Activity Kit Review - Disney Villains Cross Stitch: 12 Wickedly Fun Patterns

About the Cross Stitch kit
They’ve got style, sass, and schemes! Over the years, Disney has created some epically evil villains. From cold-hearted Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians to sea witch Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Disney villains are definitely scene-stealers and style icons! And they’ve never been more popular.

So grab your hoop and some edge to your needlework with this colorful kit featuring twelve projects inspired by your favorite antagonists. All twelve projects include a witty overview highlighting fun facts about each villain, easy-to-follow patterns, and full-color photographs to help you visualize your projects.

You'll receive:

• Bamboo embroidery hoop
• 10 skeins of embroidery floss
• 2 pieces of cross stitch fabric
• 2 cross stitch needles
• 48-page instruction book

The materials included in the kit allow you to complete two of the projects. Both the kit and your finished projects make great gifts for your friends and family who appreciate the glamorous dark side.



My Take on the Cross Stitch Kit
If you are a fan of Disney, but also love to cross stitch, this is the perfect gift. Whether it is for yourself or for someone else, the Disney fan of villains will be completely transfixed to what this kit offers. You get amazing patterns, and while you will not have enough fabric to make them all, you do have the ability to make two of them. My daughter has been a fan of the villains in the past and this really allowed her to dust off her cross stitch skills to make something unique for her room. She was so excited to make this, but also to share it with us and her friends (which she does not usually do). All-in-all I was really impressed with the patterns and the kit itself and you will too!

My Take on the Kit
My mother taught me to do cross-stich as a child and it has come in handy over the years. I have been working to teach my own daughters the same and because of their love of Star Wars (and mine too) this was a perfect kit to do just that. The kit provides you with a ton of ideas for things you could create in the future and gives you floss and other supplies to create one such cool Star Wars creation. The activity kit is amazing and the first that I have found that really incorporates in a love for Star Wars with cross-stitch. My Kudos on this kit as it is easy to follow and fun for all ages!

Activity Kit Review - Star Wars Even More Crochet

About the Kit
Continue your interstellar yarn adventure with Star Wars Even More Crochet! With instructions for twelve different characters and enough materials for two complete projects—BB-8 and a Jawa—your crochet collection can soon include Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lando Calrissian, Rey, Finn, and many other favorites. This kit offers hours of crafting entertainment with out-of-this-world results!



My Take on the Kit
My daughters and I worked on this, even though this was not a multi-person project. I have never been a huge crochet person, but this kit made it easy and the instructions were very clear when it came to the characters too. There is enough yarn for 2 projects (Jawa and BB-8) and then you will need more yarn to make more. Now that we have made one though we want to actually make more and you will too. Overall I think this kit is geared toward the intermediate person that has crocheted in the past. If you have never done this before you probably will find that this is difficult. They do offer more advanced options for you if you are at that level of skill. If you are a beginner, you could try this but it may be a challenge. The only thing to keep in mind is that materials are limited in the kit and you may want additional or even better quality yarn when making these cool characters.

My Take on the Kit
The new Marvel Felt was an amazing kit that really allowed you to connect with your kids in a brand new way. I found that my daughter and I spent hours creating some very cool Marvel characters. I chose to make Captain America and she chose to create Spider Man. While it took a few hours for us to cut out and sew together the finished project the time went by quickly and we had a ton of fun working together. This is an amazing kit that no matter who your favorite Marvel character is, you have the opportunity to create it for yourself. Such a fun activity to do with your family! I highly recommend this kit to all!
