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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved the felt set with BUCILLA appliques to make the Christmas wreath. Bring all the pre-cut pieces, threads, beads and sequins needed to complete the project, plus clear and easy-to-follow instructions. The quality of the felt and materials is very good, the colors are vivid and the decorative details make the final result really special. It is a project that requires time and patience, but the process is entertaining and the result is totally worth it.

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.

This kit was so much fun to sew. There was such a variety of candies that it was not boring. I didn’t get any red beads to go on red sequins but called the number on the package and they sent replacements. I didn’t make mine quite like the directions. I sewed all the leaves on the base and then made all the candies. When they were finished I sewed them on the leaves and base. Then I sewed the front to back base together in the center. Then added the cardboard and stuffing. Cut the cardboard a little smaller than the wreath to allow for stitching and stuffing. (About 1/4 inch smaller on center circle and 1/2 inch smaller on outer edge is what I did.)Then using sewing clips I clipped the outer circle of the wreath. I sewed all pieces on with double thread. Important: Do not sew any candy or leaf too close to an edge or you will have trouble sewing it together. Finally on YouTube Jennifer Good has a great video putting it all together.

I am so glad I ordered this Wreath. I could not wait to get it. This is my 2nd wreath, I did the owl wreath. This kit was the 4th kit I did! I'm addicted. They are soo much fun. They are tedious and take time, but when they are done they are worth the effort. I just wanted to offer a little advice or trick. I have come to find out if you secure the 1st. sequin and bead with a knot, the row will not fall off. I have started this wreath, and I am sure that it will be just as beautiful as the it looks in the picture. The kit came earlier than expected. I will repost when the wreath is done! 10/25/18 I finished this kit! I love all the colors, the wreath is so bright and cheerful! I had soo much fun making all the candies. The directions were very easy! I went step by step. I did the leaves first, then I sewed them on. I then make the gingerbread boy and girl. then the cookies and candies. It was very easy to attach them. I would recommend this wreath if you love to sew and create beautiful products that will last for many years. I am fairly new to Bucilla Felt Kits, and I am addicted.

Beautiful wreath and easy enough for beginner

Holy smokes! When I opened the package and saw just how many pieces need to be cut out and sew together, I was very intimidated. However, I really wanted to have something to make, so I just started at the beginning, and it's looking really good! The one thing I have to say is that the instructions for the embroidery stitches are close to useless, and I don't know how to embroider, so I am using fabric paint for those areas. Also, "everything you need" is NOT included. You need stuffing for the decorations, and a large piece of stiff cardboard for the inside of the base wreath. And a needle threader! Unless you have excellent vision. Two needles are included. If you try to use the wrong needle for the sequins and beads, you'll find the beads don't fit over the needle, so pay attention. Anyone who has never sewn before should probably pass on this kit. There is a LOT of sewing involved. For example, the red stripes on each candy cane are individual pieces. Just cutting them out takes a while. Each sequin is sewn on. Some of the beads didn't fit over the provided needle, but there are a lot of extras. I hope to finish this by Christmas, but if I don't, I'll have it for next year. I would suggest this company consider adding a rating to their kits: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced--something like that! Also perhaps an estimate of the amount of time it will take. This kit was probably a bad idea for me to start with, but I have some experience with needle crafts, so I am doing fine. Except the embroidery part! I actually used fabric glue and glitter on all of the holly leaves instead of embroidering the "veins" like you're supposed to. I think mine is prettier than the picture because of that.

What I liked: The kit seemed of pretty good quality except for the white felt. It was too thin for my liking. Also some of the red beads seemed sort of cheap and thin compared to beads I’ve saved from much older craft kits. I found the instructions good and easy to follow even though I had to get out my magnifying glass to decode some of the small symbols. I can’t sit in front of the TV without doing something and I enjoyed making these ornaments. I like embroidery. The beading was slow but steady. I had to get a small beading needle and also use my fabulous Clover brand needle threader to get the single strand of floss through the eye of the needles I used. What I didn’t like: I really really struggled to attach the completed ornaments to the wreath. Another reviewer suggested attaching the ornaments to the wreath before assembling the wreath to the cardboard. That sounds like a great idea except I’m not sure how that would work. It would also be tough sewing the back of the wreath to the front with the ornaments hanging over the edge. The problem for me was putting the threaded needle in the back of the stuffed ornament and somehow getting leverage into the padded wreath background, all the time with the stiff center in the wreath stopping the needle. I could get the ornament attached but then I had to get it stabilized and oriented as shown in my final product. I found a 3.5 inch doll/upholstery needle helped me. It took me a really long time to attach the ornaments. I kept wishing I had used a stiff stabilzer in the center of the wreath that my needle could have pierced so I could have come out the back of the wreath. If I weren’t so durn picky I would have hot glued the ornaments to the wreath!!! I also didn’t like having to locate a piece of cardboard measuring 15 inches by 15 inches. I gave up and used an old vinyl placement that I could cut with scissors. I had to trim off the edges to get it to fit in the felt wreath. I also didn’t like that I spent hours embroidering the holly leaves only to have them mostly covered up with the ornaments but oh well, had to be done. I also didn’t like that some of the supplies were skimpy. I ran out of white embroidery thread. This was NOT a problem for me but might be for others who don’t save everything like I do. I also ran out of some sequins and beads and once again not a problem for me. No, this kid is NOT for kids! Maybe for the kid in you! I made this as a labor of love for my sister who likes my handcrafted felt ornaments but I assure you that I will NOT be making a wreath like this again!!!!

This is only my second Bucilla wreath and it will not be my last! It's beautiful and a great size once completed. I'm still working on it, but know it's going to be the perfect addition to my Christmas decorations!

nella confezione c'è tutto, i pezzi sono stampati e sono da tagliare. ci sono anche i file ed eventualmente nelle istruzioni(non in italiano) i colori da prendere se vengono finiti.

Me encanto esta corona, esta muy bonita y trae todo lo que necesitas para realizar este proyecto (excepto el relleno que llevan cada uno de los diseños, ese se compra aparte) . LLego super rapido y el precio se me parecio muy bien, creo que esta super bien que podamos comrara este tipo de manualidades en Amazon porque es dificil de encontrarlos en otro lado.

Such a lovely wreath kit that has really got me in the spirit of Christmas. I mount my wreaths on cardboard with a florist’s wire wreath form.

Gran decepción es una manualidad tienes que recortarlo y hacerlo coserlo desde el principio al fin lo he regalado para mí ha sido un fracaso

decoration tres facile a faire, pas besoin d avoir un niveau confirmé, il faut juste un peu de patience, une bonne paire de ciseaux et des aiguilles en plus pour eviter de perdre du temps a changer le fil suivant la couleur necessaire.Le resulat final est tres beau
