Review on πŸŽ… Christmas Cheer with Bucilla Felt Applique Advent Calendar Kit - Must Be Santa, 13 by 25-inch (Model 86312) by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very long but very beautiful.

Nice project, very complex and time consuming. It is important to follow the instructions carefully, marking each step to keep track. This will take a long time, but the end result will be worth the effort. It will be a worthy heirloom for my son. I don't know if the package has enough beads and sequins, but I can do it. All the details are traced very accurately on the felt so this project is not difficult to complete if you follow the instructions. Take your time separating and sorting the threads as some colors are very similar. So far I'm really enjoying this project, can't wait to see the finished product. Edited to add: Project completed in about 3 months of daily work for an hour or two a day. Please note that the thread in this set is actually mismatched. Too little white yarn although it's one of the dominant colors, too much yellow yarn and I don't even think I used it because the gold colored yarn from the kit worked better for this project. . The red beads are incredibly poor quality as I have never seen so many broken or cracked beads in my life, there were hardly enough of them so I'm not surprised that some people ran out of beads before the project was complete . I really strongly recommend the manufacturer to address these complaints and build this kit properly. Remove the yellow thread and replace it with dark gold, add more white, red and green thread as these are the most used colors. The pearls are also embarrassing, they need improvement. They had an overabundance of colors that were hardly used, so it was annoying. I still have a large amount of sequins of each color in the store which is good because the sequins are harder to replace. In general, the star should be removed if the kit is poorly assembled. The result is nice but very disappointing to deal with the problems described above.

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • boring packaging
