- Felt Food 101 - Lessons For Beginners
- Technically you can actually make soft play food from anything. But take heed most fabrics don't hold up to the wear and tear a child can give to a well loved toy and if you're not fond of surging EVERY seam to avoid a catastrophe you'll need something that doesn't unravel easily. This is why felt is the obvious choice.
- Felt Food 101 - Lesson 1 - Introduction
- Your time is worth something whether you spend a few days or even a half an hour you'll want to know that your artistic creation will last a long long time, and you 'll be surprised how little felt it takes to make felt food.
- Felt Food 101 - Lesson 2 - Thread
- For making felt food just about any thread will do, if you're going to make heirloom quality felt food, stand the test of time, your great granddaughter will be playing with it, felt food you're going to need sturdy thread. I highly recommend a cotton or polyester thread, keeping in mind that polyester threads have a bit of a sheen to them and often distract from the piece a little, although there are cotton coated polyester threads.
- Felt Food 101 - Lesson 3 - Needles
- There are a ton of different needles out there so I just thought I would take a minute to cover the bases. The first and most important thing to note about needles is that they are all sized in the same manner. The smaller the number the longer and thicker the needle.
- Felt Food 101 - Lesson 4 - Putting It All Together
- There are many ways to connect to pieces of felt, each has it's advantages and disadvantages. Here I will discuss machine and hand stitching, stitches to use and gluing, you can also needle felt, felt food but I will touch on needle felting in another post.
- Felt food 101 - Lesson 5 - Stuff it!
- If you just doing some bare bones construction all you will need is stuffing any kind from any place, I have even been known to head to tag sales for stuffed animals to butcher for this exact purpose, the bonus to this is that your saving a huge, and generally ugly stuffed animal from rotting in a landfill, this is especially important because fiberfill is a plastic.
