A twisted knot with salt

A real pretzel would have three holes and thin arms. That doesn't work as a squishy, because thin parts tear when you stuff them.

So the holes are printed in light beige. The knot is a deep brown with white salt crystals sprinkled over it. The face sits right in the middle of the twist, and the back shows salt only.

The outline is one chunky shape. Cutting it is easy.

How to make the pretzel squishy

1. Print at actual size and colour the knot brown. Leave the holes light.
2. Dot the salt with white if you're on the outline page.
3. Cover both halves with wide tape and cut along the outside of the grey border.
4. Tape the halves back to back in short strips.
5. Stuff the knot evenly through a gap at the bottom and close it.

Don't cut into the holes, even if it's tempting. The paper squishy guide explains why thin bits tear, and there's a croissant in the template collection.
