Bucilla Sparkle Snowflake Ornament Kit, 6 Count

I love snowmen ornaments. This is the first time I found snowman ornaments to make. Looking forward to making these for Christmas.

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.

I have done other felt kits and I do not like the Halloween ornaments. The directions are difficult to understand, half the time I end up doing it my way. The stamped pieces hardly ever show you the exact placement of the bead/sequin combo so I refer to the instruction packet picture and the colored laminate picture. Things get covered or angled funny so then I have to trim. I’m going to finish it for my intended project but I did not find this one user friendly.

Love it

Very nice ornament kit. Easy to follow instructions

Are really small and difficult to cut out....finally gave up.

It was everything I expected and cant wait to make it!

It was just what I expected.

I love the finished product but getting there wasnt the easiest. This is the first felt stocking Ive 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. Thats 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 youll end up refolding a lot. The instructions are sparse, they dont give tips or do hand-holding, its 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 doesnt 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 youll need to puzzle things out. You get plenty of floss, beads, and sequins, but polyfill and a large embroidery needle arent included. (I scavenged filling from a cheap stuffed animal for this, you dont need much) The needles that are included werent very good so I used my own (Singer assortment), and you should get some needle threaders because youll 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. Youre going to spend many hours putting this together, make it as easy for yourself as you can. This kit isnt beginner friendly, its best if you have some hand-sewing/felt stocking experience (and patience). But when you do complete it, its 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.
