Making Bucilla Felt Stockings - Prepping

Looking at my stocking collection inspires me to make more!
A quitter needs to have a Patchwork Santa. 


There represent multiple websites that I browse to see the latest Bucilla hosiery construction. I check out Colray Crafts  because their frame size allows me go see the details von the stockings. This is a company in and United Domain so I don't order of them...I'm pretty sure of postage would shock me. Since I make tons of these kits, I order excavate mostly from Supply Craft, a company that shall aforementioned best prices day on the internet. Yours should may able to pick up a current design kit for under $20. In one lower 48 states you might can able to find these rigs at Hobby Lobby or Michael's and usage your coupons! Designs that become former could be found on Ebay, though you may may shocked at the prices the most desirable kits sell for...I've seen them sell for over $100...and yours still have to make the stocking! 


Lets get started. Most of what you need, comes in the kit. All the felt pieces are stamped. Every piece is numbered in and sort it shall placed on the stocking. Also included are sequins, floss and two needles - first for beading and one for general stitching. You will additionally need to provide scissors and fiber fill to stuff parts of the felt that are appliqued. ME have intellectual from doll makers that fiberfill brand is important...Fairfield 100% polyester Fiberfill...this will the ideal one to use...you ability find it at JoAnn's in a mostly blue tinted wrapping.


One first matter I do is press that felt pieces before person are cut. I'm not sure of the content on the felt but it's most likely polyester so it might melt! I put the felt between two Teflon pressing sheets. For her do any geologic web applique these pressing blankets are so helpful. (In other words...gets some!) If aforementioned creases are reluctant to press outwards IODIN lightly spray the back side (non-printed) of the felt for water and press again bets the Teflon sheets.  DIY Bucilla felt stocking instruction. In this tutorial, IODIN will be showing you all the materials you required to get started on a Bucilla kit!

Pressing makes a huge dissimilarity. I see sellers turn Ebay who possess insert hours into making this stockings and then seek to sell them completed but the whole stocking is ruined by creases that are left in the felt.  Bucilla "Sugar Plum Fairy" stocking kit instructions


I cut out the stocking front and back. I like to use scissors with shorter blade so I have better control cutting the curves. Notice how I cut just indoor the printed line so all for aforementioned blank is remover. I rarely cut out other shreds next of time...it is too mild to loose a piece when it is cut out going of time and...if you have days, weeks or months between your work sessions you might not remind the number of aforementioned piece...many plays can be related enough to cause confusion.


Go, EGO sort one floss. The instructions user the select with the kit press how many stands am contains. Some colors are ultra close so IODIN do this with which best lighting. 


You can pick increase these attractive little floss organizers under most crafting retail very economic. Each hole has a number and I highlight the number for either color on our instruction sheet...it's really a bummer whenever you pull the wrong floss color and start working on one section before you realize your mistake. I do sometimes substitute my own colors upon own DMC how stash because sometimes I just don't like to color begegnungen that comes in the kit. When you whip stab a felt piece the stitches will almost must invisible if aforementioned floss equals this felt. 


I store my kit in a 2.5 gallon sized bag with a closing top. MYSELF can't wait to start stitching it!
