Plastic Canvas 1 Cutting shapes - some tips and tricks

Описание: Shows one way to cut out shapes from your plastic canvas. Use Safety pins or paper clips to mark the areas not to cut! Take care cutting the inner parts - you can bend them out of the way but sometimes they break doing this!

https://craftsandrehab.wordpress.com/... - this page is specifically for beginners or people who do not want to cover the whole canvas with stitches.
If you can sew already you may want to do a more traditional approach and put a stitch in every hole in the canvas. This will be too much for many of the younger children.

Part of the Bagayam Campus craft club lockdown series - I make up kits for the local children and provide web pages and videos to show how to use the kits. But Many other people will find the videos useful if starting with plastic canvas.
Quite a lot of detail is given as most of the children will not have used plastic canvas before. And many will be sewing for the first time.
