Only a few more days until we get to “officially” celebrate the birth of Christ, but why wait? I love to pray over the people I’ll be gifting to, and, of course, for those I know and love who need a prayer. Ready for the last week of Handmade Holidays #4? Let’s go! (You can find the links to the previous 3 weeks below)
Next to wood, my favorite sewing/stitching/crafting medium is felt, particularly wool felt. It’s so scrumptiously soft and is very forgiving. My focus is mainly for children today (why not, I have 6 of them), with some simple ideas for the young at heart.
BAKE IT
Need a cake to celebrate Christ’s birth? How about a felt one?!
GARDEN
GO SHOPPING
Seriously, I thrifted most of the cups and plasticware. The stand is made of cardboard covered in thrifted sheets, so outside of purchasing some wool felt off of Etsy, along with the synthetic felt – the cost was so minimal. All you need is a hot-glue gun and a utility knife.
Larissa, I just found this post today and it made my day! What a treat to see your little girl enjoying her slice of felt cake. It brought back so many memories of when my kids were little(r) and adored their homemade play food. Such happy years. It was so much fun seeing all the felt and wooden food items you made from my tutorials. And the greengrocer stand! Yeah, cardboard! Thank you for the lovely trip down memory lane, and the shoutout!
How fun is that?! I have admired your work for ages and your sense of humor. I read your blog before I started mine and you inspired me to give it a try. What a whirlwind I’ve been on since then! Thank you for your inspiration and support. Yes, these days fly by and I miss my free days with time to create for my littles. Thank you so much. 🙂
I can’t tell how the peas and strawberries stick to the plants. Is it velcro on the plant?
Yes, velcro. Makes it fun!
