A majority of the patterns do not pertain to small pieces. The design might work better if it is larger. Felt is hard to sew on a sewing machine. I think it would be more difficult to sew on felt than on interfacing.
Selected User Reviews For Sew Mini Gardens (Klutz Craft Kit)
Among the best purchases I've made for my kids, this has to be one. Over the weekend, they worked on this a lot. It kept kids so occupied all weekend that they basically stayed quiet the whole time. It was super helpful to have the cut outs. Cutting out the pieces, tracing them on the fabric, then sewing them together was all there was to it. The sight of mutant plants sewn on that I was supposed to love made me laugh, yet I was actually impressed, and I'm sure you were too! Let me be honest with you. I love my kids and some of their crafts are something only a mom can appreciate. It's not true in my kitchen I keep their sewed garden. Children between the ages of 8 and 11 could easily follow the instructions.
She'd gotten the food one and liked it so much she asked for the plant one for Christmas. has no problem with handling everything on her own since she is 16 years old. It might be possible for children 13 and above to do it on their own. Those under the age of 12 might need a helping hand! The kit includes all the felt you need to complete all the projects, and the kit includes pictures of variations so you can easily customize it. In any case, felt can be purchased at a craft store for a relatively low price, so you can reuse the book repeatedly. It is a picture of some of the thugs that she made from the food version of the.
Crafting at home has never been easier and better than this kit for a beginner. It is essential to have a pen, sharp pointy scissors, and you might want a thimble, but I do not. made the cactus and succulent from the picture, and they came out very similar to the picture. This makes it easier to draw the eyes and cheeks since they are already prepared.
There are excellent directions included with this kit, and all the needed supplies are included. These are the second kit I have purchased as they are very high-quality. Most of the things that I have to do with my 8 year old can be handled by her alone. Although the kit comes with a pot, it is quite small, so we needed to buy more pots and pipe cleaners from the dollar store to finish our project. The price is reasonable.
If they give you just a few more pieces you could get by with making at least 30. The food version was good enough for me to order it!.
I have been making projects from here with my kids for years. An independent 10 year old would be able to do this. If you buy more fabric, you can make as many as you want with the templates included with the kit. know a crafty kid, this is a great gift for him or her. There have even been adults who have said they would like to try it.
This was a neat little book that made things more creative than just your average flat flowers and simple cutout shapes, and many kids enjoyed playing with the cloth pieces they used to use at school. Their play is kept interesting, and they have a wider variety of toys to choose from.
I have a granddaughter who is 8 years old and she loves them! There is little assistance required, they are fun and easy to do. It was so fulfilling to be able to make them myself. She even gave some away as gifts.
