DIY Mother’s Day Cheese Favors & Winner
May 3rd, 2010
Create a simple and tasty brunch tablescape for Mother’s Day with these little fabric wrapped cheeses as a starter. All you’ll need is some fabric, a scalloped rotary cutter, waxed linen twine and enough Mini Babybel Cheeses for everyone. Place in the center of each plate and you’ll have instant decor and a delicious appetizer to get the meal started. Serve with flat crackers, bread and apple slices.
These little favors could easily be used for a bridal shower lunch or even a casual afternoon wedding! Just find a coordinating fabric and you’ve got an easy and inexpensive favor that everyone will enjoy!
Materials
Fabric
8″ Circle Template
Scalloped Rotary Cutter or Pinking Shears
Waxed Linen Twine
Mini Cheeses
Instructions
Download the 8″ Circle Template and cut out along dotted line. Use the template as as a guide to cut out each of the fabric rounds and use a scalloped rotary cutter or pinking shears to create a decorative edge.
Remove the plastic wrapper from mini cheese wheels but keep the wax wrapper intact. Place two mini cheese wheels in the center of the fabric and gather fabric up and around cheese. Tie shut with a piece of string or waxed linen thread and finish off with a bow!

I love, love, love that this is a multi-layered presentation. The large cracker underneath the special little package is surely a designers touch! So sweet and charming. Thanks Kathleen!

Where did you get the fabric? I absolutely love it!

Hi Phobe! I found the fabric at a local sewing store in Seattle but it’s made by Windham Fabrics. Looks like they only sell to retailers but they do provide a store locator here. The fabric is called Sunbonnet Sue and comes in three adorable colors! The one I used is 29916-5. Hope that helps and good luck! Kathleen

These are GORGEOUS. I usually don’t get jazzed up by circle cheese but this presentation is sublime.
