Here is the definitive guide on making taba squishies! I was in China recently visiting family but also took the opportunity to find out everything I could about taba squishies. I ordered a lot of supplies from Xiaohongshu which were sent to our address in Beijing. Taba squishy gel is new type of silicone that's softer than Shore 00 and cures after 3 hours. It's fairly easy to find taba supplies on Xiaohongshu but you need a chinese bank account and address. If you live outside China, keep your eyes on Aliexpress which seems to have the most stuff with international shipping. Use the search terms "diy pinch toy" because taba squishy isn't well-known amongst suppliers. In Chinese, "squishy" basically translates into "pinch pinch". The white fluff is often called "plush powder" as it's slightly coarser than typical flocking powder.

Hey joanna!
I started watching your videos when I was probably 13 and now i am 18. Something about your videos is so nostalgic and close to my heart. I am so happy to see your channel grow and what makes me happier is the fact that you have preserved that simplicity which you had from the beginning in your videos.
Thankyou for uploading such great content. I hope you are doing well♡
Thank you so much for that lovely feedback! I love hearing from long time viewers 🥰
Fr
So proud that you were able to make perfect taba squishes, I know the feeling of having a craft fascination and hunting for the right products, this must've taken ages! Thank you 💞
I can't tell you how excited and happy I get whenever you upload. Your videos are so therapeutic. I love how you explain everything with so much clarity and detail. The best part is you keep it natural showing us your trials and errors. As someone who loves art and craft, whenever I used to work on any of my paintings or craft and goof up somewhere,I used to feel terrible about it. You made me realise that it's okay to mess up sometimes and start all over again. Thankyou so much!! You are one of my favourites.
Also, I have noticed that you aren't uploading on your second channel and your German channel. I am so sorry I am not pressurising you I just wanted to know if those channels will still have uploads in the future. I know you have other responsibilities to look after,your child being the greatest one. I really appreciate that you have been creating content despite having so many other responsibilities.
Much love to you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear from long-term subscribers to know people have stuck around for so long. Yep, unfortunately the German channel is inactive now because Lisa is busy with new projects. She does workshops and talks around social media and content production for other clients. It was a mutual decision to stop and I'm really happy for her new success. The english Cute Life Hacks is also dormant as I don't have time atm to create more videos but I haven't ruled out restarted that channel in future 😄
@@maqaroon omg I can't belive you replied 😭
I love how dedicated you are for your work and towards your fans that you took the time out to reply to every comment. Love you loads!!
I am not promoting the use of websites like Temu or Alibaba but I do find it very funny that no one has taken issue with Amazon being used to order stuff from. The company that hasnt paid taxes since 2012, treats its workers like rubbish and has tonnes of low price items on its website. Maybe because its American and not a Chinese website ? Just a thought ......
I'm not sure where you've been on the internet/irl, but I see/hear criticisms of Amazon every day. So it's certainly not "no one", and it has nothing to do with who owns it.
Yep, I see identical products listed on Amazon and Temu all the time. It's the exact same suppliers or drop shippers behind it, though they often charge more on Amazon because people mistakenly believe it's coming locally. I also find it paradoxical why people who are deeply critical of Temu or Amazon are on my channel because all of my videos focus on reviews and tutorials for unusual craft supplies. Anyone wanting to replicate the DIYs will inevitable end up having to use the global supply chain at some point. The sinophobia is definitely also real because many people believe things about Chinese platforms they cannot prove but solely because they "heard it" from somewhere. I've really tried to research this but as mentioned before, I couldn't find any concrete evidence. It also makes no sense why a shopping website will want to steal money from customers because they make far more money with repeat orders. So it's in their best interest to offer a good service so people keep coming back!
@Izzy-cp8yt maybe we could use some critical thinking and realise I wasn't talking about the entire Internet and only the video I commented on ? No one has said anything on the comments about amazon only temu and alibaba
@maqaroon people want to be angry, but this rhetoric of temu and alibaba being the worst websites to use. When in reality all these corporations are the same. It's like how tiktok and Facebook are both being scrutinised for releasing data but only tiktok has actually been banned ? All because its an Asian country not American.
@@laurenashwell3878 maybe we could be less patronizing and read what you actually worte: "no one", not "no one here" or "none of the comments". I can't read your mind, and expecting me to do so is toxic behavior. Communicate your point clearly and say what you mean. It's not my responsibility to guess what you really meant.
I think it's awesome that you're still making videos!! Been watching you since your needle felted animals 🫶 10 years? Or so. Much love 💚
Hi, I miss your sock plushie tutorials! I'd love it if you could make more of them or just upload patterns every now and then.
I needed this video!They've been over my fyp!
Thank you for the upload. This was so helpful and informative for Taba squishy making.😇😊
love love love your longer videos!!
Yay,new upload!
Thank you for such a detailed, relaxing video with all my favourite colours
LOVE THIS CHANNEL, LOVE THE CONTENT, I LUV U
Thank you so much I’ve always wanted to make these! I ❤ you
Hi Joanna 💕 I've been watching your videos since i was little, and you got me into needle felting. Please make another needle felting video, i think lots of people enjoyed them~ thank you for your uploads for all this time 🫶
Thank you for the video, Joanna!
I'm so obsessed with these squishes 🥰
Ahh now it feels old maqaroon came back !!! I remember I discovered this channel due to squishy only, now it's been more than 5 years since I have been watching ur video❤
Thank you soo soo much! I found these online and fell in love with them! I’ve been trying to see how to make them and where to find them but I never did so this is literally soooooooo helpful!
Yes I keep seeing videos from one account called Vero Squishy and was so curious how they make it! 🤣
@@maqaroonI love vero squishy! I’m too lazy to make my own lol !! 😅
the pudding squishy is soo adorable!! ^^
I love this so much thanks for the info!
I am so happy that you posted when I was having a terrible day at school. I love ur videos. Thank you for making my day
You do such amazing research for every video! because I remember like not even like a few videos ago you were questioning everything like 'how does this work?' and What not?, and then you get to go to China! eeeeee and learn there that must've been amazing. I know you've wanted to travel for so long and you finally got to.!!! I love the video its so well done it so well researched, and it's amazing!
For the molds if you want to try doing custom ones you could try a brush on silicone method of mold making- it’s much thinner and could probably be flipped inside out!
Love your videos! The hamster and rabbit are adorable
Watching this is making me want to open a squishy shop 🫣 great video as always 💕
oh, they look so good, I'm hoping those kits become available here soon because I would love to make this with my daughter
IM FINALLY EARLY!! been wanting to make these forawhile
This is a must do when I go back to China now. thx❤😊
I loved this video! It’s could be a great idea for students who would like to sell stuff at school. With the right knowledge, I think it could be pretty easy for kids to make with their parents
You are a such talented person.and very nice❤
found this channel while i was dying in bed with a cold lol, i love ur videos since theyre so calming and the stuff you make is so cute!!
me with a cold right now😂
@@theandy4667 nooo :(( hope you feel better soon!
Love this ❤
i have a smaller version of that gummy mold that i use to make resin cabochons and i had no idea there was a bigger one with carrots!! so cute
Sometimes white can be added in really small amounts to make a color more opaque (at least with a lot of things, don't know if it works for taba silicone).
ahhh im early! I used to watch your videos so much when I was younger! glad to see you’re still posting
what an encompassing video!~
They're so cute
Maybe liquid mold maker would work for making custom tabas?
I’ve noticed from other CZcamsrs that they look much more flexible than molding putty
I have been watching you for so long im 18 now😭. I am so glad im still interested in arts and crafts and you made me keep that part of me alive all these years thank you soo much🫶
So happy to hear that!!!
Omg sameee stg I’ve been watching since like 2016 and I’m 20 now😭
Hahaha same today’s literally my 19th birthday and I still religiously tune in, even though I don’t even do the crafts lol
A reason squishies/ soft malleable items feel softer when warm is because of the particles - the hotter they are means they get more thermal energy, which makes the fixed particles of the solid vibrate on the spot more erratically - this makes more 'space' between the atoms of the solid so it feels softer!
ALSSSSSSSO
If you would be interested in trying this, I had this idea for a video; you should make a Pt 3 of you taba series experimenting with flocking!
As in, for example, I had a few ideas but the coolest was what if you flocked tabas with fake snow? I was wondering if it would make it crunchy in the bag!
Another idea is if you put the fake snow next to a nomal taba in the bag, it might add a crunch to the soft sensations and give some good asmr! Something else with the bag idea could be putting in kinetic sand or slime and different slime textures!
But of course, its only an idea!! ^^ Amazing video as always!
Ooo fake snow would be a super interesting texture to experiment with, particularly to see if it’ll actually stick without dissolving like the flocking, and if it does dissolve how the squishy may react
@@bonniefazbear1987 Yeah thats what i mean!! Also, i wonder if it was the unactivated particles of fake snow, I wonder if theyd absorb some moisture!
Ahhhh! A maqaroon video!! I remember seeing a super cute fish tabba squishy 🐟in a Chinese market site JUST before tabba squishys went viral in western media!
Also I loved your pig sock plush video! I want to make it! Even though it’s not lockdown anymore, Pls make more of these DIY videos!❤❤
Aww thank you! I definitely plan to do more plushies whenever a character comes up that would work well for it! I also got a fish taba DIY kit which I can't wait to make 😁
these look so cool but i would probably not be able to resist eating them 😭 they look so yummy
14:10 in the USA we call it Blush. In China we call Blush Blusher
Yay I
Cg on 4m! :D
I'll never make this. But it's still super fun to watch.
I got a Taba squishy Hamster and omg ITS SO CUTE AND SQUISHY!!!😭😭
Instead of throwing the leftover silicone away, couldn’t you use it as filler for future silicone projects? Like hide it in liquid silicone so you can’t see the scrap silicone, but it helps take up volume so you use less liquid silicone.
HI thank you I gave some to my cousins and sisters they loved it were making more now thanks'
Meanwhile my brain is just like "Yes, yes... *how do I incorporate this into my model kits?"*
Can you do a video testing the AliExpress, temu, and amazon taba squishy glues?
oooo00OOO 😍😍its so cuteeee xxxx
1:58 thsi one is actuslly a taba squishy, it just doesn’t spread because it’s not sticky
Hi ! What gel do you recommend on AliExpress?
Okay question I thought it was bad for you to breath in the flocking powder and was recommended to leave in the bag.
Flocking powder should be fine when it's been stuck to a surface but I agree that it's probably not ideal to spread the powder around.
What else can you use besides silicone? Can you use Elmers glue
Thinking about starting a taba squishy business :)
recently i found some clear crystal squishies on amazon, I wonder if they can be melted like other mochis?
Can someone recommend a shop that peeps in the USA can purchase from
I am buying one after my exams! Im so very excited for it but i have a question,i have no experience of making these,and im scared I’ll fail,so is there any tips for making these?thank you so much for this wonderful video!
In my experience if you have the right type of silicone then it's almost foolproof! I've ordered bunch of different squishy silicones and will be testing them out soon to see which ones produce the most authentic squishy texture. Using Vaseline and a soft mold definitely helps as well
Macaroon you inspire me to buy more mochis😂😂😂
Something interesting to note is Gel Candle wax works AMAZING for mold making. It acts as a reusable melt and pour mold maker.
I've never thought of this but that's a decent idea
Do you happen to know what temperature it melts at? I'm wondering if it would work for UV resin, which heats up when it cures
@@Izzy-cp8ytI believe it’s starts melting at 220 f for most brands- it should be fine with UV resin but check the packaging first
@@gooey-boop5520 oh perfect! That's about the same temperature my putty mold maker melts at, so it should be fine! Thank you for this info, I may have to try this one day!
Oh that sounds very interesting! Never thought of that before and would love to try it
Can I mix acrylic paint with the silicone?
Brittany Broski needs to watch this right now
id like to buy some, do you guys recommend any good shops?
Oh my god I finally found a youtuber who doesn't scream into the mic.Also what nationality are you? Its fine if you don't want to answer. Your videos are the best.
Thank you!! I'm Chinese though I grew up in Austria and live here too
So this is the fake marshmallow. i kept seeing those hamster shorts and still kept thinking it marshmallows.
So is squishy gel an alternative to taba squishy gel.
Can we use a uv light to cure?
do you have recommendations of some of the ones you’ve purchased? I want to buy some but I want to get good ones!
I'm going to make a video soon with various types of squishy gel that can be ordered via international shipping. So far the best results I had were from the chinese squishy gel but that's going to be a bit tricky for people to obtain. So I'm very curious to see if any of the Aliexpress ones have the same properties!
Where did you get the molds?
Love ur vids btw
❤❤❤
Joana has no affiliation with them and is just saying where the stuff can be bought if you want to make these DIYs.. she isn’t doing anything wrong, if you don’t like them don’t buy from there!
Is it possible to use foam and nano tape to make a slow rising squishy? 🤨🤔
Joanna I was having maqaroon content withdrawals and thought to myself… *sighs* there’s nothing much to watch on YT rn and then here you are 😭😭😭😭
Yay! So happy you liked this. This one took so long to make but hope it was worth the wait 😁
@@maqaroonYESSS the fact that it’s almost 17mins is definitely worth the wait 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love when you share your culture with us!
How toxic are they?
Why do I want to eat these 💀
1:16 Xiaohongshu! 😂
Rowden 😂
I'm nervous thinking about other people using flocking powder and no wearing a face mask. The idea of breathing in those tiny fibers that straight up looks fiberglass freaks me out.
Maqaroon flipping the mold inside out and back:
Me hearing pop it noises:
Hi i got a question, I’m buying a taba squishy kit and I’m wondering where to dry them and I researched it but it showed nothing 😭
Hii did you figure it out? I'm curious and might buy a kit too
I dare you to make a gigantic silicone or taba squishy
Make it like really really really big
If u can maybe like 1 foot long?
Just out of curiosity, Joanna, how many languages do you speak? I know English, German, and Mandarin, but are there others as well?
Hi just wanted to let you knows something about mica and mica powder. It I mostly collected through child labor in India if you want to learn more about it refinery 29 has a good video about it
Please stop promoting Temu. People have been asking a lot.
Why?
This entire video is about a very obscure product that's currently only available in China so it's inevitable that I have to mention Chinese shopping platforms at some point. Temu is one of the biggest but obviously nobody is obliged to shop there if they don't want to. I also mention Amazon and I know many people boycott that too.
@@maqaroongirl do better 😭 why are you so defensive like you had no choice but to make this video and support unethical labor practices 💀
@@keibella no YOU do better…
How much is it ❤
I am trying to find the solution for the taba, however no matter what keywords I use I am unable to find the silicone mix for the tabas. Which keywords did you use to find these silicone mixes??😅
Try using “squishy gel”, “squishy silicone” or “pinch toy gel”. I ordered a whole bunch from Aliexpress and will be testing them for a future video to see which brand has the most accurate taba texture!
Thanks ❤
It would be cool if you tried making squishies using gel wax melts
I did that before in this video (czcams.com/video/F6sVnkvm7TU/video.html) and it worked great 😄! The only downside is that the gel wax will break apart if you squeeze too hard so it's not as squishable as a mochi/taba
Hi, I have a question. I’ve recently purchased these mini gummy bear molds for tabs squishies, but when I take it out, it’s either deformed or squishy. Sometimes the dye leaks down to my mold and I can’t get it offl
Hi! It sounds like you may be using the wrong type of pigment for squishies and that can also be affecting the curing process. I find the oil based ones I showed in this video work best and they will definitely not stain the mould. Try making a batch without any colouring to see if the silicone cures better. If not, then you can adjust the mixing ratio to make it more solid. If it works well without any colour then it means whatever was being added to the squishy gel as causing the problem!
@@maqaroon I also have another question, why must the A and B glue need to be Mixed together? Can’t they come in one bottle?
@@TotallyM1chelle im not sure, but i found mentions of this: "pot life. Silicone has a time where it stays liquid and easily workable after you have mixed the two components together. That is the pot life."
so its probably in 2 parts because it would harden/cure if it was mixed
@@TotallyM1chelle Mixing them starts the chemical reaction which causes it to solidify so unfortunately it can’t be sold in the same bottle.
Make bfdi squishy 😊
Hi
Oh ur still here 👍

such a treat to see a new 17 minute video right as i was getting bored lol
This was one of the longest videos I ever made 😆
@@maqaroon the longer the better💋
I hate you for disrespecting her after she made this for us.
@@AmiyahEditz i hate you for your baseless bickering. I love Joanna and this channel and it was a massive part of my childhood. Take your assumptions somewhere else.
@AmiyahEditz what???
Thank you sm for this vid! I was looking all over for how to make tabs squishes, but since most of the videos were in Chinese and don’t give much info I didn’t know what to do! 🤍🤍
I ordered a whole bunch of the various squishy gels with international shipping. I'll be testing them out as soon as they arrive to see which one produces the most authentic taba texture!
And right now at my country it is night
