5 Types of Bucilla Craft Kits

Seasoned stitcher or needlework novice, Bucilla Christmas stockings have amassed an enthusiastic following of crafters over the years. As any Bucilla fan can attest to, there’s nothing more satisfying than handcrafting something for yourself or as an heirloom gift for another. But the joy and excitement isn’t limited to the stocking variety. The Bucilla brand has been turning out a range of needlework products and kits for more than 150 years.

From tree skirts to wall decor, below we highlight several other types of Bucilla Christmas crafts for beginners and advanced stitchers.

1. Bucilla Advent Calendars to Kick off the Christmas Countdown

Within the Christian faith, Advent is a season of preparation and anticipation for Christ’s birth and His promised second coming. The season kicks off four Sundays before Christmas and the Advent calendar helps count the days until Christmas Day. Popular Advent calendar options are inexpensive, one-use calendars that feature tiny chocolates behind each day. But Bucilla advent calendars can be treasured keepsakes, used to house chocolate or tiny tchotchkes during the countdown. There are a variety of options, with some of our most recent favorites being shown below.

1. Bucilla Christmas Ornaments to Trim Your Tree

Bucilla Christmas ornaments are great for Bucilla beginners. While they require just as much attention to detail as larger projects, you’ll see the fruits of your labor much more quickly. But fear not advanced stitchers, because each kit comes with multiple ornaments for you to bring to life. From ornaments representing the 12 Days of Christmas to intricate snowflakes to ugly Christmas sweaters, there are plenty of fun patterns and themes for you to choose from. Two of our favorite kits are featured below.

1. Bucilla Tree Skirts to Add Pizazz from Mantel to Toe

If you’ve got Bucilla Christmas stockings hung by the chimney with care, why not add a beautifully intricate Bucilla tree skirt near your toes to add to the Christmas majesty? For those who’ve already conquered the stitching of a Bucilla stocking or two, a tree skirt can be a new challenge. The best part? Many Bucilla tree skirt patterns have matching stocking and ornament counterparts. One of our favorite sets is featured below. And the stocking kit comes with a matching ornament.

1. Bucilla Christmas Wreaths to Welcome Guests

Pagan or Christian, wreaths are symbolic across many religious and spiritual faiths. With no beginning or end, they often represent unity and eternity, victory, and immortality. But they’re also an invitation, welcoming guests (or Christ) into your home. Bucilla wreaths come in an array of patterns, each with varying levels of intricacy, which means both beginners and advanced crafters can find a kit they’re comfortable with. Once again, a few of our favorite kits are displayed below.
