I can't say that I'm a professional crafter but I do like to craft. I, of course, am addicted to pinterest so I am always looking for ideas, especially ones that I can adapt to work for me, on a cheaper budget. I am currently working on a DIY kitchen for my daughter, so far, not using any money, just what I can find around the house. So I wanted to make some food and have seen some adorable DIY felt food. I thought, I can make that. And I did! It was SO easy!!!
I ended up with two eggs, one piece of bacon, two pancakes (with syrup and butter), a banana, orange, apple, and pieces of a sandwich, including meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, & pickles.
The whole project took just over an hour, including cutting.
Items you will need:
Felt, in variety of colors
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Stuffing
I didn't use any patterns, I just free formed. I didn't make them exact circles, or what not, on purpose. I don't know about you but my food is never in a perfect shape so it makes sense not to have the same for the play food.
I wanted them to be plump so I chose to use the stuffing, but they would be just fine flat also.
Just cut your shapes, then hot glue most of the two pieces together, stuff, and then close it off with more hot glue. And there you have it! I am hoping to make more food but this is a good start!
