What you need
How to make it, step by step
1Print the template
Print your blue rolled chips template at 100% scale on plain printer paper—make sure to turn off “fit to page”. Check the scale line in the top corner; it should measure 2 inches (50 mm on A4). If you picked the black and white coloring page, color the purple bag, fiery flames, and blue chips now, then let any marker ink dry completely.
2Tape the pieces
Cover both the front and back bag pieces with wide clear packing tape, applying it only over the designs rather than the whole sheet. Smooth each strip from the center of the fireball outwards without stretching it, since stretched tape wrinkles later. This glossy layer gives your snack bag a realistic shiny wrapper look while making it strong and extra squishy.
3Cut out both pieces
Use your scissors to cut out the front and back pieces right along the solid outer line. Take your time curving around the flared corners of the chip bag and along the gently pinched sides, making sure to keep the small white border intact all the way around.
4Add a tape border to the back
Lay the back piece printed side down onto strips of clear tape with the sticky side facing up. Trim the tape about 1 cm (½ inch) past the paper edge, then snip this sticky border every 2 cm (1 inch) right up to the paper, especially around the curved bag corners. These little flaps will hold your squishy together.
5Join front and back
Place the front piece right on top of the back piece with the white sides together, lining up the top and bottom bag seals. Fold the sticky tape flaps over the front edge one by one and press them down firmly. Leave a 3.5 cm (1½ inch) gap open on one side (shown by the pink line in the illustration) for stuffing.
6Stuff it
Tear plastic bags, cotton, or fiberfill into small pieces and push them inside through the open side gap. Fill the far corners of the chip bag first so the wrapper shape puffs out evenly, then fill the center until it feels soft and puffy. Stop before overfilling—too much stuffing makes the seams pop.
7Close the gap
Fold the remaining tape flaps neatly over the open side of the bag and seal the gap shut with an extra strip of regular clear tape. Run your finger firmly along the top seal, bottom edge, and both curved sides to press all the tape down well.
8Squish!
Your spicy blue rolled chips bag is ready to squish! Give the puffy pillow a squeeze and watch the fireball pop right back up. If you want a slow-rising paper squishy, gently prick one tiny pinhole in the back of the bag to let air escape slowly.

Tips for the perfect squish
- An edge splits open. If a seam pops along the curved side or corner of your chip bag, place a new short strip of clear tape right across the edge, overlapping the old tape.
- My squishy feels too hard. If the chip bag feels stiff instead of pillowy, it has too much stuffing inside. Gently peel open the side gap, pull out some filling, and tape the edge shut again.
- The tape wrinkles on the bag. Wide tape can crease if you pull it tight while laying it over the artwork. Use shorter strips and lay them down gently from the center outwards without stretching.
- Dark blue and purple smeared. Rich marker colors for the purple wrapper and blue chips take a moment to set on plain paper. Always let marker ink dry completely before laying down packing tape; printer ink is fine right away.
Questions
What stuffing makes the best chips paper squishy?
Cut-up plastic grocery bags are amazing for a chip bag squishy because they make a realistic crinkly wrapper sound when you squeeze it! If you prefer a quiet, cloud-soft pillow, use cotton balls or fiberfill, or try tiny pieces of memory foam for a slow-rising feel.
Is there a black and white paper squishy template for these chips?
Yes! The free PDF download includes 3 versions: the full-color blue rolled chips bag, a black and white coloring page so you can color your own spicy flavor, and a blank outline.
Can I use glue instead of tape to seal the chip bag?
Not for the edges. Glue won’t stick to tape-covered paper, so your snack bag seams would pop right open when squeezed. The snipped tape border folded over the edge holds best.
What paper works best for a food paper squishy template?
Plain printer paper (80–100 gsm / 20–24 lb) works best. Heavy cardstock makes the bag stiff, so it won’t squish and puff back up as nicely.
Can I make a whole snack set with a group or class?
Yes! Plan about 30 minutes, print one sheet per person, and pre-cut the tape strips so kids can color while you help with taping. You can even pair these blue rolled chips with our cheese puffs squishy for a fun snack party.
