Beginner-friendly and oh-so-sweet, these Felt Bordeaux Figs are great for getting your feet wet (or, should we say, getting your fingers stitching!). With a little practice and the right tools, you can whip up hours of imaginative play for your little food connoisseur. If you need a crash course before you begin, refer to our handy embroidery guide to brush up on your skills.

Whether it’s their deep purple hue or rich, decadent flavor — figs are the perfect fruit for fall. In many cultures, figs represent abundance, prosperity, and fertility. For example, Ancient Greeks and Romans considered figs sacred. And in Ancient Egypt, figs were integral to everyday life, often depicted in art and hieroglyphs. Crafting these Felt Bordeaux Figs is a wonderful way to celebrate their history while bringing their unique beauty into your home.

We crafted our figs in autumnal Amethyst, Cranberry, Merlot, and White hues to bring a bit of seasonal charm to your playtime pantry. Whether you’re starting your felt food collection or adding to it, this project is ideal for a lavish make-believe spread for your kiddo. Let your little ones wow you with their yummy autumnal culinary masterpieces. Bon Appetit!

Once your felt figs are complete, why not display them as part of a fun, fall centerpiece or add them to a felt charcuterie board? Pair them with our felt pears, cheese, and crackers for a deliciously creative fall display. Whatever you do, don’t forget to share your finished Felt Bordeaux Figs with us in our crafters community or on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia.
