Felt Strawberries

Play food can be found all around our little cabin.  The littles have made many delicious dishes that they have served on a tray for mama.  Company can also be assured of a fine meal when visiting . We buy wood play food when we can but sometimes we just make our own, like these strawberries.  They are quick , easy and very inexpensive.  For about 12 cents a piece you can enjoy them too.

Step 1 ~ Make circles with red felt ( we used different mason jar tops for a variety of sizes).  Cut in half.

Step 2 ~ With green felt, free hand cut some  leaf tops.

Step 3 ~  Take red felt half circle and fold in half.  Sewing tightly on open flat side.

Step 4 ~ Turn inside out

Step 5 ~ Baste top edge

Step 6 ~ Stuff, gather top tightly and sew together.

Step 7 ~ Sew  leaf to top of strawberry

Step 8 ~ With yellow embroidery thread sew some seeds on your strawberry.

Wow, that's fantastic... reminds me of the sewing tomato with the little strawberry sharpener attached that my mother used to keep all her needles in! But I do like the bowl of them; perfect for the play kitchen!
