DIY stress ball kit
Are the materials used in this kit safe?
Yes. All components—TPR skins, slime, clay, assorted fillers, dyes, and gloves—are non-toxic and meet safety standards. Simply avoid ingesting any pieces and keep small parts away from young children and pets.
I’m worried about allergens—can anyone use this kit?
The fillers and materials are formulated without common allergens like latex, nuts, or gluten. The TPR skins are latex-free, and the slime and clay are water-based. If you have a specific chemical sensitivity (e.g., to fragrance or dye), we recommend doing a patch test on a small amount before full use. For anyone prone to skin irritation, use the included gloves or wash hands thoroughly after crafting.
How difficult is it to make a stress ball, and what’s the process? Do I need any special skills?
Making your own stress ball is surprisingly simple. First, choose and prepare your fillers—mix slime or knead the clay, or gather beads and wood chips. Then, gently pour your prepared fillers into a TPR skin, use the air pump to remove any excess air, and secure the opening with a zip tie. That’s it! No special skills required—our one complete tutorial video walks you through the entire process, so you’ll finish your very first stress ball in no time.
Are there any safety risks I should be aware of?
While materials are non-toxic, some fillers (beads, wood chips) are choking hazards—keep them away from children under 3 years old or pets. The slime and clay can stain certain fabrics, so work on a washable surface or use old newspapers. Always remove jewelry and avoid sharp objects that could puncture the ball. Dispose of any damaged or leaking balls immediately and replace the skin.
Is this kit suitable as a gift, and how should I package it?
Absolutely. Many customers purchase this kit for Mother’s Day, birthdays, or as a “thinking of you” gift. Each kit comes in a sturdy, gift-ready box. If you’d like to add a personal touch, wrap the box in decorative paper or include a handwritten note. The vibrant slime and colorful beads inside add a fun unboxing experience for recipients.
I have sensory-seeking needs (e.g., ADHD or autism). What’s the best way to customize my stress ball?
For a stronger tactile experience, add more textured fillers like wooden beads or foam blocks. If you prefer a quieter ball, stick to smooth clay or foam fillers. For sensory seekers, you can layer multiple materials—start with a base of slime or clay, then add beads, followed by a final layer of foam. Experiment in small batches until you find the perfect combination that meets your sensory and squeezing preferences.
What should I do If my stress ball dirty?
You can clean it using dish soap or makeup remover, then rinse thoroughly with water. After rinsing, either blow-dry it with a hairdryer or let it air dry naturally.

Handmade finished ball
Can I get a refund if I don’t like the texture or feel?
No, tactile preferences vary by individual. Please watch our texture-demonstration videos before purchasing. Refunds or exchanges for texture dissatisfaction are not offered.
What should I do if my stress ball arrives significantly damaged?
Contact our customer service team with an unboxing video as proof. We’ll evaluate your case and provide support.
How do I maintain and store my stress ball?
Store your stress ball in a cool, dry place to prevent evaporation. Avoid sharp objects and strong squeezing to prolong its lifespan.
Are handmade stress balls safe for children?
Yes, but children should use them under adult supervision. The included hose needle should be handled carefully to prevent accidents.
Why does my stress ball feel sticky or prone to damage?
Some balls are designed with soft or textured fillings, which may create a stickier feel. Excessive squeezing or pinching can damage the ball skin. Handle gently to extend its usability.
Will my stress ball look and feel exactly like the pictures or videos?
Not always. Handmade products may have slight variations in texture, feel, and appearance due to differences in batch production and diverse fillings like slime or clay blends.
Can I refill the stress ball if it loses fullness?
Yes, you can refill using the included hose needle. In cases of significant evaporation, additional filling materials may be provided (if applicable).
Why does my stress ball have air bubbles or feel less full?
Air bubbles in tied stress balls are normal upon arrival. Water-based fillings (e.g., slime or clay blends) may evaporate slightly over time, causing a reduction in fullness.
Solution: Use the included hose needle to re-tie or deflate as needed. For significantly deflated balls upon receipt, provide an unboxing video to customer service for support.
What should I do if I find imperfections on my stress ball?
Minor flaws such as small black dots, faint lines, or slight odors on the skin, as well as tiny debris (dust, hairs, or specks) in the filling, are normal and not covered under after-sales policies. These imperfections reflect the handmade nature of the product.
Are handmade stress balls returnable or exchangeable?
No, handmade stress balls are custom-crafted, and both the skin and filling are consumable and cannot be reused. Due to the high production cost, returns or exchanges are not accepted. By placing an order, you agree to this policy.
Handmade slow rising squishies
Are these squishies edible?
No, these squishies are made of food-grade silicone but are not edible. They are designed for stress relief and decoration, not consumption.
What if my squishy has small imperfections?
Each squishy is handmade, so slight imperfections like tiny bubbles, uneven colors, or minor dust marks are normal. These are not considered defects but unique characteristics of handmade items.
Why does the packaging sometimes have Vaseline-like marks or damage?
During demolding, some packaging may get Vaseline-like residue or minor damage, which is normal. Replacement belts are included for self-repair if needed.
Will my squishy look exactly like the pictures or videos?
Not necessarily. Color variations and slight design differences occur between batches, especially for gradient or multicolor styles. Each squishy is unique!
My squishy sticks to my hands. What should I do?
Some squishies are soft and may stick. To prevent this, you can play with them inside the bag or apply powder (e.g., starch, setting powder, or baby powder) for a smoother feel.
I don’t like the texture or feel of the squishy. Can I request a refund?
Tactile preferences vary by person. To avoid disappointment, please watch demo videos before ordering. Requests for refunds based on texture dislike will not be accepted.
How do I care for my squishy?
Avoid violent kneading, pinching, or exposing the squishy to high heat or sharp objects. Handle gently to ensure its longevity.
What should I do if there’s a problem with my order?
