    Default Plastic Canvas anyone?

    Hi!

    I was just wondering if any of you do plastic canvas?

    I've done this for probably 25 years and still love it as much now as when I first learned to do it.

    Dh cleaned out the closet in the computer room the other day and came across my plastic canvas supplies. I haven't worked with that in a couple of years now. I need to get back to it, it's a lot of fun.

    my dd's and I go through spurts of different crafts and have not done any plastic canvas in awhile, but enjoy it. They enjoy magnets and tissue box covers the best.

    I go through spurts of doing different craft techniques, also. I did a good bit of plastic canvas over a year ago for some Christmas projects. It is fun!

    plastisc canvas is like a plastic grid
    7 mesh is 7 holes per inch
    . You cut it to make magnets , or bookmarks, tissue covers etc.
    You use cross stitch stitches like you would on cloth.
    Am I explaining this right????

    That sounds like a good description to me. Does anyone have a cure for a slightly lumpy back on plastic canvas projects? No matter what I do, I get lumps.
