Dimensions Felt Applique Stocking Kit Giveaway

Two weeks until Christmas. I imagine lots of scurrying, baking, wrapping. That’s me. No matter what I do, there’s always something else I want to get done, another project, another DIY gift – which brings me to this. This stocking is so cute! And I can’t wait to pull this together with my daughter… a little gift for our newest niece who will be spending Christmas with us.

Polka Dot Stocking Kit

Love that the kit comes with presorted thread, die-cut felt and a needle. It almost goes without saying that there are easy-to-follow instructions.

Craft Product Review and Giveaway: Needle Felting Kit

Now that Halloween is over, are people onto Thanksgiving or are most people skipping it all together and going straight to Christmas? I know, I love Christmas too, but with Thanksgiving there are so many projects on my “to-do list”. Check it out. Aren’t these needle felting kits cute? They’re from Dimensions Needlecrafts. I love the woodland animal feel of the hedgehog and pony.

I’m working on this little guy:

The kit comes with step-by-step directions, 100% wool (all the amount you need), two felting needles, and a felting mat. In some kits you’ll also have embroidery thread, an embroidery needle, molds and/or stencils. If you’ve never felted before, this intro video by Dimensions shows the basics.

I thought this would be a fun project for me and my daughter, but 1) she thought it took too long, and 2) I was nervous about her using the felting needle. It’s sharp!  And because it has small barbs near the point, you can imagine that you don’t want to stick yourself accidentally. I have to say, the wool feels nice and is workable into a firm felt shape. The felting mat is a nice quality – think dense foam. I’ve seen some felting mats that look like hair brushes. Not sure how that works out. The mat gives a nice surface and lessens the chances of sticking yourself.

Felting needle comes with cover

So, I would say this particular kit is not exactly for kids (though my daughter is ten years old and a pretty darn good crafter). The instructions are very easy to follow… felting just takes time. We’re not quite done with our project yet.

So, make some time, grab one of these kits at your local craft store or online at Dimensions Needleworks for $10-$25, OR (and I’m so excited to share this!) enter to win one of the kits I’ve shown here! I’m so thankful for all the support this year from friends and readers… let’s kick of November with a giveaway! I have one hedgehog kit, one snowman kit and one pony kit to give away to three readers.

P.S. I feel like I ought to apologize for not sharing Halloween projects with you.  I admit, I didn’t visit the craft store once before Halloween. It’s just never been a huge holiday for my family, but I’m happy to report that my sort-of-anti-Halloween daughter has turned a new leaf and had lots of fun with her girl pals last night. As for my son, he brought in a haul! His friend and he had a great time trick-or-treating.
