Plastic canvas crafts

[my_lady_lorna]

Anyone else use plastic canvas for their crafting? I've done it for about 7 years now, though I've only really improved within the last couple of years. I'm working on a Christmas garland of snowmen, skates, and mittens at the moment. It will be for my parents' anniverary next month. It's such a relaxing hobby! I usually listen to Sherlock Holmes or watch I Love Lucy as I work. I've memorized so many Lucy episodes that I don't even need to watch them now, LoL!

I did plastic canvas for a long time too. but in 93 our son died and I am depressed. something I just can't get over. I tried to make a prayer book cover but couldn't go through with it. sure wish I could overcome thisl

For a while, I made frames with plastic canvas. I would cut out the square for the frame and fill in the holes with fabric paint (like what you paint T-shirst with. The paint sticks very well. I would make the frames small and put magnets on the back so that they could frame my kid's (or grandkids) art work to be put on the fridge. I also made little boxes with them and put very small baloons or teddy bears in them to use as Christmas ornaments. It works great.
