Strawberries!

I took a few photos during but missed a couple steps, but I can talk you through them.

I'm making felt food for my son's 2nd birthday. He's getting a whole play kitchen and I wanted to share the love.

Hope you like them!!!

You Will Need (8 things)

  • Scissors
  • Needle
  • A bit of Polyester Stuffing
  • Some Red Felt
  • Some green Felt
  • Green thread Embroidery Thread
  • Yellow or whatever chosen seed color Embroidery Thread
  • Embroidery Thread In Your Felt Color

Steps (6 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    First you need a circle. I chose to trace this vase I had that was about 5 1/2 inches diameter. You can absolutely make these smaller, but with my 7 month old eating everything I think larger is better right now for us.

  2. 2

    Here you can see I made two circles.

  3. 3

    Now Fold each circle in half and cut so you will make a total of four strawberries

  4. 4

    Then fold in half again and sew up one seam

  5. 5

    While folded stitch seeds and work in circles around the entire thing. (just make sure they are up and down rather than side to side)

    Then turn right side out seeds should look pretty cool. I make a gathering stitch, basically run needle through entire top so when you pull on thread the strawberry closes.

    Stuff, close strawberry by pulling on thread and then stitch in place.

  6. 6

    I guesstimated leaves by cutting a square that seemed to fit over strawberry well then free handed cut out leaves (doesn’t always work the best)

    Then attach securely to top.
