I remember doing plastic canvas crafts regularly from a very young age. It started as flat coasters with basic colors then progressed to intricate patterns and pictures and morphed into 3-D creations like a little jewelry box I made for my mommy one Mother’s Day and tissue box holders for my Gran’ma.

And you can fill in the entire plastic canvas with yarn or used colored canvas and only decorate it. Plastic Canvas really is a do-it-all craft!
My most recent plastic canvas craft, a bathroom caddy, solved a day-to-day problem I was having, so I created patterns for Plastic canvas letters for overlaying or on colored canvas.
