Plastic canvas

Do you like to make things with string or yarn? Plastic canvas is like a special kind of netting made out of plastic that you can use to make all kinds of cool stuff with yarn. It's kind of like a big sheet of plastic that has lots of little squares in it, like a big checkerboard.

When you want to make something with plastic canvas, you can use a needle and some yarn or string to weave in and out of the holes in the plastic. It's kind of like sewing, but instead of stitching flat fabric, you are stitching through the holes of a sturdy plastic mesh.

You can create all kinds of fun designs with plastic canvas, like coasters, bookmarks, keychains, and even 3D objects like little houses or boxes. Once you finish your design, you can trim off any extra plastic mesh and your creation will be all ready to use or display.

The best part about working with plastic canvas is that it's really easy to learn, and you can make all kinds of neat things without needing any fancy tools or equipment. All you need is some plastic canvas, yarn or string, and a needle, and you're ready to start crafting!
