Felt Cookies for Christmas

This year, I really wanted to try to figure out some handmade gifts to give to our children for Christmas.  Oh sure, there are still going to be things like Wii games and iPods, but I also wanted to give them each something handmade.

I have to admit, I’m still not sure if I can come up with something to give the boys.  But, I was thrilled to start working on a gift for Molly the other day.  For quite a while, I had admired felt food.  I kept thinking, “Surely I can do that, right?”  But, still, I put it off.

Finally, I used this guide on how to make a blanket stitch, along with help from my Mom to start off.  She joined in and made a few cookies.  Mom also had a sweet Raggedy Ann and Andy heart shaped box to hold our sweet creations:

I’ll still make some more cookies for the gift.  I plan to make her a dozen cookies total.  I was originally going to make a variety of foods, but decided to just stick with a greater quantity of cookies instead.

This was such a fun project, and I really hope that she likes them as much as I do!  It makes me giggle every time I open the box (which I have hidden until Christmas).  This was a very easy and frugal gift — I just hope that it brings her the same joy that it is already bringing me.

Now…if I can just figure out something handmade for the boys, I’ll be set.

    I've been wanting to make them too. I bought all the materials this summer but never got around to it. Now I think I'll try it with the guide that you recommended. The ones you made look really good!!!

    How sweet – the cookies are adorable! If your boys are getting an electronic-type gift, perhaps you could stitch up some kind of cover? I know my boys like to have covers for their i-Pods and DS machines.

    I love these cookies. How fun!!

    You know what else I saw that was cute for a play kitchen that you can make easily? A sack of flour, sewn in old feed sack material. It was super sweet.

    I love sewing felt foods! I have a few on my blog that I've posted/am going to post. For the boys, maybe make a game like a beanbag toss board with a favorite character or sports team's colors or logo painted on it. I know kids of all ages love to play this at tailgates and backyard bbqs…Although that would certainly be harder to hide than cookies!

    I like the stitching for sprinkles. I used small beads, and they've all fallen off!
