Bucilla Mini Counted Cross Stitch Kit, 3 by 3-Inch, 45445 Girls Rule

This is NOT 5X7 inches! The packaging may be, but the the actual project is only 2x2! This is not an easy beginners project for young children. It is very tiny and difficult for little hands to work with. The frame is cheap plastic and the backing is a piece of heavy paper. (I guess if you ever get it finished, you would need to glue to paper to the back?) It was a cute design and I thought it would be a good learning project for girls ages 4-16 -- none of the girls liked to work on these. The directions were vague; it was very frustrating.

My 9 year old has not started it yet because it looks hard :) Looking for a really simply pattern to teach her. We will pull it out during winter :)

Thread very course. Also rather difficult for a 5 or 6 year old. This was advertised as beginning crossstitch and I thought it would be a fun project with granddaughter. I ended up buying higher quality thread and different needles and did most of it myself. Pattern is cute.

Way too hard for beginning stitchers.

Pretty, positive message in an easy cross stitch kit. This small kit is a fun way for one to learn to do cross stitch . It could be framed, or added to a pocket, tote bag, jacket, etc. I am working the design into a small quilt that I am making. However you use it, you will enjoy stitching.

The product is fine. I thought the cross-stitch was going to be bigger in size. It's all good.

This cross stitch kit is wonderful for a beginning stitcher. I bought it for my 11-year-old granddaughter and she was able to complete the project quickly and easily. Now that she has the basics, on to bigger and better cross stitch projects!

Smaller than expected

It was smaller than what I expected. But it was okay. A good way to start stitching. I bought this one for my daughter but I ended up doing it. Lol.

My daughter loved it

i did not realize the size
