I’ve been dying to try my hand at felt biscuits ever since I saw them on the cover of Mollie Makes, which were designed by Ouissi Gresty. The patterns were quite simple so I bought a copy of her book ‘Felt biscuits’ but I found it a bit disappointing. It’s a small book and only covers patterns for five biscuits (pink wafer, bourbon, shortcake, custard creams and a jam sandwich) but does include a pattern for a biscuit tray and tin. Personally I would have liked more biscuit patterns (garibaldi, rich tea, chocolate digestive, etc) or the patterns which featured in Mollie Makes, rather than the biscuit tray. The book is nicely illustrated but the page numbers don’t match with the instructions and it just feels like it’s been written in a hurry.
However, I love my felt biscuits which totally confused Edward when I put them on a plate to photograph! They’re also a lovely simple project which don’t need much concentration if you fancy making some whilst catching up on Sunday night tv.
Linking up with craft schooling sunday, handmade monday and wow me wednesday
Shame about the book but the biscuits are just fab! I *love* the bourbon one!!
Welcome to Handmade Monday x
I love the pink wafers… am so sorry that the book was a disappointment. Have you tried looking at your local council library reservations, I have found some fabulous books on the Essex library system and for us it is free 🙂
oh yummy! how clever! these would be the only biscuits that would not disappear in my presence! too cute to eat! 🙂
Your post did make me laugh though, I could hear the desperation in your voice or maybe it echoes mine when I open the cupboard at 3pm. Sorry about the book, but be pleased with the great ones you have made!
They look so real – well done -shame about the book.
The biscuits are great fun, I love the pink wafer one, by coincidence I bought a packet today, although mine are full of calories.

I’m still really fascinated with felting, but have yet to try it. Those are so pretty. Every time I read about it I’m more and more inclined to try it. I suppose I will have to get off the computer, stop reading about it and actually do it tho. 🙂
These may be the cutest things ever! I love them. Would love to fill my biscuit tin with them and confuse my husband! Anna x
The biscuits look great! Like the real thing – esp the bourbon! Mich x
