Making My First Bucilla Felt Stocking Kit – Ironing, Cutting, and Adding Sequins | Personalized Christmas Stockings
One of my favorite gifts to give this holiday season is the Bucilla Jolly St. Nick stocking kit.
WARNING: The felt in the Bucilla kits can melt if heated too high. Instructions include a symbol for the color of sequin you should use. The spots to secure sequins are marked on the felt with a bead.
How long does it take to make a Bucilla felt stocking?
It’s all done by hand; I don’t think you could do it with a sewing machine. It’s time-consuming; I’d say each one takes about 50 hours.
What is Bucilla?
Bucilla, an acronym of the longer name, became a well-known publisher of books and patterns related to needlework in addition to providing high-quality yarns and supplies for knitting, needlepoint, and embroidery.
How do you attach sequins to felt?
A Refresher on Sewing or Gluing Sequins to Felt
- Slide your sequin down the thread.
- Move needle behind your sequin.
- Push needle through and come up one space in front of the sequin you just placed down.
- Pull the needle through and thread the next sequin, repeating the process.
What can I use to put names on stockings?
Lay cling wrap flat on a counter and draw your names in glue on top. Add glitter and wait for it to dry completely before peeling off letters and sticking them to the stockings with a hot glue gun or any glue.
