Juice Box 3D Paper Squishy Template

Fold-up net of a juice box with a straw, fruit graphic and a smiling face as a colorful 3D squishy template

Not a flat squishy this time, but a real little box: the juice box is folded into a 3D shape, stuffed with cotton and feels wonderfully plump in your hand.

✂️ What’s in the Template

The PDF has two pages: page 1 is the colorful net with a fruit graphic, face and straw, page 2 is the same net to color. Folded, the box is about 2.5 inches tall and decorated on every side. Print on US Letter.

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Print at 100% and color it in (or use the color page).
2
Cut out and pre-fold all dashed lines.
3
Cover with wide clear tape, then crease the folds again.

5
Stuff with cotton, tuck in the lid and secure it with tape – your 3D squishy is done.

💡 Tips

  • Score all folds with a ruler and a blunt pen before taping.
  • Tape the net first, then fold, so the edges stay straight.
  • Stuff the corners with cotton first so the box does not look dented.
  • Add the straw last, either glued on or drawn.

🎨 Color Ideas
