Decorating Christmas cookies is one of my very favorite holiday activities, but the truth is, it can get pretty messy! On top of being messy, it can take some time to make the cookies, cool them, and get out the frosting and decorations to make your cookies look good. Plus, if you are trying to do this with small children, you can count on the mess being twice as big. That’s where these fun Felt Christmas Cookies come into play, literally! With this fun felt DIY Christmas play set, you can let them decorate cookies for Christmas all afternoon.

Felt Christmas Cookies Craft Tutorial

Materials Needed:

  • 2 sheets light brown felt
  • 1 each multi-colored felt pieces. I used white, red, green, light blue and yellow
  • Christmas cookies cutters
  • pencil
  • sharp scissors
  • puffy paint for Christmas tree ‘lights’ (optional but super cute)
Directions:
1. Choose what cookie cutters you want to use. Cutters that are simpler in shape may be easier to use for this craft.
2. Take one cookie cutter at a time and flip it over and trace the outside of the cookie cutter on the light brown felt. Cut out using scissors. Make sure your scissors are sharp as they will give you the best cut and shape.

3. After the base is cut, set aside and choose what coloring ‘frosting’ you want on top of each cookie base.
Trace the inside of the cookie cutter on the colored felt to make the ‘frosting’ and cut out using the scissors.

If you want these to be more permanent, use some plain white glue and allow to dry completely. They would make lovely ornaments with some holes cut in the tops of strung up on a garland.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
