Build a Sundae felt play food embroidery design- Creative medley

The other day I was looking for a quick present for a 4yr old. I suddenly remembered that she had a felt board on one of her easels and wanted to make something to go with it. With help from miss 5 we decided on this fun and creative felt ice cream set. 

Created and developed by: Creative Medley (BUY HERE)

Cost:  $4.99 (US)

Embroidered on: Husqvarna Topaz 20

Size Available: 4x4 Hoop
                       5x7 Hoop

Instructions: Yes (written steps for each component!)

Skill level: Beginner to advanced.

Time taken: 30 min after fabric cut out( I made a cone and three "flavors")

Stabilizer used: I used medium weight tear away. 

 

 

Upon opening up the instructions each component is divided into its own separate instructions. For $4.99 (US) you get designs for an ice cream scoop, plain topping, topping with sprinkles, cherry, cone and bowl. I wanted to make a cone and three flavors so used different color felt for each one.To get the chocolate look I did use fabric on top of the scoop bonding it with heat and bond lite. Each design is finished with a second layer of felt underneath. A tip that I read on an embroidery forum was to use the stiff felt that they use for handbags. This makes them a bit stiffer and easier for little hands.I loved that you can make many variants and colors and the birthday girl loved it!!
