This is my Twilight Sparkle plushie. Its a normal one you can get at Target, Wal-Mart, Sears, etc. Since I didnt want to shell out like $200 for a good, fan-made plushie, I decided to buy this official merch and see if I could make it look better.
 
Glad to say this turned out pretty good! Its nothing professional or anything, but with some rubber cement glue and scissors, I was able to give Twilight a more true mane style using the hair strands that comes with the plushie (google to see how it looks).
 
I actually bought a Twilight plushie before this one, and tried using super glue. But the glue I bought came in a funky bottle and any mistakes was pretty much permanent. But with rubber cement, it leaves behind a sticky adhesive that holds tightly, but is pretty easy to peel apart any mistakes (which I had to do a few times to be satisfied with the final look). Also, since her mane contained way more strands of hair then I wanted, I cut off the extras and glued them to the tail so it would have a much more thicker look to it.
 
Final price:  
$10 for the plushie  
$4 for the rubber cement  
$0 for scissors (already had them)
