My niece got a fun kitchen from Cosco for her birthday this year. They have a little bit of play food, but I thought it would be fun to make some more as a sort of Easter gift for them.
So I went on to Pinterest and found some great ideas and awesome tutorials. My first project - a sandwich. I found a great tutorial and pattern here. There are also a ton more patterns that can be found on Pinterest, another good resource for the patterns are found here. http://joeandkristenolsen.com/journal/2010/05/23/felt-food-patterns-tutorials-links-most-are-free#
Here is my progress... I will keep updating as I make more. I also used the Sizzix big kick and the different circle dies to cut out the felt circles, it works really well. Egg centres, cookies, lunch meat, tomatoes and more.
- These were cut using my sizzix and the circle big dies. Perfect circles everytime (unless I cut some off)
- Just cut out little pieces of dark brown felt and you have your chocolate chunks. Sew these on before you sew the back on. I also included padding in the middle to give the cookie more substance.
- These are the materials I used for the cookies.
- These are the finished cookies, they are not perfect, my first try, hopefully they will get better. I think next time I will use a blanket stitch with a matching colour on the outside
- I made this using the tutorials above. I made my own imagination for the cheese and lettuce and still have to make the tomatoes and lunch meat.
- These are my favourite and the easiest to make, just cut out the shapes, and sew on the yolk. I put a little padding behind the yolk to give it some dimension
More to come soon....
