you haven't seen it
So today i'm opening a holiday card contest within spark
You can enter the contest using the special star shape go ahead and design your holiday card using whatever you want
I went ahead and did my own design just for fun. I did this design of cathy inside of a wreath
I thought it was a cute idea. I kind of like it
Obviously i'm not really eligible to be in the contest because i'm gonna be picking the winner
I can't pick myself at least that's what i've been told
It's not fair when you're done with your design submit it through events in the adventure section
The winner of the contest will receive a set of in-app stickers, which are adorable
Plus I will be printing out the design and physically attaching it to my art wall
I have this little space
So this is just going to be perfect for that
If you haven't already downloaded spark the link is in the description to download
I also do want to acknowledge my international and android users. I love you guys
I promise I do spark is not available everywhere yet to my international friends
The english version of spark will be available internationally soon for my android friends
We are working on it. It is very very complicated
It is a huge goal of mine to make spark available for every single person on the planet and on naufalopkus
So I really appreciate patience and I will keep you guys updated
Thank you to everyone who has downloaded spark so far. There have been thousands hundreds of thousands of new artworks created in spark
I'm mind blown
We are releasing a special pickled pink icon that only I can place as a reaction to creations from you guys
So from now on i'll be leaving a little pickled pink on a handful of different creations each week that I just love
Can't wait to see what you guys design for the contest and let's get back to the squishies
Hi, i'm back next. I'm gonna go ahead with a bunny christmas. Once again, this is a pre-existing character. It's called
cinnamon
Cinnamon roll now. I can't remember. Oh cinnamon roll
I guess because the tail looks like a cinnamon roll once I brought in the mini christmas tree. I'm simply smitten
Okay, honestly, I love it just like this
But I am gonna you know, keep going and change things up more because this is squishy makeover not squishy keep things the same
So let's do that makeover thing now
Shall we i'm gonna start by trimming up some of the uneven edges and giving both the squishies a nice sand twinkle twinkle
Next I need to do a quick and easy tail removal surgery. You are no longer cinnamon
Why can't I get that right cinema? Whatever the butt you're my bunny christmas
I do want to bring in some pom poms to replace the tail. We got big. Oh, no and small
Yes, then to prepare for the christmas tree
I'm, just going to de-trunk that boy and pluck some little dimple pimples out of the head
What now coming in my fabric hot glue gun? Yeah, that's right. I got it labeled
I'm gluing that christmas tree in place as well as a new little tail
Now here we go sealing up that seam and going over the rough area with puffy paint multiple times and there we're ready
Getting out my base coat. I'm, just gonna throw that over the face and the green areas
I get to be lazy with this one and not paint the entire thing because white doesn't need to be white
Now i'm feeling a little special. I want to add some glitz and glamour. So I picked out some iridescent paint
That's what they call it. Iridescent. Really? It's just metallic. It's been a while since i've done this metallic type squishy
I ran out of my white metallic
So I just used my regular white puffy paint as the base
Hoping that the metallic color would still show through. Mistake number one. So here I go starting on the painting journey
Let's just watch as my hopes and dreams turn into regret. You can see here that uh, you can barely see here
I'm painting with the paint and where is the color? I don't know. It's not here. This paint is super transparent
Okay, it's barely showing up at all. I should have run. Okay, I should have gone the other direction
I should have said no, no i'm not doing this, but I didn't okay
I decided to keep going after layer number two
Not much change after layer number three
I think i'm starting to see more color. Layer number four may or may not have made some difference
Finally by about the 10th layer now's when I noticed that um, where's metallic? Where's where's metallic?
She's not here. I guess since I contaminated my metallics with the regular white puffy paint
It doesn't quite look metallic. What i've got here is a slightly sweaty looking green
Oh, and we haven't even done the back. Ten coats later and here's the back. Whoopie
Yes, that was annoying but it would all be worth it if I liked it. Problem is I don't like it
Bunny christmas is supposed to be magical not sweaty. So despite all the time and energy I spent on the metallic paint
I'm just gonna mix up a similar color with my regular paint and i'm going over all of it
So let's just move on from that i'm sketching out my design for this while I loved the clean
Simplicity of the original bunny. I want to go all out with the decorations. I did bring back the metallic paint
I never learned this time i'm gonna use it just straight from the bottle real thick
i'm gonna create these garlands going across the bunny and it's like the tree is
Like kind of unraveling and wrapping around the bunny in a way
I did keep the tree with a metallic and I also used metallic yellow for the star on the top
And I actually feel like it's kind of nice to have the mixture of the metallic and the not metallic
I added some ornaments and little bows drew in the face and added some little toe pads
Which pretty sure bunnies don't actually have toe pads like this. But oh, well, I really love how this one came out
This is definitely my favorite of all the christmas themed squishies that i've made not saying there's that much competition
I love the colors of it because it does seem christmasy and festive, but they're also very
Me. Oh boy. You caught me in between nail polish. Merry christmas to you. Oh
Despite the challenges of this one. I really like how it came out in the end
Okay, the last one is my little penguin. I picked this one frankly because it's adorable
Also, I kind of felt like I needed to use at least one of the santa's
What better way than to just cut off the face and use the hat put it on something much cuter switching to paint mode
I'm, just gonna rip the little eye pin out of the top of the penguin's head slap that santa hat right on there
Oh also I cut his beak off as cute as that little penguin was I noticed that it had remarkable similarities
To an even more elevated creature a blob the penguin looks like a blob
So i'm gonna change it into a blob quickly doing these little itty bitty repairs
Then onto the base coat and this is where I discovered I did a sketchy job on the beak removal
Botch that one. It almost looks like an angry face though
I started with green paint and went for like a two-toned ombre
Then I realized this looks way too similar to froggy blob and I love froggy, but nope. I don't want you
So i'm switching to the other signature christmas color
Which is actually kind of good because I already did a green character with bunny christmas
So I don't know what I was thinking
Anyway, I did the same ombre thing with the pink to red painting on the traditional santa claus hat then you know
What since this blob already has that big old frown i'm just gonna go with it. Okay, it's fate
I was just gonna make a nice little cheerful christmas blob
But mistakes were made and now that I see this it all makes perfect sense
Okay, I know exactly who this is. His name is santa blob. Santa blob is a general manager for santa's workshop
He is the one who actually keeps all the elves on track while santa claus is out drinking milk and eating cookies
Santa blob is out here struggling. This was definitely the simplest of the makeovers, but I really like it
I've designed a lot of blobs, but this is the first blob squishy that i've made and i'm glad that it's here
You know, I just think that santa blob deserves to get more recognition for what he does hashtag credit for santa blob and that's it
Those are my two christmas squishies plus my winter squishy aka kathy. I really love how all of these came out
I'm, super happy to have some fresh new christmas designs in my collection. I hope you guys enjoyed this video
Thank you so much for watching and i'll see you next week. Bye
