How to make a felt pizza toy for kids! Easy fun sewing project! mybrightideasblog.com

 

Kids love Pizza! Kids love to imitate their parents in the kitchen! Kids will love to play with this felt pizza.

This pizza toy/felt project can be made in 20 minutes with just scissors and felt or you can spend a few hours if you want to do a bit of hand sewing and add some stuffing.

You will need felt in the following colours:

  • 2 tan/light brown for the crust
  • 2 red for pizza sauce
  • 2 white/cream for mozzarella cheese
  • 1 dark red for pepperoni
  • 1 green for peppers
  • 1 grey for mushrooms
  • 1 pink for ham
  • 1 black for olives
  • 1 yellow for pineapple
  • 1 orange for extra cheese

You will also need:

  • bowls and plates to trace for big circles
  • sewing needle
  • embroidery floss (or thread)
  • quilt batting or stuffing

Let’s Get This Pizza Party Started!

 

Beige Piece of Felt – Pizza Crust: Trace a large bowl or plate for your crust. Cut 2.

 

 

Piece of Bright Red Felt – Pizza Sauce: Using a plate or bowl slightly smaller than the last one,  cut a slightly smaller circle than the crust pieces. Cut 2 red circles.

Cream or White Piece of Felt – Mozzerella Cheese: Cut the cheese…tee hee…out of a piece of white felt. Trace a slightly smaller plate or bowl than the piece of pizza sauce red felt. Cut 2 white circles.

 

 

Dark Red Piece of Felt – Pepperoni: Cut 12 circles tracing something small like a vitamin bottle.

 

 

Grey/Beige piece of Felt – Mushrooms: Draw a mushroom shape and cut it out. Cut 10 mushrooms.

 

 

Green Piece of Felt – Peppers – It looks like a wiggly square, then outline it again and cut it out. Cut 8 peppers.

The rest of the toppings are up to you….

Black Felt – Olives: Cut a small circle and trace it a second time. Cut 8 olives.

Orange and White Felt – Grated Cheese: Cut long rectangles for some shredded cheese on top. Cut 6 of each.

Pink Felt Squares – Ham: Cut into squares-10 pink ham squares will be enough.

Orange/Yellow – Pineapple: This begins a great debate about whether you should have pineapple on a pizza. I’m for it! Hawaiian Pizza is my favorite. If you feel the same cut 10 pineapple pieces.

 

 

You aren’t a sewer? Then you could stop now and you can use this as a toy as it is. If you want to make it more 3 dimensional, find colors of embroidery floss that will closely match the colors of the felt.

Finishing the Pizza with Hand Sewing

Finish the pizza crust: Cut a piece of cotton batting an inch larger than the pieces of beige felt. Sandwich the batting between the two pieces of beige felt.

 

 

Hand sew around the outside folding and tucking the excess inside the pieces of fabric. I think I used a whip stitch but you could also do a blanket stitch for this part.

 

 

Sew around again an inch inside the seam to create the edge of the crust. For this I used a running stitch.

 

 

Stack the 2 pieces of red and sew around the edge with a running stich.

 

 

Next, put the two white pieces of mozzarella cheese pieces together and sew around the edge. Stitch each of the toppings together.

 

 

When sewing the pepperoni I added a little stuffing. The rest… mushrooms, ham, green peppers, pineapple were all sewn together….the olives and shredded cheese pieces I left as a single layer but you could double it and sew them together.

That’s all there is to it!

Store your pizza pieces in a large ziplock bag so you don’t lose the pieces. Have fun making this project for a little one in your life.
