ORIGACH 6 Set Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit for Beginner Starry Sky Pattern DIY Stamped Embroidery Bookmark Kit with 20 Colors Embroidery Floss Instru...

These bookmarks will make great gifts for kids. I work in the library and we like to give them prizes when they've done really great in class. These are something the kids would absolutely enjoy. It was also really fun for me to make for them! Right now space is really in so the kids are going to absolutely love the way they look to.

These bookmarks are simply beautiful. They are great for beginner cross-stitchers. Whether you like stamped cross-stitch or counted cross-stitch, these are perfect for you! You get 6 bookmarks, more than enough floss, several needles, a needle threader, and a pair of scissors. You also get directions. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!

I wouldnt call this perfect for beginners. The instructions are a little lacking. It shows you exactly what color goes where with a key to the side and the code numbers match the numbers printed on the skeins. That part is easy. The designs are simple. Whats not easy? How many strands do you use? Some cross stitch kits call for splitting the thread, some dont, but all tell you what you should do. This didnt. Ive done a few and Im not playing thread chicken, so Im guessing dont split and thats why they said nothing, but I shouldnt have to guess. They also dont warn you that you need to ball the thread or put it on a bobbin. I worry folk will try to work straight off the skein and get a tangled mess. They show clearly how to do cross stitch in the boxes, but all of the letttering is not counted cross stitch. The lettering is not cross stitch, and there are a few options there. I went with backstitch as it seemed the simplest and most logical. Long stitch was another good option. There is no guidance which to use and no instuctions for either. So if you want to learn on a kit, this isnt the best choice for a first kit. Its good for a second or later beginner kit, once you know how to do the stitches and want practice. The photos here are how they look before they are stitched. No one square has mulitple colors in it. There is no confusion. Its also a very dark print, which is great for anyone with weak eyesight. I know a few seniors who do needlepoint, cross stitch, embroidery and the like, and canvases with very pale print is a problem for them. This is ideal for that community. The dye fades in the wash, and doesnt stain the white of the fabric, but honestly, I hand wash at least the first time in excess of paranoia. The designs are beautiful and even stitched, they are thin enough to act as a nice bookmark in a larger book. They might be a bit too big for mass market paperbacks depending on how far out you want your bookmark to extend. They come with ample needles, child-safe thread scissors, and a a very cute flower needle threader.
