How To: Make a felt strawberry

Felt food is a great substitute for unsafe toys for children. A real life mom gives tips in this video on how to create great felt food that her children absolutely love playing with! The instructions are easy: Use wool or wool-blend felt instead of craft felt; it feels nicer. The first thing you need to do is cut out the felt patters provided on the website. You will need a red half circle, and a four pointed star. Seeds can be added by tying French knots using white thread. The next step is to fold the strawberry in half, so that you are forming a cone shape. Then sew up one side. Turn the felt inside out and place a little bit of stuffing inside and stitch the top closed. Now it's time for the green top. Simply stitch the green stem to the top of the strawberry.
