Item Description
:
***A little history lesson. Walco was well known for producing Sequin and or Bead Kits from the early 1900's until about 1976 when the company was bought out and the name was changed to Holiday Industries.  Often the Kits say Holiday or Holiday Industries on one side but also say Walco somewhere else on instructions or the back hang tag.  For listing purposes I have combined the kits in the listings, some may say Walco and some may say Holiday or Holiday Industries.  They are the same exact kits and all are vintage and original kits!  Packaging from being 40 or more years old likely has some wear but when I turned 40 I showed some wear as well :)  So if I see the name Holiday on any kit I list it as Walco / Holiday and if I only see Walco it will just say Walco.  Has to be done this way to combat the eBay duplicate listing policy.  Often more then one kit is available at the start of the listing and all are shown and I randomly once purchase will ship any one of the kits shown.  Flocked pieces of Walco often have some wear but once covered with sequins and beads are just beautiful!

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!
History of the Ornament Kits
:
New Old Stock. Over the last many years my mother and I in effort to make vintage Christmas Trees have accumulated a lot of ornament kits (some she has had since the days of Montgomery Wards). My mother still makes these kits to this day.  However she struggles more these days with some arthritis issues.  I love you mom!
We found these at Montgomery Wards itself, other stores, thrift stores, rummage sales, estate sales and online.  These kits are ALL Vintage Originals they are NOT some copied patterns like some sellers offer and will never compare to the vintage originals.
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 east 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 then 1 ornament kit available, each ornament kit is pictured front and back in the last two 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 two 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, but it would need to be for something major. Buyer is responsible for return shipping and it would need to be returned as it is pictured and described.  As the item listed and pictured is the one that you are going to get (or one of the ones pictured 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 by PayPal only (unless I sign up for eBay payments but as of this time of listing creation I've not done so and I don't see it in my future), you must have a confirmed shipping address.   I will only ship to the confirmed address on your PayPal Account, do not ask me to change a mailing address different then what is on your payment.  Payment is due within 48 hours of any auctions end or close, for most fixed price listings immediate payment will be required by eBay.  International shipments I do NOT change customs forms to lower the amounts.  You are responsible if the item is sent internationally for any import or tax fees.  Also any order over 0 requires signature confirmation per eBay rules.  While that's rare to happen I have to mention it.  Thank you so much!
