I love making things with plastic canvas. Does anyone here do this type of craft? If you do, do you make it for family and friends or do you complete projects for yourself? Everything I have made, I have given away as gifts.

plastic canvas is when you make crafts with wool and plastic that you cut and trim into pieces for your crafts. The plastic has holes in it that you weave your yarn into.

I haven't made anything in a while, but I plan on getting back into it soon. Have to get my craft room organized. But in the past I've made things for friends, family, myself, and to sell at craft fairs. I like to make things with plastic canvas. I'm thinking about making a lighthouse for my bathroom to put toilet paper in. Just gotta find the right pattern.

I love to do plastic canvas! I have made so many things with it, it's inexpensive and makes such cool things. This year I made all my nieces and nephews an ornament for the tree with it. I keep some handy for all types of things. I made everyone at work a little potpourri holder with it. I've made a lot of things for gifts and for myself. Nice to meet another canvaser!

I love to make things with plastic canvas, specially tissue holders and bags. I used to sell them for profit but not anymore, I make them for my friends and myself. I am trying to finish a tissue holder in blue for a boy's room.

Plastic canvas is one of my most favorite hobbies. I have been doing plastic canvas since I was around 12 years old, so its been 20+ years LOL I make all kinds of things--magnets, tissue box covers, xmas ornies, Barbie furniture, wallhangings, you name it. I love working with hexagons. I have made a few things with the plastic canvas spheres however I sure used some colorful words LOL I have a bad habit of giving what I make to everyone else though I have started making a lot of my immediate family and for myself. I really like making wallhangings too. I enjoy making the ones from the Temptations patterns.
