Free Felt Food Tutorials

Here is a site with a long list of FREE felt food tutorials. The categories are broken up into fruit and veggies, sweets, pasta, eggs, containers and others.

This site has some great U Tube videos on how to make felt food, and they also sell kits. I want to make the Green Eggs and Ham kit to go with our book. It would make a great display in our book nook.

Little Brown Bird has some free how to felting tutorials and tips, as well as free patterns.

Confessions of a Homeschooler blog also has some free felt food ideas, but the first one listed on this post is the best I have seen so far.

My daughter and I are looking forward to making some projects together!

No Sew Felt Food: Cinnamon Buns

If you have been wanting to make felt food for your kids, but short on time or sewing skills or both, here is an easy no-sew project:

Felt Cinnamon Buns

Felt Food @ IKEA

IKEA's 2011 catalog just came out. They have a whole new felt food toy line named DUNTIG.

The line includes sets of ~ vegetables, fruits, breakfast and dessert. The prices range from $4.99 to $7.99, which is a good price considering how many items are in each set. Making felt food does look fun, but if you do not think you will have time to make it before your kids grow up, this is a very affordable alternative.

On our trip to IKEA tonight I also saw many pet felt toys, like canned pet food, vet kit, food dishes, travel kit and clothes for stuffed "pets."

FYI~ If you do plan to go to IKEA, they have many buy one, get one food items through out the year. The new catalog has a calendar toward the back. This month is a buy one Caesar chicken salad and get one free, though they were all out when we went tonight. However, they still have one free kids meal (drink entree and side) until August 15th I believe. They have also added crepes to their menu ($2.99).

Felt Food

No, I don't know where I will get the time, but I feel a urge to get in touch with my crafting side and make something with my hands that can double as a form of therapy to calm my frazzled nerves. Confessions of a Homeschooler has posted in the past about felt food. She has a link to a site with free patterns and instructions at Lit'l Brown Bird's Passion. Follow the links to view exactly what felt food is and how you go about making it.

Like most of you, I have a very limited amount of "me" time. While that being a good thing, it might take me months to make anything. The point is to refresh myself in a sufficient proportion to the work God has for me, so I am going to go for it anyway and at least I can say I tried it :-) If I do actually finish a felt food project, I will post a picture, though it may take me a few months to get the picture uploaded to the blog ;-)
