Trying Paper towel "Wax" cracking on my paper squishes! (Watch till the end to see my review before you try this!) ✨ Paper Squishes I'll be using: Trying to wrap the squishes! Here they are! Chocolate 🍫 5/10 ⭐️ I think it melted while I was setting it up (I refreeze the other ones in between takes) still very satisfying! What it looked like after freezing them again 🥶 Rilakkuma Melon 6/10 ⭐️ This is toilet paper, the crunch is pretty good but I didn't tape my squishy well enough so the water got to it! The squish is perfectly ok though (Should I make a video about fixing this one?) Strawberry butter 🍓 3/10 ⭐️ I think it was the way I squished it but overall it was just okay The water only got to the squishy a bit! Mostly Around the corners GIANT BUTTER 🧈 2/10 ⭐️ Lost the footage twice for this one so I had to redo I was on a time crunch so I didn't wait long enough! Water did get in to the squishy a bit, but it is ok! ✅ Remember to clean up afterwards! 🧼 MY REVIEW! I would try this again but some things I would recommend you to do differently is CHOOSE squishes you don't mind getting messed up BECAUSE the water can get into the squishy. And to wait longer for them to freeze 🧊 would you try this?
