Felt Dessert - Key Lime Pie

My kids are so excited to finally have food to sell in their 'store'. For Christmas, I made them a 'pretend dessert store'. I have been playing around with felt fabric and I am amazed at what one can do with it. We have made pie, cupcakes, donuts, macaroons, cake, cookies, sandwiches and I am in the process of making puppets; so exciting! It's fun to watch my kids role play as cashiers, store keepers, customers etc. The store only cost me less than $10 to make and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that my kids are LOVING it.

 These red plates are part of the store.

Here is a tutorial on how I made the KEY LIME PIE. I will post the cupcake, donut, cookies and other desserts in the next coming days.

You will need:

Neon green felt// Brown felt (sandstone)// Fiberfill// Stiff Pellon// box. I got everything from Joanns and I had some stuff already

Attach the felt strip to the triangle (top of the pie)

I used a regular pair of scissors to cut ridges on the edge of the 'crust' felt. Then I attached the green felt to the crust as shown above

Fold your pellon strip in the middle, then stick it into the pie. I added pellon just to help maintain the shape of the pie once I added the stuffing

Then I added the box cut out inside the pie at the base; in order to stabilize the bottom of the finished pie. Add stuffing and then sew the edges together as illustrated in the picture

 Your finished piece of pie should look like this. Then attach the frosting on top, voila! you are done.
