I picked up a Bucilla kit for making felt flowers for under $2 at HobbyLobby not long ago. Last night, I pulled it out and got a massive headache when I tried to decipher the instructions which are on 1 doubled sided page in English, French, and Spanish. I understand that printing costs money but the directions are so terse that they made little sense ... t'would have been better to have more instructions or at least to have someone who is a native English speaker re-read the English to make sure that the translation from whatever the original language was came through for the average Jane.
Really bad instructions

That felt stocking I complained about a while back? Also a Bucilla kit.
My sympathies.

The kit originally sold for $12.95 and was marked down to $2. Don't have a clue whether the kit contained wool or craft felt. I gave it away just a little while ago to someone who came for a stitch and *itch session. She likes making flowers and isn't as construction challenged as I am. An unkind soul might say I bought her goodwill since I turned down her request to make something for a chapter get together ;-)
They're known in our house as 'Destruction leaflets' !
You make me think of someone in our Guild who says if you know you aren't going to finish something, or you decide you absolutely hate it, whatever, kit it all up, place in bag and donate to the Salvation Army that way you can feel good about it lol
