You will need to iron the heat and bond to the back of your felt according to the package directions. I found that after some trial and error, it was better to leave the white backing on the heat and bond when cutting then remove it after the pieces were complete. So just add the felt with the heat and bond to the strong grip mat.

Load Cricut Design Space onto your computer. Be sure to set your machine to a custom material and pick felt with backing from the drop down menu. You will want to add the deep cut blade to your Cricut machine.

Cut each color with your Cricut to get all of your shapes.

After each cut, remove the excess felt.

Then remove the shapes. You can now peel off the paper liner from the back of the felt.

You will be left with a ton of shapes to start making your own felt food. NOTE: Sometimes I had to trim some on the edges with scissors.

I actually hand stitched the food with embroidery floss. I tried machine stitching at first and it just did not work for me. I am going to start with the bread. I used a long skinny piece of felt in addition to my bread pieces. I stitched the darker piece around the edges first.

I then added in a bit of stuffing and stitched on the top bread piece.

The bologna, cheese, and lettuce just gets the two halves stitched together around the edges with no stuffing. You will want some seeds on your tomato first so add those with a permanent marker. Then stitch the two halves together with no stuffing.

I also made some cookies. Just use permanent marker on the icing to create sprinkles. Then stitch the icing to the top of the cookie. Add in just a little bit of stuffing before adding the other cookie half. You now have made felt food for a fun gift for any child in your family!
