• Bucilla-Stocking Felt Applique Kit
  • 18" Long -Ornamental Deer Stag
  • Manufactured in United States

Very cute sock; one of the easier ones to put together; the supplies are better quality too. Only thing was one of the needles, the beading needle, broke while I was using it. That is the 2nd needle that I have had break on me from one of these kits.

Just what I was looking for! A project that was of medium intensity and took some time and created great results !

Enjoyable to work, and not too difficult. I made some modifications. For this purpose, and to hide the markings for where embroidery should be worked, you may want to work on the reverse side of the felt pieces.

I love the finished product but getting there wasn't the easiest. This is the first felt stocking I've done in decades so I was rusty. I had to rely on the instructions alone till some memory started coming back of what I did before. That's the main problem with the kit...the instructions. They are printed on a large sheet of paper (19" x 25") on both sides, sections put where ever they fit so you'll end up refolding a lot. The instructions are sparse, they don't give tips or do hand-holding, it's easy to miss something or misunderstand. Kits I did previously were much more informative than this and remembering bits of earlier instructions helped here. The main omission with this kit is not telling you to baste down larger (especially) felt pieces before you applique. That will save hours/days of frustration, especially for the horns. (pinning doesn't work well with thick layers of felt) You will need to refer to the photo that comes with the stocking a lot, and at times you'll need to puzzle things out. You get plenty of floss, beads, and sequins, but polyfill and a large embroidery needle aren't included. (I scavenged filling from a cheap stuffed animal for this, you don't need much) The needles that are included weren't very good so I used my own (Singer assortment), and you should get some needle threaders because you'll be changing thread a lot. I also bought a pair of small detail scissors and strongly suggest you do too. They make ALL the difference because you usually end up having to cut out pieces on the wrong side of the line and precision cutting really matters here. You're going to spend many hours putting this together, make it as easy for yourself as you can. This kit isn't beginner friendly, it's best if you have some hand-sewing/felt stocking experience (and patience). But when you do complete it, it's an impressive piece.

Bucilla kits are great and love doing them! They turn out like the photo. I have Bucilla ornaments my mom made when I was young and I am handing some of them down to my kids' families.

This is the first time I have done a craft like this. When I opened it up and saw all the tiny intricate pieces and read some of the directions, I was a little overwhelmed. I started the first ornament and took each step one at a time. This made it a little less overwhelming and I finished my first ornament and it doesn't look too bad. I am ready for ornament #2. See my finished ornament.

Beautiful snowflakes, just like their pictures. Used them to add to Christmas packages as a special touch to complement the wrapping paper. After, they can adorn teach receiver's tree for years to come.

These ornaments are so adorable. It is great to have a little project to take on the plane.
