Butter squishy guide

How to make your butter template

The butter template is a boxy build. Crisp scoring and a light fill give it neat corners while keeping the finished block soft-looking.

Beginner - about 30 minutes

Use loosely crumpled tissue, concentrating a little more in the centre than the corners.

Use double-sided tape or a glue stick on the marked tabs, then reinforce the outside corner seams with clear tape.

1
Print and score
Print the wrapper and end-cap pieces at 100%, then gently score every dashed fold line.
2
Cut the outer outline
Cut around the solid lines and keep all glue tabs intact.
3
Pre-fold every panel
Fold each panel inward along the scored lines before adding any tape or glue.
4
Join the long seam
Make the rectangular body first by joining the long wrapper seam with double-sided tape or a glue stick.
5
Add filling and end caps
Add a small amount of tissue through one open end, then attach the end tabs one at a time.
6
Reinforce the corners
Use short clear-tape strips over the outside corner joins for a tidy butter-block shape.

Print note: Print at 100% scale. Score fold lines with a blunt tool before cutting the end tabs.

Finish it: Do not overfill the ends. A little empty space lets the block keep its clean rectangular silhouette.

Use scissors with adult help when needed. Keep filling light and dry: do not use food, liquid, rice, beads, or anything heavy inside a paper squishy.
