Description
Create your own colorful stress balls to relieve tension and enjoy a satisfying tactile experience.
Ingredients
- Balloons (any colors you love)
- Flour, rice, or uncooked beans (for filling)
- A funnel (or a sturdy piece of paper rolled into a cone)
- A pair of scissors (to trim the balloons if necessary)
- Optional: food coloring (if you want to add color to your filling)
- Optional: essential oils (for a soothing scent)
Instructions
- Start by preparing your balloon. Gently stretch it a few times to create a soft feel.
- If you wish to add color to your filling, mix some food coloring into your flour or rice.
- Using your funnel, begin to fill the balloon with your chosen material, taking your time.
- Fill the balloon until it reaches your desired firmness.
- Once filled, carefully pinch the opening of the balloon to prevent spills.
- Tie the end of the balloon in a secure knot.
- If you like, trim any excess balloon length with scissors.
- For an added layer of comfort, consider applying a small drop of essential oil to the outside of the balloon.
- Allow your stress ball to rest for a moment, letting it settle comfortably in your hands.
Notes
Store your stress balls in a cool, dry place. If they lose their squishiness, you can refresh them by cutting open the balloon, refilling, and tying it up again.
