Valentines - Felt Sugar Cookies

This was Sister's gift for Valentine's Day from Mommy. I found this great idea awhile ago, but unfortunately, the original post was no longer available to the public, so I decided to recreate as best I could and make my own tutorial to share with anyone who is interested. Sister loves her set and is often offering cookies to us and putting the pan "in the oven" to bake the cookies. This was a great addition to her felt food stash.


 TUTORIAL:
Items Needed:
Cream colored felt
Tan colored felt
Pink felt
Embroidery thread to match felt colors
Heart-shaped cookie cutters
Fabric pencil
Needle
Scissors







I located an old cookie sheet that I no longer use (I am all about recycling) and cute out two layers of cream colored felt a little smaller than the size of the cookie sheet (this is the dough). I then cut out the cookie dough with cookie cutters I had on hand so I just used the outside edge instead of the beveled edge. Again, this should be done in two layers.
I then traced and cut out two layers for each "baked" cookie from the tan felt.


I did not get a picture of the pink being cut out, but just follow the same step as above with
a smaller cookie cutter for the pink frosting to be stitched on top of the "baked" cookies.

The next step was pinning all my pieces together so I could hand stitch around the edges to give a nice finished edge. I also put polyfill in the "baked" cookies to give them a more realistic look.

So, this is the finished set. Sister already had a rolling pin so I didn't worry about picking up a new one (again, love to recycle and use what we already have on hand).
