Super cute idea ! Thanks for sharing!
I make a variation that makes the cookie seem more realistic. I use thin bendable wire that I place in the middle of the felt circle. I cover it with a strip of felt to hide the wire. The cookie then is bendable and stays in shape.
Thanks for the tip, Darleen. May you have good fortune with all your craft projects! Sharon
I was trying to find something different to give my secret pal this year and bless your heart, I found it. These are the cutiest little things. Keep your crafting coming.
Tip! You can also use a pieces of matching pipe cleaner for bending the cookie. Is easier then putting the wire and they look very pretty
