Bucilla Felt Applique 18" Stocking Making Kit, in The Workshop, Perfect for DIY Arts and Crafts, 86165

I adjusted the design somewhat but it turned out very well. Easy instructions to follow. I have used this brand several times.

I have done a few of these and have all turned out great! This one was by far the most challenging of all I have done. It had so many tiny pieces, was a bit overwhelming at times. Def not a project for beginners. Only complaint I have was the colors of the felt that came in the package did NOT match the ones in the picture. They were much more bright and vibrant and I actually preferred the muted colors in the picture as it looked more vintage. The bright felt of some of the pieces just looked a little tacky. Other than the color being off from the picture I have no complaints. It was a fun project and I hope my great niece loves it as much as I still love mine my aunt made me 25 years ago! :)

I’ve made three of these Buscilla kits. I had no idea what I was doing when I started. The instructions are good enough to teach you what you need to know. My kids love the finished product and will treasure them. Be warned that these take a lot of hours to finish. I have to start them in Sept./Oct. to finish by Christmas. It’s slow and relaxing work, but don’t think you’re going to get it done in a few weeks. Well, not if you want to do anything else during that time!

This has been one of my favorites. It’s so cute.

This is about my 20th stocking for relatives. Only one thing I don’t like about the Busilla stocking is the dark print on the felt, because if your embroidery is off even a little the ink is seen. After I embroider and the ink shows I gently try and pull up the print using tweezers and small scissors. This stocking has many little pieces. I feel a person has to be really organized so pieces don’t get lost. 1. I will cut out pieces (leaving the number on) according to color and place each color in baggies. 2. I will sew sequins on and embroider them and sew the pieces together. (ie the ball the red and green sewn on to the gold). 3. I will also gather up the pieces to each design. For instance the ball on this stocking (ie the gold, green and red pieces). 4. Start applying the pieces from back to the front. (ie boots, the white cuff, then the red pant leg and so on). As you can see I like to add a little touch of my own. My nephew has a dog named Sophie, so I made a pattern of a paw print and embroidered the print and her name on a small tag. It’s attached to the ball. FYI: Doll’s shoes were not good for embroidering, so I made felt shoes. She went from a size 2 to a size 7 🤣😂

The body of this stocking is awesome, but the top required some creativity before I was happy with the end result. When I attached the name 'tag' that hangs off the side, it would flip around showing an ugly back. And, I didn't feel like the 'focus' of the stocking was correct... Isn't the name one of the most important parts? I want the name that I painstakingly stitch out front and center! I ended up attaching the 'tag' all the way onto the face of the stocking and moving some of the 'workshop' items to hang off the side... Great product, I just had to adjust it to make it look the way I wanted to...

I've made a number (8-10) of felt Christmas stockings and prefer Bucilla. Their kits are we'll organized and the instructions are clear. Their designs really set them apart from other brands.

Pictures look awesome. Bought this to make for my baby daughter. No idea how I'm going to finish this before Christmas though. It's terrifyingly complex!! Update: I did finish this before Christmas 2019 although it took me right up until the day before we travelled for the holiday. I can humbly admit that this was incredibly hard work but the result was worth it. Not that it should matter, but I'm a guy who would have loved one of these as a kid and so I really wanted to make one for my daughter. Revisiting this review as I'm considering making another (different design ) bucilla kit for my beloved wife.

Desde pequeña mi mamá nos hacía botas y varios arreglos navideños de esta marca, así que ahora que soy mamá quiero hacerle unas a mis hijos. Sin duda la mejor marca de manualidades navideñas, fácil de hacer y de excelente calidad!

Mi piacciono molto questi prodotti americani in feltro. Facile da realizzare anche se le istruzioni sono in inglese o spagnolo (basta seguire la numerazione). Molto belli e di qualità.

Wunderschöne und hochwertige Ware. Es macht Freude daran zu arbeiten.

Es un producto excelente y no dudo en recomendarlo a quienes les gusta el trabajo manual.
