I made this soft plush burger for my sister; she loved it! It doesn't take much time, money, or skill. I'm 10 years old and could manage to make this (maybe it's because I'm awesome! :D jk.) But anyway, here is a how-to on how to make it, hope you enjoy! :)It made my mouth water even though I hate burgers and think they're gross and fattening! :O(Ps- sorry for the bad pictures! I had to take them with my computer's webcam, and it was really hard to take them!) Good luck making this project! :)

First you're going to need a circle template for the bottom bun. I made my template with tracing paper. Just remember as you make the template, the bun will probably turn out a little smaller than the template once it's done.
Now that you have the template, cut out two circles the size of your template. It should look kind of like this. :)
Sew the two circles together, making sure to leave a little hole so you can turn it inside-out and stuff it. Turn it inside-out.
Stuff the bottom bun and sew the hole shut. Set the bottom bun aside.
Next cut out a slightly smaller cirlce for the cheeseburger meat. Don't make it too much smaller, I did this and it turned out REALLY small and I had to re-do it. :O
Next cut out 2 circles using your template. Sew them together, making sure to leave a hole so you can turn it inside out and stuff it. I used brown fluffy fabric (which didn't turn out as well) because I didn't have any brown felt. But I would really reccommend using brown felt.
Turn it inside out.
Stuff it and sew the hole shut. Set the cheeseburger meat aside. :)
Next cut out a square to be the cheese. How big you want the cheese slice depends on how big your cheeseburger meat turned out. Set the cheese aside.
Now cut out the template for the lettuce. This is probably the hardest template to make because you have to make perfect waves (at least that's what I did.)
Using the lettuce template you made, cut out the lettuce. Set the lettuce aside. :)
For the tomato template, I made something kind of like a half circle, because the other half won't be seen since it will be hidden inside the burger. You could cut out a full circle if you wanted.
Using the template, cut out a few tomatoes. You'll want to cut out two or three. I cut out three because I made my burger pretty big and two tomatoes didn't look good enough. :) Set the tomatoes aside.
Now it's time for the top bun. Do the same as you did for the bottom bun, until the point where you get to stuffing it. Stuff it a little more than the bottom bun, so it will look puffier.
Now that you have all the burger parts, use a hot glue gun and glue them together. It's almost done! :D
Last is the sesame seeds. You could use real sesame seeds, but I used pearled barley (which is a different kind of seed that I randomly found in my pantry.)Glue these on the top bun with a hot glue gun, and then you're done! :D The sesame seed part is optional, but putting the seeds on it really gives it a nice burger look :)
If you've read all the way down to here, thank you for reading! (: I would really appreciate it if you would make this fun project and post your version of it :) It would make my day! :D I hope you like my tutorial :) ~Sarah
