For the several weeks I’ve been slowly sewing up a felt salad of mixed greens and baby spinach to add to our play kitchen.
First I traced the leaves (pulled straight from our garden/fridge!), then I matched the colors of the leaves to felt and found embroidery thread to match the leaf veins. I cut out the templates, cut the felt, and sewed up the veins.
I made baby spinach leaves:
Mesclun salad mix:
Felt mushrooms to match:
I sewed two pieces of felt together where you see the brown ridges, then we felt glued the rest of the mushroom together.
She may not be that interested in eating a real mixed greens salad yet, but she’s playing with her felt salad every day.
I figure we’re one step closer to the enjoying real thing and, for now, I’ll take it!
the mushrooms are my fav!
Love it!! That salad is so cute!! Espec the mushrooms!
Love, Mom
I’m in awe of your craft projects. I don’t have that kind of patience!
Yummy!
I made felt food yesterday! Fun coincidence. :)
Oh my gosh, that is so awesome! I’d love to have you share them at my For the Kids Friday Link Party (still open). Nice work!
