How-To: Play with Your Food

Young people (of all ages) know food is fun. But before you turn your perfectly edible parfait into pulp, why not whip up a faux version in felt that looks good enough to eat?

 

Create your very own Blackcurrant Mousse, like the one shown here, or share one as a gift with someone you find sweet. You can start out with one, then build your way to a whole plate of petit fours to enjoy with friends ... Now that's what I call having your cake and eating it too!

Get the complete project instructions on PDF right here, they're free to downoad! Yum!

 

 

Some of the projects may not be appropriate for babies that really do want to nom nom nom.

 

Many thanks to Kodansha America for sharing this treat of a project, from My Favorite Felt Sweets.

I'm a felter, but have yet to try felt food. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

just this past week I've started getting interested in making my daughter some felt food for her birthday so this is perfect timing, there are many talented felters making fake food - love it!

Dec. 10, 2008 at 4:15 a.m. kirevi8

so creative,so lovely....

Dec. 13, 2008 at 10:55 p.m. OrangeHearts

I love crafts that look like food! I'm a little bummed that they didn't feature any faux food jewelry. TheClayCollection, and everythingsblue have really cute peices, although theirs are made of polymer clay, and sometimes resin. You should search them, if you have the chance. If I could buy things I'd so be there. (I'm under 18 and i'm not allowed to buy stuff, only sell it. I know, it sucks!)

Dec. 26, 2008 at 2:50 a.m. ILuvUTutuMuch

My daughter would love this:]]
