Bucilla Felt Applique Wreath Kit, 15-Inch Round, 86264 Cookies & Candy

This is my 3rd kit and it is insanely beautiful. Please don’t try to do this kit if you don’t have the patience and time to sit and sew hundreds of little pieces onto the backgrounds. You will get frustrated. But, personally I love doing handwork. I have been hand sewing for years and years between hand quilting and hand embroidery, etc. If you go to youtube and type in Bucilla Kits, there is a lady who gives step by step instructions for the kit she is making, but the directions pertain to all kits. This kit will take about 3 weeks worth of working in the evenings. Do not try this if you don’t have the time to spare. There are probably many partially finished kits in boxes hiding under some beds where they will languish forever. Don’t let yours be one. Finish it!!! You will be pleased and surprised at how professional it looks.. The kit calls for cardboard to use to make the wreath firm. I am using a piece of white foam core board available in many dollar stores. While I do follow all the instructions to a T when doing these kits, this time I am going to make the gingerbread people and all the candies and things and have them ready to put on when I finally put the wreath base on. Do not cut out everything even if you feel the urge to. I keep each color of the felt pieces in a plastic zip bag till I have to use some of the pieces, and the directions and main picture in another and the threads in another. Makes it easy. I also bought a little holder for the sequins. It makes it easy when you have everything all organized. Hope you have good luck. [...]
