Gem Paper Squishy Template, Blue Diamond
For readers in the USA: here we sell our squishies as stress balls and collectibles for ages 14 and up. They are not toys for children. Any age tips in this guide apply to our shops outside the USA.
Our gem paper squishy template is a light blue diamond with facets in lighter and darker blue and a little sparkle, free to print. A kawaii face with pink cheeks sits on the gem. Straight edges make it quick to cut.
Quick answer
Print at 100 % and colour the facets in two blues. Tape both halves, cut along the grey border and join them. Stuff it evenly. An adult cuts, and paper gems aren't for children under three.

A light blue diamond
Gems add a bit of sparkle to the kawaii set. Ours is a classic diamond shape.
The top is flat with angled sides that meet in a point at the bottom. Lighter and darker facets make it look cut. On the back the facets continue without a face, and colouring them in two or three shades of blue is a fun little exercise in light and shadow.
Straight lines are easy to cut.

How to make the gem squishy
- Print with scaling off and colour the facets light and dark blue.
- Leave a white sparkle.
- Tape both gems and cut along the outside of the grey border.
- Tape the halves back to back along the top and one side.
