Has anyone ever "Free Handed" a kit?

Post image

This was found at an Amazon returns bin store as is with the bag of drills all mixed together... I really like the design, but don't have the patience/time/energy to even attempt to separate out all those drills... I do have quite a few extra drills and was debating on attempting to "free hand" the kit with what drills I have... has anyone ever tried anything like this? Did it work? Any other suggestions on what I could do with it that doesn't involve spending too much extra money?

The Amazon returns stores or Bin stores, just like the name implies, sells Amazon returns... our local stores sell all merchandise for a certain price based on the day... for example, Thursdays are $12 days, usually when the new, bigger items are put out... prices decrease throughout the week until Wednesday when everything is $1... this kit was $1... I've gotten diamond painting kits, diamond painting purses, and coasters for $1 or $2... they have so much other stuff there, too... it's kind of a luck of the draw and thrill of the hunt to find good stuff for cheap... we've gotten food dehydrators, kitchen utensils, puzzles, board games, pet toys, and so much other random stuff for ridiculously cheap! :)

I love finding kits at the bin stores. I’ve never free handed, but I’m sure it’s totally doable!

There's one near my office. They seem to be renting an empty storefront like Spirit Halloween does.
