Tea Party Behind The Scenes - Fabric

What's a tea party without real cloth napkins?

Or teabags, sugar cubes and lemon slices?



To toss into a giant teacup?


Or the sugar-laden treats?


Let it be said here that I've always liked felt food,
and I wish I had more time to indulge in the making
of it. When we decided we'd be doing a tea party
birthday this year - well, I indulged.


Quite the smorgasbord of calories, were they real.
Fortunately they were mere felt, fleece, beads and stuffing.


We hid them all over the yard,


gave each party guest a treasure map,


armed them with their handbags,


and sent them off to seek -


- one jam tart, one cookie, one cupcake,
one cinnamon roll and one donut.

These were their goodbye-and-thank-you-
for-coming gifts, and for their sweet friendship
to the little birthday girl.

P.S. No tutorials for these - you can find tutorials for felt food all over the internet. I adapted two tutorials for my felt treats - Rachael Rabbit's fabric cupcake and Skip To My Lou's famous doughnuts and winged everything else.
