Salted Butter Paper Squishy Template

Buttercup-yellow paper butter pack with a smiling face, salt crystals and wrapper band

Salted butter is the classic of the Butter Collection: buttercup yellow, sprinkled with salt crystals and wearing a happy little face. The best part is unwrapping it – slide off the band, hear the crinkle, and there it is. A great first butter squishy.

✂️ What’s in the Template

The PDF has the net for a 3D butter pack measuring about 3.1 × 1.7 × 1.4 in, with a face on top and salt crystals and buttercups on the sides and ends. A wrapper band goes around the middle – everything comes once in color and once to color in. Prints fine on US Letter.

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Cut out the butter pack and band, then pre-fold every fold line using a ruler.
2
Cover the template with wide clear tape so it gets smooth and sturdy.
3
Tape the tab inside, tuck in the end, stuff with fiberfill and close the last side.
4
Wrap the band around the middle and tape it in the back.

💡 Tips

  • Run an empty ballpoint pen along the lines before folding for crisper edges.
  • Add fiberfill in small tufts so the pack stays nice and boxy.
  • Don't tape the band too tight, or it'll be hard to slide off.
  • Tape over the face on top first so it doesn't crease.

🎨 Color Ideas

Buttercup Yellow
Bold yellow on the sides, with the salt crystals left white or light gray.
Sea Salt Blue
Color the crystals pale blue so they look like flaky sea salt.
Creamy Pale
Just a touch of yellow and lots of cream, like butter straight from the fridge.
