playing around with plastic canvas!

Sister Diane over at CraftyPod posted a great tutorial for making these little plastic canvas needlepoint charms! I am having a blast with these. Needed something new to do in waiting rooms since I finished up my quilt. You should try these out, they're fun! Each one is two sided too! I made the backs different so you get two completely different looks from each one...

I did this next one with variegated thread! Love that look... Now I just need to get some fun chains to put them on & they will be done!

Some folks have commented that it is difficult to find the small count (10 squares per inch) plastic canvas that these call for. I had no trouble at all... Hobby Lobby had it here. It's worth the hunt if you can't find it right away. I used embroidery floss (all six strands) and #20 crewel needles (thanks for the suggestion Jill!). I wonder if the chains will be on sale any time soon???
