Okay so this is what you will need.
1. an old white t-shirt (i used a small adult one i had laying around just pick one that works best for you child)
2. pillow fill ( i used about 3 bags depends on how fluffy you want it)
3. 1 can of spray adhesive (any brand will work i used elmers)
4. Spray paint (any color you want we used Krylon in ballet slipper pink)
5. a piece of poster board (to make the cone)
6. Some ribbon to tie on the hat (you can use elastic if you want but i didnt have any)
Okay so first i took the shirt (try it on them first to see if it will be the size you like) Then i put the shirt over a piece of cardboard so it would be flat, the started spraying the adhesive in small sections and stuck the pillow fill on and continued on one side until i got the whole shirt covered then let it dry. Flip it over and continue on back and sides. I allowed it to dry for an hour then sprayed the pillow fill with the adhesive and added more pillow fill on top (just because she asked for super fluffy cotton candy) let it dry for at least an hour, Then i sprayed it with the spray paint more like misted i held the can back so you wont get harsh lines or blobs, let it dry and repeat until you get the look you want. (ours has some white showing under but its okay looks more realistic). Take the poster board and roll it until you get a cone shape with a small hole on top just like a cotton candy stick then glue it i used hot glue but im sure any glue or tape or even staple it would work. ( i couldnt figure it out lol so my hubby did that part) it fit her head perfect. So i sprayed the bottom of the poster board and attached pillow fill . Then i hot glued the ribbon on each side (on the inside) of the hat and tada! cotton candy. (our shirt streached out a bit but nothing a saftey pin didnt fix. and i now have a happy 5 year old super fluffy cotton candy!!!
