Large Pad 

Starting with a magic circle,

Weave in all ends not needed for sewing, sew pads to base following picture. Stretch the large pad when sewing to give it more of an oval shape.

Now attach applique to your chosen item. Personally I think a pair of these would look cute on a hat or even an Easter basket.
