Fixing this crunchy tofu squishy from shein

Transcript

This is a crunchy tofu that I got from Shein and the skin feels good, it feels durable, but it's like mostly air and it kind of sucks. So I'm going to fix it. I am pulling the seal apart. Perfect. Okay, this is what's inside. The clay is like really dry and crumbly. I think I'm going to try to salvage this. I will add this clay to it. I'm definitely going to soften it with some lotion at the end, but for now it needs way more crunch. I'm going to add clay beads. See, I'm going to add these. Let's see if it makes a difference. These are so cute. Ooh, it sounds so sizzly. I actually love the texture that that added to it. What is this? Like glitter? Gave it sort of like a sizzly texture. But this definitely needs to be softened up. I'm going to add some of this. Oh, so gross. I don't like my hands being messy. Oh, I just have to tell myself it's going to be over soon. I can wash my hands. I think I'm going to add more clay beads. Now I'm going to add some of these Legos. More sequins. I think I'm going to like roll it in this glitter. This is the glue that I'm using. Come back for results.
