The Beauty of Plastic Canvas

Plastic canvas is a versatile crafting material that allows you to create beautiful and durable items. It consists of a grid-like plastic mesh that provides a stable base for needlework. With its rigid structure, plastic canvas is perfect for creating three-dimensional objects like tissue box covers. It comes in various sizes, but for this project, we will be using the regular-sized plastic canvas.

Step 1: Cut out the plastic canvas sheet according to the pattern above. Remember to leave some extra space at the edges for seaming.

Step 2: Thread your yarn needle with your desired color of yarn and start cross-stitching the design on the plastic canvas. You can use different colors for each section to create a vibrant and festive look.

Step 3: Once you have completed the cross-stitching, fold the plastic canvas along the edges and stitch the sides together using the whipstitch technique. Make sure to leave an opening at the top for inserting the tissue box.

Step 4: Slide the regular tissue box into the cover through the opening. Adjust the cover as needed to ensure a snug fit around the box.

Step 5: Finally, tuck the excess plastic canvas at the top neatly inside the tissue box cover to give it a finished look.

Benefits of Using a Tissue Box Cover

Utilizing a tissue box cover not only adds a decorative element to your regular tissue boxes but also offers several practical benefits:

1. Protection: A tissue box cover helps protect the tissues from dust, dirt, and potential spills.
2. Convenience: The cover ensures that the tissues are easily accessible and reduces the chances of them slipping out of the box.
3. Customization: By creating your own tissue box cover, you can match it with your Christmas-themed decor, making your space feel more cohesive and festive.

This simple yet creative DIY project allows you to showcase your crafting skills while adding a touch of holiday cheer to your decor. Give it a try and see how this small addition can make a big difference in sprucing up your home during the Christmas season!

Plastic canvas is a variation of needlepoint and other canvas work crafts, such as embroidery. Our patterns are designed to use acrylic or wool based yarns in medium or worsted weights. Because plastic canvas mesh is so rigid, it is perfect for creating 3-dimensional objects such as tissue box covers, small jewelry and trinket boxes, handbags, magnets, dolls, vases, napkin holders, wind chimes and many other types of both decorative and useful items. Dancing Dolphin Patterns have full instructions, and large full color charts. 

Plastic canvas comes in different colors and with various size holes for different thicknesses of yarn. As with any textile canvas, the hole size is called count. For example, 10-count plastic canvas mesh has 10 holes per linear inch. The most common sizes are 5, 7, 10, and 14 count. It is sold most often in sheets; pre-cut shapes are available in circles, triangles and novelty shapes such as butterflies, hearts, and stars. Our patterns are designed using 7 count plastic canvas mesh.
