The most fun and frugal craft around is
Plastic Canvas Needlepoint. The supplies
are very inexpensive and easy to find, plus
its easy to learn for anyone of any age.
The charts are easy to read and theres no
need to get out the magnifying glass in
order to see what youre doing!
Even the most inexperienced beginner can
turn out a project worthy of admiration.
Plastic Canvas Needlepoint is worked by
cutting shaped pieces from sheets
of plastic canvas; then working stitches
on the canvas. Worsted weight yarn is
the most common type of yarn used, but
specialty plastic canvas yarn is also available.
Details are often worked using regular
embroidery stitches and embroidery floss.
And plastic canvas is a great way to use up the
yarn you have left from other projects.
Its a very rewarding kind of needlework.
When you work with plastic canvas, projects
are not just flat wall hangings or pillows.
Probably the item most people think of when
they think of plastic canvas is a tissue
box cover, but so much more can be done with
plastic canvas, from birdhouses to picture
frames to purse accessories to baskets to
doorstops. The list just goes on and on!
A handmade gift from the heart is always
appreciated. Plastic canvas makes up beautifully
into nursery items just perfect for those baby
showers. Projects work up quickly and
they are very portable. Many stitchers like
to keep a totebag just to carry along in order to
stitch a little when the opportunity arises.
Make accessories for your own home; any pattern
can be customized by changing the colors to
match your decor. It is these handmade details
that make a house a "Home".
The sheets of plastic canvas are very, very
inexpensive. Theyre readily available at
discount and craft stores. Worsted-weight yarn
can be purchased at bargain prices, also. Plus,
garage sales and yard sales are great places
to pick up all kinds and colors of yarn. A little
goes a long way in plastic canvas!
So if youre looking for a craft that is fun and
affordable, look no further...Plastic Canvas
Needlepoint is for you!
