Sewing Tutorial: Felt candy dish

I've seen larger versions of these fabric dishes and decided to give it a try on a smaller scale. This box measures about 5 inches in length. You could make these in any size, really. This might make a nice alternative to the traditional Easter basket. Simple directions below.

Supplies:
Felt - I got the polka dot felt at Daiso.
Scissors
Embroidery thread
sewing needle

Cut out a felt square(7 by 7), any size will work. With the print size up mark the center of each side with a fabric pen or by ironing a crease. I folded the square in half both ways and ironed the fold.

Pinch the fabric together where you marked one of the sides. Using a whip stitch, sew up the side one inch in length. If you started with a larger square you might want to vary the length to two inches. It just depends on how deep you want the dish to be.

Here's what it should look like once one side is sewn.

Here's a close up of the above picture. Now sew the other three sides the exact same way.

Your felt dish should now look something like this. Enjoy!

Of course, I had to buy some candy props for the pictures.
Purely for aesthetics ;-)
