Do the beads come in different sizes? Having run out of extras, I need to get more. ?

I want to post the finished stockings I made. Where can I do that?

This wasn't the case for me. Despite posting photos of the finished product, no photos of it were posted. I think it already shows the photo (mine is not finished). How about writing about it on a blog?

String beads and attach them to the string. I'm still not sure how to do it ?

String enough beads along the length of the thread to cover the space necessary to drape before bringing the needle up at the beginning of the line. Once there are enough beads on the thread to make a nice drape, draw the needle as far down through the fabric as you can and tie a

Can these be used to actually stuff things, or are they just decorative?

The felt stocking kits made by Bucilla are typically more decorative than the ones made by other companies. At our house, we stuff them despite their functional purpose. It is my mother's habit to line them and double up the hang loop for added sturdiness. Making a couple of modifications (lining them and changing the hang loop to make it stronger) you could stuff them and the stocking will last you for a good while. Let me know if that helped!

This was a lot of fun to put together, and the end result was beautiful
5/5

This was a lot of fun to put together, and the finished product was beautiful! The problem is. Despite my busy schedule, I was only able to devote a little bit of time to The embroidery or sequins on every piece of embellishment have to be sewed on. A different piece of fabric is created with each color change. Each red rectangle is unique in its shape to fit the white flounce, and is decorated with three accomplish this, but they It was intimidating to me, even though I'm not a novice. A total of 7 months were spent on the project.

like it a lot! This is my first sewing project other than replacing a button
5/5

I consider myself to be fairly crafty, but I have never done much sewing before. I'm loving the way it is turning out! Even just reading through the directions and figuring out how to follow them and set everything up (sorting strings, etc. ), took me a good evening. From watching videos on YouTube, I learned all the stitches, and would like to add that the small, fine tip scissors are not merely a suggestion, they are a necessity. In all seriousness, I don't think this project would come out well if you're using standard-sized I think there are too many precise cuts in this project. You can definitely do this, regardless of your skill level, just make sure you follow through!.

Such a pretty color! I am so happy with the result of this! If you want to embroider or sew, you need to be somewhat experienced in these activities
5/5

They make wonderful wedding gifts for newlyweds to get started on their new lives together. This is probably the 10th one I've done. I have a few tips to share. I must mention*br Irrespective of the size of the pieces, cut them out one at a time. I must mention*br When cutting out the pieces for the embroidery, keep in mind the cut lines in order not to cut your stitches. It is best to do the embroidery and sequins first. The assembly will go much faster if you complete these tasks before hand. I must mention*br You can strengthen the stocking by using an interface on both the front and back pieces before sewing it. I must mention*br It's the last step I do before sewing on the back that I do the name embroidery. By doing so, I am able to change placements at any time. I must mention*br Change is inevitable, so don't be afraid of it. There is something you don't like in the stocking, but it will not be missed by the recipient. In some cases, the details are a little overkill, so I leave them In contrast, I did not feel like doing the curls on her side of the I removed those from the list. I must mention*br The best way to glue together really small pieces of fabric is with I must mention*br If you need to stitch them on, I recommend you do so. If you use glue, the result won't be the same. It's only fair to make it the best you can if you're going to put the effort into it.

It's a great craft to do with the kids
5/5

Before choosing the Football Santa stocking as a gift for my nephew, I had never made a craft of this type. These are awesome stockings and I got them for my niece. She loves them and so do I. I have done a design for each of my family members. The tests were easier than I had expected I just felt like it and couldn't help myself The bonds are stronger, but more complicated, and they take more time to form Work with a lot of embroidery and embellishments We need to pay attention to While they are not too difficult, newcomers will have no trouble adjusting to them. After years of not embroidering, I've recently started a new project It was even my job to make the Football Santa stocking & hat After having yet another operation, he also had to stay in the hospital for two months. The Wizard of Oz stocking I made for my aunt and uncle is finished. I made my mom a Holly Hobby stocking while she was in the hospital). It was a pleasure doing it, and I look forward to coming up with more.

This is a very good product
5/5

The materials are always of the highest quality, and extras are included so that you always have plenty. The product I am recommending is excellent.

It's a gorgeous stocking, I love it! It's a gorgeous stocking, I love it! A completed version of this stocking will be absolutely gorgeous
5/5

There must have been many hours put into the work, but the finished product is well worth the work. My only recommendation is not to use two It ended up that I had to order another kit just in order to have the head, so I could start from scratch. It was a little hard to work with the gold floss, but I had worked with it in the past and knew how to do it. With this stocking, I am beyond pleased and will be thrilled with how it turns out when I give it.

This is an amazingly beautiful city, but it is challenging as well
4/5

We made this stocking for our granddaughter when she was born. I used leftover materials from a previous project to complete the stocking without having to go to a The kit is not a good choice for someone who is.

A beautiful design, but it is extremely detailed and time-consuming
4/5

Currently in the middle of making it, but I think it will be beautiful in the end. They have helped me three times with my various questions and have always been very patient and helpful. The stocking they are most asked about is apparently the most difficult to make, so the most inquiries are made about it.
