Even after crafting decor with me for a month- my sister-in-law Kristina and one of my best friends- in fact one of the best friends to ever exist, I’m convinced- SHE FOUND THE TIME TO MAKE THESE:
FELT FOOD. BY HAND. For her Nephew’s 1st birthday. I am kinda overwhelmed by this gift because A. She made this shit by HAND. B. It’s crafty as fuck. C. This gift is something I can save for Hudson to one day give to his own children with the story that his aunt made them for him for his very first birthday.
Here’s some close ups. Be prepared for amazement.
The shopping bags.
HAMBURGERRRRRR.
PB&J
Fruits.
Breakfast time.
Veggies.
Ravioli & some SAUCE.
Sweetest gift EVER.
She is gonna make a second set soon & post tutorials on her blog to teach other crafty types how to do it. So, check her out. She’s pretty freaking radical.

Well, she said she got the idea from an Etsy shop but that they were a bajillion times cheaper to make on your own. Win!

AGH! You’re comments are so sweet! Mandy, for creating that Harper, YOU are MY hero. Serious.
“i wish i had me some talent…or a kristina of my own!” Dang, that’s rad.
I hope to make more more more! It’s a lot of fun. I found a few tutorials on various sites. I’m working on writing up my own tutorials and posting them on my blog in the near future, as well as possibly sell some already made foods to peeps who do want to buy some.
