I don't know what it is but I love felt food. Today on the menu is a very unhealthy sack lunch!
I have provided the instructions here in this post. You can make the shapes up as you go along or if you want to make it really easy you can download the templates for the food for $1.75 or place my button (code in the left sidebar) on your blog and you may download the templates for free. E-mail me that you have placed the button (or already have the button) and I will e-mail you the templates.
Leave a comment on this post by the 15th of March and three lucky readers will win a set of wool felt from Wool Felt Central and the templates to compete the brown bag lunch (vinyl not included).
For all you felt lovers all felt is 20% off at Wool Felt Central through March 15th.
The Brown Paper Bag
You need two pieces of light brown felt. Cut a square out of the bottom corner on each side. With pinking shears trim across the top. Trim just enough to pink the top. Sew across the bottom and along each side.
Pinch the side and bottom together and sew.
Finished!
The Chip Bag and Chips
Cut two pieces of felt. Embellish the front with stripe and medallion. I meant to embroider "chips" in the white circle. You could also write chips with a paint marker.
Place right sides together and stitch along each side. Turn right side out and then stitch across the bottom. I used a blanket stitch along with a couple rows of stitching.
Cut chips out of yellow felt. Stitch together close to the edge. You can add rows of stitching to make them 'ruffled' chips if you like.
The Ho Ho
Cut 2 pieces if dark brown felt and two pieces of white felt.
Place the pieces together and sew around the outside edge, leaving an opening for turning on the short side.
Turn right side out. Top stitch around the edge on the white piece only. Don't worry about closing the openings--they will be in the center. Place the white piece on top of the dark brown (bottom edges lined up) and roll up.
Slip stitch the roll closed along the outside edge.
The Sandwich
Cut two pieces of off - white fabric and a strip of light brown felt about. You might need to attach two pieces together.
Sew the strip to one side of the white square overlapping the ends.
Sew the white square to the other side leaving an opening for turning.
Turn right side out. Stuff with polyester fiberfill and slip stitch opening closed.
Make ingredients for your sandwich by sewing two of each color together. You can sew around the edge leaving an opening for turning, turn and topstitch or just sew the pieces together (this is how I made them except for the bologna which I turned). Add details with your machine.
Every sack lunch sandwich needs a baggie.
The Baggie
Using medium weight vinyl (this is really thin) fold top down and bottom up (bottom edge lays on top of the top edge. Sew along each side.
Pinch corners and sew across 1 inch from edge.
Do this for all four corners.
Trim off corners.
Turn right side out and slip in the sandwich.
Bon Appetit!
Still hungry try some doughnuts!

I love this. I’ve been wanting to start making a bunch of felt food.
This is so cute, I can’t wait to make it for my daughter!
These are so cute! I have recently discovered an obsession for felt food. I made strawberries and cupcakes for my son’s birthday. The best part is he loves them – all the encouragement I need to go felt food crazy! Thanks so much for sharing how you did everything. I find too many people don’t want to share how they make their felt food.
Love it! It is great to see how dramatic play learning doesn’t have to break the bank and the quality can be better than store bought! I can’t wait to try now if I can only find the time… Melissa
Oh, I can’t stand it these are sooooo cute! I am posting your button right now!
This is so cute. I would love to win this.
You are so stinkin’ creative. Every time I see what you create it makes me jealous
I’m with you on the felt food obssession! My kids keep asking me for more felt food (they’re especially keen on fruit and vegies for some reason), and I keep obliging so it’s great to get more ideas from others. Thanks.
This is adorable! I’m so inspired to try making these…
These are adorable and I want to try making for my daughter’s birthday. I’ve never worked with wool felt before, just the cheap craft stuff. I’ve heard that wool felt shrinks – so do you wash it first or just use it as it comes? Can you wash the finished product if it gets dirty (hot water, cold water?) or will that wreck it? Appreciate your wisdom if you can help me with these questions! Thank you…
Super cute….my girls would eat this up! Thanks for sharing…
SO Cute!! I’ve had your button on my blog for along tim,e I love seeing what you come up with!! And you have such simple instructions, and GREAT pictures. There’s no way I can make a mistake. Can you email me the templates? I can’t wait to make these! Thanks!~!
This is so adorably cute! I remember how much my younger sister loved playing with fake food as a child. I’ll certainly keep this in mind next time I’m searching for a gift for a youngster.

I absolutely LOVE this! There is something about felt food items that is just amazing to me. They were may favorite things to play with as a kid. If I had my own children, I’d make these up in a heartbeat. Who said toys need to be loud and plastic to be fun!? (I put a post about this on my own blog, hope that’s ok.) Keep the greatness coming!
