  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun
  • Polyester fiberfil
  • pen or sharpie to sketch the outline

  2. Once you have that cut out, you’ll need something smaller to place in the centre for the donut hole. Trace the smaller circle with something circular and cut that out as well.
  3. Then, glue the donut edges with a hot glue gun. Make sure you leave a hole big enough for your hand to get into it or else you won’t be able to stuff your donut with cotton.
  4. Now, flip the fabric inside out and start hot-glueing the centre circle into place.
  5. Time to do frosting for your donut pillow! Pick any color of fabric you’d like your frosting to be, and sketch out the shape using a pencil. Again, cut out the frosting and glue it on top of the donut.
  6. Start to stuff the deflated donut with stuffing.
  7. Once you get to the hole where you left it opened, glue the mouth bit by bit by adding more stuffing while you’re doing it. Keep doing it in the same manner until the mouth is closed.
  8. For the sprinkles, choose your preferred fabric color and cut out little rectangles. Then, randomly hot glue the colorful rectangle fabric allover the top of the donut pillow. That’s it! you’ve got yourself a super cute pillow to hug with tonight!

Materials:
  • Fleece fabric in white, green and brown
  • Polyester fiberfil
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Large scrap paper (optional)
Instructions:
  1. First off, we’re gonna start with drawing the Frappucino cup shape onto the large scrap paper. You can either draw a trapezoid shape with free hand or using this measurement (top: 15.5 inches; bottom: 11 inches; left & right: 14.5 inches). Once you’ve sketched the outline of the trapezoid on the scrap paper, be sure to leave a 2-3 inches on each side before you cut them out.
  2. Fold the brown fabric over once, trace around the trapezoid cut out with a pen, and again, cut the shape out of fabric.
  3. Proceed to the whipped cream, free-handedly draw the shape of the whipped cream on a large scrap paper. Then, trace the drawing onto a fold over white fabric. Cut the shape out.
  4. Now, moving on to making the logo, find something circular and trace it onto a green fabric. Cut the circular shape out. After that, draw a heart shape out of a white fabric and cut it out as well. Use hot glue gun to glue the white heart fabric onto the green circular fabric. Tadah! That will be your logo of your Frappucino pillow.
  5. Once you’ve done making the logo, it’s time to make a green straw using pipe cleaners and a green fabric! Lay a piece of green fabric on the floor, gather a bunch of pipe cleaners at one end, then fold it and roll it over, just like how you’re rolling a sushi. Use hot glue gun to secure them in place.
  6. After done making the straw, stick the cup in between the whipped cream to create a perfect whipped Frappucino cup. Hot glue all the edges securely and leave a hole big enough to put your hand through. Then, flip the ensemble inside out.
  7. Hot glue the logo onto the cup.
  8. Stuff the pillow with polyester fiberfil. Once you’ve done stuffing the pillow, stick the straw inside the way you wanted it to be. Then, close the hole little by little, while adding more stuffing  inside. That’s is pretty much it!
