I got into plastic canvas a few years back and did so much stuff I got really tired of it and packed it all away. I was making towns-- houses, the town mill ,church, school, the whole town. even the kazebo in the middle of town.

Wow! Have you still got it? You could have an exhibition, or a charity event. I've never got into plastic canvas, partly I think 'cos I never have the time. I started to make a tissue holder once, but didn't get very far.

Wow !!!!
We are also into plastic canvas different times of year. Couple years ago mom and myself worked all year on castle and it took all year !!!! was one of those for 11 1/2" dolls.... made for my niece... she loves it and will treasure it always....

now mainly do bookmarkers and smaller items.... thinking about starting log cabin but still working on the design for it... love doing big projects... great to see people's expression when they notice that it is plastic canvas.....

No I gave it all away. all the things I made. I got many a blue ribbon though at the fair in our county.

I have made prayer books for my chruch's lutheran womans missionary league several times. they were a hit. It takes three hours ( about) to make one. I make 50-60 at a time for the ladies to give out to visiting churches from lutheran churches around the synod. Also make crosses to give to visitors to the church. they are a big hit too.

So where do you guys buy yarn? I went to Michael's and Wal Mart and had a hard time finding appropriate yarn---some "plastic canvas" yarn, but mostly had to use knitting yarn to get the right colors. And what I bought is too "frail," it frays easily. Any suggestions?

I use mostly the yarn that is made especially for plastic canvas , but sometimes it is better to use some reg. yarn. I use the small stuff on my crosses. it has silver intertwined with the yarn, which makes it stronger. I have to cover alot of small places with that yarn on the crosses. It dose just fine.

but I like to use the special canvas yarn on my larger projects. It really gives a nice uniformed look. really neat looking. I have made big christmas bells. they sure are pretty. It stands about 1 ft 6 inches and the bottom is about a foot across. it sure is bueatiful.
