Description
I finally finished it!
While I was still making my Vanellope cosplay, many people who I chatted about it with asked me "what the heck are you going to do for the hair candy?" That made me think that a tutorial for the candy wouldn't go un-welcomed. Plus making tutorials is really fun (though extremely labour-intensive OTL), and it's been over a year since I made my last one, so off to Photoshop it was!
I had a lot of fun making this tutorial, and I'm hoping this will be able to help out all those aspiring Vanny cosplayers out there!
I actually started making this quite a while before I finished my cosplay, but then I abandoned it for a bit, only finishing it off recently, since making tutorials is a lot of work, so you have to work on it in strides. I'm hoping to do a lot more tutorials this year, so we'll see what happens. 
Guidelines for using my tutorials: 
Kindly give credit where it is due; if you use this tutorial for your own projects, please credit me by either linking back to this deviation page, or to my dA account. Favourites are always appreciated; if you use this, I do appreciate support! Feedback is always helpful; I haven't been making tutorials for very long, so if there's anything here that you liked, or any instructions that could have been clearer, please do let me know so that I can continue to improve and help my fellow cosplayers! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! 
I do take tutorial requests! If there's anything you've seen me make that you would like me to make a tutorial for, please do drop me a comment! I can't guarantee that I'll get to everyone's requests, since making tutorials is a lot of work, but I will certainly make tutorials on whatever I can in order to help however I can! Thank you!

What happens if you're not wearing a wig, there are some horrible cheap synthetic wigs out there so I'd rather use my own hair, is it possible to do candy hair with your own hair.

Your tutorial is superb!
I was wondering can you do a tutorial on Vanellope's socks? Or maybe you have already done it?Β

π: 0 β©: 1
No problem, I'm glad you find it helpful!
As for the ponytail, the answer should be in the FAQ I made ([link] ), but if that doesn't answer your question, do let me know.

Eeeh, this is great! Thank you so much for this great tutorial, I'll definitely make a ton of these beauties. uwu
One question, which wire gauge size do you recommend? ;w;
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you, I'm glad you find it helpful! ^.^
Sorry for replying so late; the ones I made weren't that big at all, only about 0.3cm x 0.3cm. They really only need to be big enough to fit onto the pins, while still being as small as possible in order to avoid flopping around too much.

Okay, thanks a lot! You rock! <3

I have a question did you wear anything underneath the hoodie? And if yes what colour of shirt did you go with?
π: 0 β©: 1
I always wear a camisole underneath; either gray or white, I just alternate.

I would like to know how you made the big V in her hair if you don't mind telling. C:
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure thing! I sewed it out of pink taffeta the same way one would sew a plushie. I made two separate stuffed parts (one for each stick of the 'V'). To add the Twizzler effect, I covered a pipecleaner in the taffeta and then wrapped it around both parts of the 'V' and tacked it down. The whole thing is kept on with a hairpin attached to the back. Do let me know if I can clarify anything.
