Light up the BBQ and get these burgers on the grill… oh wait– scratch that! Though these burgers look good enough to eat, we promise your kids will enjoy playing with this more! In this easy sewing tutorial, we’ll show you how to make this DIY felt play food. We’ve included a burger with all the fixings and a plate of chips – the quintessential BBQ food.
We’ve even added free felt food patterns! So without further adieu, let’s learn how to make this delicious-looking plate!
Before tying off, cinch the thread slightly, so the fabric puckers to form a puffy “mushroom top.” (This will be a basting stitch and will be removed later, so make your stitches wide.)
Fill the bun with an inch of stuffing before completion. Then remove the basting stitch.
When you’re finished with the circle, sew the rectangle to the top of the bun. Fill the bun with an inch of stuffing before completion.
Using a permanent marker, draw “grill lines” on the burger.

Next, tightly roll up the strip lengthwise.
Fold the rolled strip accordion-style and position clips to hold the creases closed.
Remove the clips when the glue is dry to reveal a crinkle-cut chip.
And that’s it! With this DIY felt play food, your kids are ready to grill alongside you!
