How To Stim toys can be made.

Stimming is a good way to stay calm.There are some examples of stim toys you can make at home.These items will help you in a positive way.

Step 1: There is a chewable item.

The material is non-toxic and won't break when chewed.An item that is small and lightweight can be used as jewelry.If the toy is for a child, make sure it is small enough to be swallowed.There are many types of rubber, plastic, and stones that can be chewed.

Step 2: Pick a string or chain.

The string, ribbon, and chain can be used as jewelry.When choosing a holder, make sure it is non-toxic and won't break when chewed.The holder's texture is just as important as the object.Some people like a silky ribbon while others prefer a clunky chain.You can try out different materials.

Step 3: Attach the item.

You can attach the item by drilling a small hole and threading the string or chain through it.A wire cage hanging from a necklace or bracelet can be used to have a chewable.A knotting method can be used to create a tiny net around your object.

Step 4: The length needs to be adjusted.

Decide if you want a necklace, bracelet, anklet or something else.You will need to learn how to add clasps and change the length of a jewelry chain if you are using chain.If you are using string or ribbon, you can simply cut the ends to the length you want and tie them together using a square knot.

Step 5: Pick your case and decorations.

There are a lot of phone cases and plastic decorative items available online.There is a choice of a hard, solid-colored or clear case.There are items that have interesting appearance and texture.You can find tiny velvet animals, mini mirrors, fabric patches, and anything else that is small enough to fit on a phone case.Since this is on your phone, you will not be chewing it, so don't worry about paint or small parts.

Step 6: You should protect your work surface.

If you want to prevent glue from getting on your table, lay down newspaper, printer paper, saran wrap, or any other material.

Step 7: The case needs to be prepared.

A hard plastic phone case is not flexible.Rub alcohol on the phone case to remove fingerprints.Cotton balls can be used with rubbing alcohol or premade alcohol wipes.Leave the case on the table and do not touch it with your skin.

Step 8: Take care of your decorations.

You can find your own decorations or buy online made for phone cases.To clean the backs of the decorations, rub alcohol on them and then place them on the phone case without glue.

Step 9: Start with glue.

There are many colors of glue for plastic.Some of the choices include FuwaFuwa, E6000 Craft Adhesive, and others.Check the glue ingredients before using if you have a latex allergy.Attach the decorative pieces to the back of your phone case once you are ready.

Step 10: Use and dry.

Check the instructions for drying the glue.When your case is done drying, put it on your phone and play with it.

Step 11: There is clear elastic cord, glue, and beads.

Plastic beads are cheap and simple, while glass beads look fancy and can be worn to work.The glue should be clear and not shatter easily.It's best to mix two-part epoxy glue or E-6000 by hand.

Step 12: The beads should be stringed along the cord.

It's better to have one large bead and one small bead.Round beads are more comfortable to hold in your hands.

Step 13: The elastic should be tied once or twice.

Take the bracelet off your wrist.Is it comfortable?Is it necessary to make it larger or smaller?As you take the bracelet on or off, the knot may try to undone itself.If this happens, you should ask a friend to pull the knot tight.

Step 14: Once the bracelet is the correct size, glue the knot.

Place your bracelet on a piece of paper.Pull the cord tightly, then glue it.Apply a lot of glue.As long as the instructions say, let it sit to dry.There are glues that involve fumes.Attach the bracelet outside.The fumes will be gone when it is dry.If your beads are translucent, don't glue them in as it may make them less shiny.It will be easier to keep out the center of the beads with a thicker glue.

Step 15: When the glue is dry, clip off the ends of the string.

If you apply a lot of glue, you should be able to cut it very close and make it smooth.

Step 16: Put the bracelet around one thumb and close your fist around it.

Pull the bracelet with your other hand.You can run your fingers over it or wave it around.

Step 17: Get a balloon and some flour.

Water balloons are more susceptible to popping than a typical balloon, so use a water balloon instead.These will pop easily, so don't get a cheap balloon.As a precautionary measure, you may want to put one balloon inside of another balloon.You can use latex-free balloons if you have an allergy.

Step 18: You can open the balloon's neck.

To widen the balloon's neck, you can use your fingers.

Step 19: The flour should be put into the balloon.

Add flour to the balloon with a small spoon.You should be careful to avoid spilling flour over your workspace.

Step 20: The balloon is medium in size.

It is impossible to change the form of the balloon using your hands if it is not full enough.You run the risk of it bursting and making a mess when you squeeze it if it's firm to the touch.

Step 21: Attach the balloon's neck to the ground.

If you want to knot the balloon, you need to stretch it out and then slip the end of the neck through the loop.Don't flip the balloon in a way that causes the flour to spill out.Tie both of the balloons, not just one, if you've double-bagged them.Tuck the innermost knot into the second balloon.

Step 22: The balloon should be squeezed.

You can move the flour around inside the balloon with your hands.If you squeeze all the flour to one end of the balloon, it might pop.

Step 23: There is a see-through jar, some water, food coloring, glitter glue, and glitter.

Food coloring and glitter can be used to fill the jar.You need to boil the water if you want to use the stove.metallic confetti can be added to the glitter jar.When you shake the jar, it can add some extra sparkle.If you or the recipient have poor coordination, this may not be the best choice for a stim toy, as a glass jar will break if dropped, and the hot water required in the project may melt a plastic jar.

Step 24: The water needs to be boiled.

You can do this with a pot.

Step 25: The boiling water should be put into the jar.

Keep a distance from the pot or kettle and the water if you want to avoid burning yourself or splashing hot water on you.

Step 26: Add a few drops of food coloring.

When adding food coloring to water, make sure you add enough to get the color you want.

Step 27: You should shake in the glitter.

Put the glitter and glitter glue into the hot water.To stir it, use a spoon.

Step 28: Add in anything else.

You can put any other decorations.There are small plastic toys.Put them in the glitter water.

Step 29: The lid must be closed tightly.

Make sure the lid is closed.If you don't want to open the jar at any point, you can glue the lid shut.

Step 30: Put the jar in a container.

To use the toy, shake the jar and watch the glitter swirl.A calm down jar is a glitter jar that creates a calming visual effect.

Step 31: You need to gather your supplies.

You will need a variety of plastic bottles, buttons, beads, dry rice, popcorn kernels, and dry beans.Small plastic toys, small seashells, and/or glitter can be gathered if desired.

Step 32: The materials should be put in the sensory bottles.

Something should be placed in each bottle.One bottle with rice and another with beads.The bottles should be filled halfway or nearly to the top.If you want, add any accessories.

Step 33: The bottles should be closed tightly.

If you don't want to open the bottles again, glue the caps shut.

Step 34: The bottles should be shaken.

Shake the bottles and listen to the noise they make.

Step 35: You should get the things you need.

You will need a large sealable plastic bag, hair gel, duct tape, and other accessories for your event.

Step 36: Take the bottle of hair gel out of the bag.

The bag should not be too full since you don't want it to break.

Step 37: Add the accessories that you want.

Step 38: The bag needs to be sealed tightly.

To keep the gel from spilling out, close the bag and duct tape the sides.If the first plastic bag leaks, you may want to put the bag inside another bag.

Step 39: The gel pad needs to be squeezed.

You can feel the texture of the toy with your hands.

Step 40: Pick out what you need.

You will need a stuffed animal.There are pebbles, beads, buttons, and dry beans.There are small bags, a sewing needle, and thread.If you can't sew or have poor fine motor control, this may not be the best stim toy for you.

Step 41: Use the seam ripper to open the stuffed animal.

Pull out the cotton filling from the toy.

Step 42: The small weighted materials should be put in the small bags.

Close the bags tightly.

Step 43: You can refill the stuffed animal.

The stuffed animal has bags inside.The cotton filling should be placed back as well.
