Have you seen the last few felt foods I've done?
I've grown extremely fond of my glue gun!
Sewing felt food will produce very pretty results - Google felt food and see all the yummy foods that pop up!
Some of it looks real enough to eat!
But I realize that most people are too busy to sit down and sew felt food - it can be very time consuming.
So lately, I've been doing it the easy way - the quickest way!
Hello hot glue!
I think the felt food that I've hot glued looks just as nice as felt food that's been sewn!
Whatcha' think?
Materials needed:
(makes 24)
12 2"x2" green felt squares
12 2"x2" yellow felt squares
6 cotton balls
glue gun & glue
pinking shears
Cut each cotton ball into 4 pieces - roll them around in your hand to form a ball.
Squeeze a square of hot glue on a piece of felt - make thin lines.
Place a cotton ball in the center.
Refer to the picture:
Place another piece of felt on top and run your fingertips over the glue until it has set.
Running your fingertips over the glue will help to form the "filling".
{Try putting a yellow and green square together - instead of the same color!}
Pink around the edges.
All done!
Easy!
You can see how I made the tin in the picture by going here.
But I want to make this adorable Ravioli container!
POST-IT-NOTE: In case y'all were wondering, I used eco-fi felt! You can get it at Wal-Mart for less than 35¢ a piece - and I used two pieces of 9"w x 12"l felt.
Total cost: Less than 75¢!
More felt foods I've made:
Pop-Tarts
Felt Bow-Tie Pasta
Felt Agnolotti Pasta
Felt Tortelloni Pasta and Tin
Felt Valentine's Day Fortune Cookies
Felt Eggplant Spinach & Tomato Lasagna
I hope y'all like this latest felt-food addition!

These look great, Angie! In some cases I think the hot glued ones look even more realistic since they don't have the seams showing...certainly the case the these raviolis! Thanks for linking.
