Tutorial: Felt jam jar softies

from Katydiddys shows how to make a felt jam jar softie. How cute would these be sitting all in a row on a shelf in a toy kitchen? I’m loving how the diagonal stitching on the “jar” looks like cut glass! You could vary the color of the felt to make any number of canned items. Golden yellow felt for canned peaches, green felt for green beans, red felt for tomatoes. Get the tutorial.
