Felt Cheese and Crackers
A while back, we had a member request that we make some felt cheese to go along with our felt artisan breads. Of course, we couldn’t stop at just cheese and decided to do a whole charcuterie plate! Designed by Krista, our pattern for this DIY craft includes four types of cheese as well as three different kinds of crackers and green olives.
This is a simple, beginner-friendly felt project that you can easily cut out with your detail scissors. Or you can always use your cutting machine and rotary blade with our SVG file.

Say Cheese, Please
Out felt cheese and cracker plate is such a fun addition to your kid’s felt food collection. If you’d like, you can also add some felt fruit or cookies and biscuits for a sweet treat. Another fun idea is to make a little felt basket for a picnic.

Back to the TopHow do you hide the knots/tails when doing the double running stitch on the plain crackers? Since they’re double-sided, I don’t understand where the knot would go when starting and ending the stitch.
These are just darling btw š
Krista is off getting married, so I will have to tell you what I would do here. Lol. Start your running stitch on the inside between the felt layers. That way, it will be hidden. When finishing, after the knot that is tight against the felt, run your needle back through that same area at an angle, sideways between the layers, then out the other side. You can then trim the thread against the felt, and it should be hidden. Does that help?
Really enjoyed making these, Iād love to see a salad set. You could have multiple leaf options, sliced mushrooms, sliced boiled eggs, and maybe some grilled chicken. My boy absolutely loves salad and keeps asking for a set for his kitchen.
Oh goodness! I love that. I am big salad fan myself and think it needs to be ON the list. š
Feltcuterie! Absolutely adorable.
Hahaha, we love it! Great pun.
Love this!!
It is a team favorite!
