What kind of plastic canvas project sell the best at craft projects? I have only seen tissue box covers and Christmas ornaments, so I haven't been that exposed to the possibilities.

Your great grand-child will be blessed to recieved something from his great grandmother!

Oh my ! there are so many Plastic canvas patterns!!
Book covers-wreaths-jewelry boxes-eyeglass cases-vases-dolls and favorite is houses--either doll houses or houses for a Christmas village

If you go to Dancing Dolphins Plastic Canvas Patterns--there about 500 patterns you can look at----quite reasonable too

Enjoy

Hi Hestoria, glad to talk with you as Im glad to meet a P.C friend. yes only a few who still do it, some once in a while at Holidays. I keep things around just in case?? Love to see any of yours? Have a nice Sunday HUGS

[Hestoria]

Hi Susan MJ-- I guess not many of us don't do Plastic canvas--I really enjoy it
Cutting the plastic sometimes gets a wee complicated ,especially in a fancy pattern,but
with a little growling finally manage LOL
What are you making right now? Just finished a Halloween frame with a black cat on(for the craft fair)
Also have in mind to make a tote to carry my stuff in--at least They can be made as large as I want to
carry all my stuff!!

Sounds like you should get 2 Totes made to carry all your things. Do magnets & Xmas stuff sell well? I work 10 1/2 yrs in a craft store and cut out for customers and no charge if they bought yarn or Book, I for some reason like cutting a challenge to
me. No one usually like to do that part. If they were in a class in PM hrs Id do small pieces for them as I had 2 hrs. I gal had
Parkinson's and such a sweetie, did'nt like class as people would stare. I told her if she came Id take a Book home and do all the projects out NO Charge if she came. I time we took her home as she missed Bus & lived 30 minutes away. She took us out for a snack where she goes for dinner. Of course my hubby pd. & charged her $2.00 for gas. Oh she was so pleased. Keep on P.C is a
Challenging & loss craft? HUGS Susan MJ

Hi Charles, don't know where to get the form but for Christmas I did a poncho, 7 hats, four were for girls in an orphanage, 1 afghan, and 4 scarves. I know that doesn't seem like much but I just started crocheting again last Sept after not crocheting for years. Winnie

[Susan2014]

Winnie2013 sound like your doing good. A Poncho never done those, hard to do tho with head piece?Scarves are so quick. What stitch / design do U like best Hugs and Keep going , do you sell or just Family & friends?

[Hestoria]

A lost art ??not in my house---you should see the stuff already cut out and the mess of patterns in my storage boxLOL

I still have 2 totes left that Im using --the other 2 were lost in Hurricane Sandy last year
So have been busy collecting more patterns--hehe sure love my computer and all the patterns I find!!

I guess cutting the pattern is half the fun really--even if I do growl hehe
Magnets sell well=also book marks -Lots of times it depends on what people are looking for
