Making Catnip Toy Popcorn

 

This picture shows the idea I followed when I made my catnip filled Popcorn for the PurrTosa store.  You take white felt, cut a wavy edged circle about 2 1/2 to 3" across, do a gather stitch around the edge about 1/4" up from the edge itself, add a little bit of stuffing wrapped around some catnip, stick a small piece of yellow or orange (or black for those not fully popped kernels) in, then pull the gather stitch tight. Take a few stitches to make sure it's locked in place, then go on to make the next one.

 

I was selling them first in bags of 10, but reduced it down to a bag of 6 or 7.  It takes a while to do a whole handful of these, and they're not very cost efficient, but they look nice.  I often look at images of 'felt food' online to see what's new.
