Homemade Christmas: Felt Food Cookie Jar

My sweet little niece is getting her

first play kitchen this Christmas. 

Aunt MaryLea is hooking her up with some

homemade felt food. 

I found this cute little plastic jar at the Dollar Tree

and thought it would make a perfect little cookie jar.

I made little felt cookies

to go inside her jar.

Perfect for little tea parties

and very low calorie!

I traced little felt circles and stitched them

together by hand with some embroidery thread

and a bit of fluff, stuffing inside.

For the OREO cookies I just stacked up three white felt

circles inside two chocolate brown circles and stitched 

through all of the layers with dark brown floss.

I'm also making some fruit (strawberries and watermelon)

and veggies (peas, tomatoes, broccoli).

We'll see what else I come up with before Christmas,

it has been a fun little sewing project during evening

TV time....of course I'm making doubles of everything

because my own girls ask for everything 

they see me making for their cousin! 

Happy Homemade Gift-Making!

Fondly,

pink and green mama,
