This tutorial shows how to make DIY squishy dumplings using pre-made silicone dumpling skins. You mix slime with fun decorations like glitter, stars, moons, and snowflakes. Next, you stuff the slime into the stretchy skins using an expander tool or your fingers. Then, you place a rubber plug over the opening. Finally, you apply glue around the plug and set a heavy object on top while it dries. The result is a collection of slow-rising, squishy dumpling toys.
