Though they may seem like a challenge, these Felt Cantaloupe and Honeydew Melon slices are remarkably easy. Additionally, they’re an excellent introduction to 3-D construction for beginners and little makers, too. This project relies on both the blanket and straight stitch to come together, with a bit of fancy hand-embroidered detailing to create the classic look of a cantaloupe rind. We recommend using a printable stabilizer, such as Sulky Fabri-Solvy, to help achieve those crisp, geometric lines just right. However, be sure to follow the product instructions carefully for optimal results.

I almost always associate cantaloupe and honeydew with bright, sunny mornings and slow, relaxing brunches. These Felt Cantaloup and Honeydew Slices are perfect for creating a fun make-believe breakfast platter. Pair them with our Felt Waffles or Bacon, Eggs, and Pancakes for a full breakfast-in-bed spread! We love the bright, energizing colors of this project, as well as its fun textures, making it a perfect sensory toy for your littles and a great way to support imaginative play for your bigger littles. 

So if you're craving a project that feels fresh and playful, grab your felt and get stitching. And as always, we’d love to see what you make—be sure to share your finished Felt Cantaloupe and Honeydew Melon slices with us using #MadeWithLia! Also, don’t forget to upload your project pics into our crafters’ community so we can celebrate you, together. Happy Crafting!
