  Step 1

  make a pattern. I did it like this by drawing a circle and and made a stencil like thing (as seen on right side). its about 1/16 of the circle.

• 

  Step 2

  use the pattern to cut out 2 swirly things, 2 red circles, and I cut out 2 extra circles for the inside for support (to help keep its shape).

• 

  Step 3

  sew swirls and circles together (the white circles are on the bottom).

• 

  Step 4

  sew together and stuff.

• Step 5

  cut out tulle so that it will go all around the candy plus some and plenty extra for the side gathered thing (you can always trim it at the end).

• 

  Step 6

  wrap the tulle around the plush in the middle. take thread and wrap the ends so their all gathered trim if necessary.

Super cute! Now I can't help wondering what a couch full of tulle wrapped candie plush pillows would look.

that is very cute idea! Though I don't think the tulle would be all that comfortable to put your head on, but for a certain look it would look amazing in.. I think I still want to try making one of these days though.. If I ever get through my long list of stuff I want to try and make.. it keeps piling on but not getting to making them has been a bit detrimental.. Ah well I bet I am not the only crafty person who has this problem!

actually, if you use softer tulle (not the stiff stuff) you can hardly tell its there. but that's true. and I know exactly what you mean with the craft list thing. I have a couple notebooks filled with projects and ideas XD

I didn't realize that there was softer tulle, the only kind I have ever been able to find is always the harder stuff... Maybe I am just unlucky and the stores here don't carry it?

don't have a joanns here, don't even have a michaels.. Have a fabricland but they only seem to carry the hard tulle, not the softer stuff.. ah well.. There is talk of a Michaels coming here where I live which would be amazing if it did..

I totally undertand Penny! I cant get out in my small town even if we did have a Michaels too!! Im just outside of Acton ON and I know your town well: shes not kidding when she says they just dont have a place with the softer stuffing LOL. Sorry dont mean to laugh. Penny, I do alot of my shopping ON LINE with a reloadable VISA specifically for that reason. Can you google closest store that ships to your area with the right type maybe? Just a friendly suggestion.

@ Jeanine, right now is not a good time for me to be buying stuff from other places.. but there is talk that Michaels is coming to our little city... no I don't mind that you are laughing, it is a funny situation.. Eventually I will figure out something.. right now just going to save my money for now..
