Item Description:
***RARE and Beautiful Kit!! Glitters and glistens on the tree like you can
only imagine!!! Beautiful Ornament Kit!!!!*****
****These
old sequin and/or bead ornament kits are getting harder and harder to
find! Enjoy the selection and shop early for best selection!
So much fun and memories a lot of these have behind them. Sometimes
packaging has some wear, they average around 40-50 years old in most cases,
some wear is to be expected. We (Mom and I) checked them
over, occasionally we added a staple as the most common thing it
seems is the staples start to pull out of the headers or the paper just gives
up a little bit, otherwise unless stated otherwise these are all vintage and
original ornament kits! In some listings more than one is available and
are all pictured in the photos at some point, in that case keep in mind unless
is states otherwise the listing is only for ONE kit and you will get one of the
pictured kits. It needs to be done this way per eBay duplicate listing
polices and I just pull one from the inventory once a purchase is made at
random. Enjoy the history, memories and take some home today! You
never know, is this the last kit like this left? I have my favorites and
I'm sure you have yours. These ornaments have meaning and love to them
when you know how much time and work someone made to make it for you. They
glitter and glisten more then any other ornaments you could ever buy! I
miss LeeWards now those were craft stores! Such a more simple time and
just so much fun and nostalgia to these!***
THIS
IS A RARE VINTAGE ORIGINAL ORNAMENT KIT! All details of the kit are shown
in photos, the auction title and the item specifics. A Beautiful Sequin
and/or Bead and/or Pinning Vintage Ornament Kit! These are the most
beautiful type of Christmas Ornaments you can have on your tree! They
sparkle and glisten more then any other ornaments you could ever buy!
Such a great feeling and look of amazement when you see these on your Christmas
Tree and you know that you made it, not just bought it! This year instead
of stating the ornament kit title here I expanded the amount of pictures for
you to view all the details on your own, it saves me time from typing
everything in the title and item specifics to just have to type it all here
again. I tend to label everything as a sequin bead ornament kit but the
pictures and descriptions may show some are just bead, some just sequin, some
just cloth and pinning as I have a huge variety. All beautiful! I
also label things as ornament kits but there could be a rare one designed as a
centerpiece or table top decoration. However on those my Mom almost
always added string and turned them into ornaments, so to us they are all known
as ornament kits! ***Information on multi item listings is below, often
if there is more then one I picture them all in the last 2 photos both front
and back sides showing that you will get any of the ones shown and at the start
of the listing that's how many I had (by the time you read this some may have
already sold), unless stated otherwise the listing is only for ONE kit.
Thanks.*****
Always
check out all photos, often packaging on these older kits has some wear.
All the details of the kits can be seen in the photos, sometimes the kit shows
as example the ornament in blue, but it may have been available in multiple
colors. If space allows I try to note the colors in the title and also I
use the item specifics that eBay recommends sellers to use. As example if
item specifics say "Satin Beauty (Blue)" that means it's satin beauty
in the color blue (obviously not every piece in the kit is blue but in this
example blue would likely be the satin, cloth or beads/sequins color
scheme. The pictures can be expanded to show all the details of the kit,
how many it makes, the wear on the packaging, etc. The kits are photoed
well in bright light so you can see all the details, they are all vintage
original kits! Also one kit shows a picture with a tape measure for you
to see sizing of the kit and pieces.
Another
good thing is that I offer free shipping and my items are eligible to not only
earn but use eBay Bucks on. Be sure to sign up for eBay Bucks if you are
not currently subscribed. Also possible to save more at certain times as
eBay takes part of eBates that is also known as Rakuten. On my listings
you earn eBay bucks on the full amount of the sale. You don't earn eBay
Bucks on shipping so use that to your advantage! My kits are priced
according to rarity of the kit. The higher the price the more rare the
kit is. Some of these kits it can be years before you see another one get
listed and then you have to wonder? Is this the last one? I have
Sulyn, Merri Mac, Herrschners, Sunrise, Leewards, Walco, Holiday Industries
(Which is actually Walco and the name changed in the late 1970's but is the
same as Walco), York Crafts, Thomas Boutique, June Zimonick, The Cracker Box,
Dexter's, THL Crafts, and more all listed as of the time I launch all the
listings.
Shipping
Info:
I ship
ornament kits by placing each in a inside a box, most are also bagged for
safety as with age some kits can start to have inside packaging give in a bit
and parts can start to move around in bags and I do that on some for
safety. I will NOT ship them in padded mailers like some sellers do as
something that is fragile and 30-50 years old should only be shipped in a
box! Ages on the kits range, from late 1960's up to the very early 2000's
but most are from the 70's and 80's. The only time I ever use only a
padded mailer would be if it's just a bead kit with no forms in the
packaging. We package with CARE!
Keep
in mind the kits are old, while new old stock we have found that almost all, if
glue is included, it's dried up long ago. Sometimes you have extra pins,
fabric, sequins or beads and sometimes you are short pins, fabric, beads or
sequins. Often the Styrofoam or Dylite forms may have
some indention's or bubbles on the foam, Satin Balls may have a few
frays but this does not affect the ornament at all and is very common.
Sometimes if pieces are flocked there can be some loose fibers in the packages
or some light fading to flocked pieces which is very common. Very rare but
sometimes from fabric in a package there can be some bleeding to the other
pieces but usually doesn't affect anything once completed. Also mainly in
Walco kits if you see little Pixies, Angels, Mice, Deer or Santa's it's not
uncommon with the vintage kits for them to have a variance from what
is pictured, I've already seen female deer pictured but bucks included in the
bag as example Frays are easy to fix with Hairspray and dents or dings on foam
is easy as it's almost always covered by something. My mother said that
was all common back in the 70's and it all happens today as well. Hobby Lobby
and/or Jo-Ann Fabrics has been our best friend when we run into these problems
ourselves and in almost all cases we have found what's needed when we are short
on something.
Understanding
of multi item listings:
Some
of my auctions have more than 1 ornament kit available, each ornament kit is
pictured front and back in the last few pictures to show that some may have
more wear to packaging then others but I just grab one and ship it to you, they
are all equal and beautiful. The listings are for only 1
ornament kit unless stated otherwise, I just picture them all in the last photos
to show that some have more wear then others and I just ship the next one once
purchased and take them out of inventory in no particular order. We do
have more than one kit of some available, so it needed to be done that way to
avoid breaking the ebay duplicate listing policy, I will randomly ship you any
of the kits that are pictured in the listing as all have some wear to the
packaging, please keep that in mind if you see a picture of one you don't want
as to me they are all equal and the packaging is older and pretty much going to
show wear on all, if anything major is going on with a particular ornament kit
or packaging that one will be listed as a separate auction or I
wouldn't list it at all. Some kits have writing on packages, which is
common, some have wear, which is common, some have added newer staples as the
old staples the kit came with are starting to tear or loosen up but kits are
closely checked and are New Old Stock. If it's listed it's my mother
approved, any thing that wasn't approved by my mother was likely already
cleared out in separate lots a while ago.)

Return
Policy Information:
I do
offer a 30 day return policy. However,
what you see in photos is what you get or one of the ones that you will get if
a multi-item listing. The pictures are part of the description. Please look
closely, as in most cases packaging shows wear and/or fading. If I see
something of importance that will be listed in the first part of the
description above next to where the actual kit up for auction is stated. I
always try to do my best to be clear, fair and honest. As a buyer myself, I
expect the same. If you have any questions please ask BEFORE bidding or buying.
Thank you!
Payment:
Payment
accepted by eBays managed payments system, which allows you to use nearly all
types of online payments. You are responsible if the item is sent
internationally for any import or tax fees.
I only ship to certain international areas as is listed in the shipping
area. Also any order over $750 requires
signature confirmation per eBay rules. While that's rare to happen I have
to mention it. Thank you so much!
