Canvas Sheet Creations

Plastic canvas is a sheet of plastic grid or mesh that has yarn

stitched onto it for decorative purposes. It is used to make

covers for tissue boxes and tape dispensers as well as book marks,

baskets, Christmas ornaments and purses. You can use plastic canvas

to create a cover for your tissue boxes with a premade pattern or a design

of your own. The plastic canvas is cut to the dimensions of the tissue box and

the edges are sewn together to make the cover.

The plastic canvas art sheets can be used for stitching and cross stitching

Multiple purposes - use the canvas sheets to create a variety of good projects

Plastic canvas is a craft material of lightweight plastic with regularly spaced

holes in imitation of embroidery canvas. It is also commonly known as vinyl weave.

Plastic canvas is typically used as a foundation for needlepoint or other canvas work

embroidery, usually in acrylic or wool knitting yarn. Due to its rigidity, it is useful

for creating 3-dimensional objects such as tissue box covers, small jewelry boxes, handbags,

and other decorative objects.

Plastic canvas is manufactured in many colors and with various size holes for different

thicknesses of yarn. As with textile canvas, these are described in count – that is, 10-count

plastic canvas has 10 holes per linear inch.Typical sizes are 5-, 7-, 10-, and 14 count.

It is most readily available in A4 size sheets but pre-made shapes such as circles, triangles

as well as novelty shapes (e.g. dinosaur, bird, cross) are also available

Plastic canvas is also employed in teaching needlepoint and cross stitch to children, since its

rigid structure does not require the use of a hoop or frame.
