Here's the original picture:
I'm not crazy that the orange slices are flat, I'd really like more 3D type items but they are still cute and easy so I thought I'd try them. Here are my attempts:
So I pretty much followed the tutorials exactly for these. The only change I made was to blanket stitch the eggs because I'm not very good at sewing curved lines on the sewing machine but I think they still turned out pretty cute :-)
Next is the cinnamon roll, also pretty easy. Here's the original picture:
And here is mine:
So I thought it was pretty simple so I started it while the tutorial was still loading. I cut 2 strips about and inch and a half(one tan and one dk brown) and started rolling them. Then when I looked at the site I saw that you are supposed to cut a strip of each color in 2 and 1/2 inches and then fold them in half. I think this explains why mine looks kinda skinny. So an easy fix. What I like about this piece of felt food is that it looks really easy to customize to your desires. I could easily make it fatter by stacking more strips to roll or by adding more strips onto the end to roll it more. Or I could even made the strips wider to make a taller roll. Either way I super love this piece. :-)
