Cooking Steps Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Clear a flat surface and gather all your materials. Make sure you have adequate lighting to see your work clearly.

  3. Create the Icing Layer: From one of your colored felt sheets, cut out a slightly smaller circle to represent the icing on the sugar cookie. Use a fun shape, like a wavy pattern, around the edges to mimic icing drips.
  4. Attach the Icing Layer: Use the hot glue gun to attach the colored felt icing onto the white felt cookie base. Make sure it is centered and press gently to secure it in place. Allow the glue to dry.

cherry pie felt craft

The Adorable Cherry Pie Felt Cookie is a delightful and imaginative felt craft project inspired by the classic dessert. This soft, tactile cookie mimics the look of a cherry pie, making it an engaging and fun decoration for the holiday season. With its bright red “filling” and golden crust, this felt cookie is perfect for sparking creativity in both kids and adults as they express their holiday spirit through crafting.

Ingredients Quantity
Tan felt 1 sheet
Red felt 1 sheet
White felt 1 sheet
Fabric scissors 1 pair
Hot glue gun 1
Black embroidery thread 1 spool
Needle 1
Craft lime green felt pieces (for leaves) Assorted

Cooking Steps Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Begin by clearing off a flat surface where you can work comfortably. Gather all your materials so they are within reach, allowing you to focus on creating your felt cookie without interruptions.
  2. Cut Out the Cookie Base: Using the tan felt, cut out a large circular shape to serve as the cookie base. A diameter of about 4-6 inches is ideal for creating a realistic pie look.
  3. Create the Pie Crust: From the tan felt, cut out a wavy-edged circle slightly smaller than your cookie base. This will represent the pie crust. You can use pinking shears for a more textured, crust-like edge.
  4. Cut the Cherry Filling: From the red felt, cut out small oval or circular shapes to represent the cherries and some larger irregular shapes for the filling. Aim for about 4-6 pieces to create a visually appealing filling.
  5. Attach the Filling: Use the hot glue gun to adhere the red felt cherry shapes onto the tan cookie base. Arrange them in a way that looks balanced, allowing some of the filling to hang over the edges of the crust slightly.
  6. Attach the Crust: Once the cherry pieces are securely glued down, place the crust piece over the filling to form the top of the pie. Use the hot glue gun to attach the crust to the cookie base, ensuring it is centered and securely in place.
  7. Embroider the Edges: Thread your needle with black embroidery thread and stitch a small border around the edge of the cookie and the crust. This will provide a decorative touch and make the felt pie look more complete.
  8. Add Leaves: Cut out leaf shapes from the lime green felt and glue them to one side of the pie to give it a decorative flair. You can use small stitches with your embroidery thread to attach the leaves if you prefer a more secure hold.
  9. Final Touches: Make any adjustments and add more details if desired, like additional felt shapes for more decorations. Allow all glued pieces to dry completely before displaying your Adorable Cherry Pie Felt Cookie as part of your holiday décor!

Brown sugar ½ cup
Egg 1 large
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Powdered sugar (for frosting) 2 cups
Milk (for frosting) 2-3 tablespoons
Food coloring Various colors

Cooking Steps Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to make sure it’s hot and ready for baking.

  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.

festive felt cookie crafting

Peppermint Swirl Felt Cookie:

The Peppermint Swirl Felt Cookie is a delightful craft idea for the holidays, perfect for bringing a touch of festive cheer into your home. Made from colorful felt and other crafting materials, these cookies are not only visually appealing but also provide a fun activity for both kids and adults. They can be used as decorations, ornaments, or even as gifts to spread holiday joy.

Ingredients Quantity
Red felt 1 sheet
White felt 1 sheet
Green felt 1 sheet
Fabric scissors 1 pair
Fabric glue or hot glue gun As needed
Cotton balls 1 small bag
Ribbon (for hanging) Optional
Embellishments (e.g., buttons, sequins) Optional

Crafting Steps Instructions:

  1. Cut the Felt: Start by cutting out circular shapes from the red and white felt. Aim for about 4 inches in diameter for each cookie. You can also create smaller circles for the peppermint swirls to layer on top.
  2. Create the Swirl: For the white felt, cut a long, thin strip approximately 1 inch wide. The length should be enough to make a swirl around the red circle. Start from the center of the red circle and spiral the white strip outward, gluing it in place as you go, to create a peppermint swirl effect.
  3. Add Texture: For an extra touch of fluffiness, use cotton balls to create a “frosting” effect on top of the swirl. Pull apart a few cotton balls and glue them to the edges of the white felt to mimic whipped cream.
  4. Embellish (Optional): If you’d like to add some sparkle, glue on some embellishments, such as small buttons or sequins, around the outer edge of the felt cookie to give it a festive appearance.
  5. Attach Ribbon (Optional): If you want to hang your felt cookies, cut a small piece of ribbon and glue it securely to the back of the cookie. Make sure the glue is set before attempting to hang.
  6. Let it Dry: Allow all glued materials to dry completely. This may take a couple of hours, depending on the type of glue used.
  7. Display: Once dry, your Peppermint Swirl Felt Cookies are ready to be displayed! Hang them on the tree, adorn your holiday table, or gift them to friends as a charming and homemade touch to their holiday decorations.

Enjoy your crafting time and embrace the joyful spirit of the holiday season with these sweet felt creations!
