Play Food - How To Make Felt Cookies With Sprinkles
As a grandmother, I have been on a mission to make some cute play food for my daughters kitchen play set and came up with this easy craft project idea to make faux felt sugar cookies.
You will only need a handful of readily available craft supplies to make them. They work up pretty quickly and I was able to make 8 cookies in only one afternoon.
Supplies Needed:
White or Vanilla Colored Felt (for cookie)
Pastel Colored Felt (for icing)
Various Tiny Beads (seed beads and 2 MM round beads)
Sewing Needle and Threads
Scissors and Pinking Sheers
Pattern: 4" diameter circle and a 3" diameter circle cut from paper to use as your templates.
From felt, cut two 4" diameter circles. I like to use white or off-white (vanilla) colored felts for my cookie base. From pastel colored felt, cut a 3" diameter circle using pinking sheers to give it a zig-zag edge.
Using a sewing needle, hand sew tiny seed beads and/or 2 MM round beads onto your pastel colored felt. (the piece that you are using for your icing). Once completed, using matching colored thread (in my case I used light pink) hand sew the icing felt onto one of your cookie base felts.
Lay the top layer cookie felt onto your undecorated bottom cookie felt and whip stitch or blanket stitch the two pieces together. Once you get it sewn together, weave your thread ends into the felt so that they can't be seen.
Once you have made one cookie, you will want to make a couple of more...after all, every little girl needs a variety of cookies for her play set.
