Here finally is the much requested cotton candy tutorial!
Thank you for your patience!

Have fun! I tried to break down the steps as simple as possible. Let me know how your cotton candies turn out. :]

Note about part III:
If you're worried about the stability of tucking, my cotton candy was put through 2 long con days (+ travelling) and did not deteriorate or change condition at all.

Why make fake cotton candy?
It's not sticky.
It won't melt.
It lasts longer.
Easier to transport.
It's a prop!

Get in touch with me on facebook, if you like. :]

Thanks for the tutorial. Polyester stuffing alone didn't have the right texture, but this will do it!

This is AWESOME.
I work at a toy store & sweet shop and we've been wanting candy props for a long time!
So today I started making these, currently waiting for them to dry, and my boss is going to be ecstatic!

Too cute!
