Plastic canvas is a rigid embroidery base that keeps its shape and does not require additional edge finishing. Unlike fabric canvas, plastic canvas does not fray, making it especially suitable for small decorative projects, souvenirs and crafts that need to retain a defined shape.
At Needlework salon, you can buy plastic canvas for embroidery in different colours. Most of our assortment includes 14-count plastic canvas (55 squares per 10 cm), which is suitable for cross stitch, as well as bead embroidery and other decorative techniques.
What is Plastic Canvas Used For?
Thanks to its rigid structure, plastic canvas is ideal for projects that need to keep their shape. It can be used to create small and three-dimensional decorative pieces, including:
- Christmas and holiday ornaments;
- keychains and charms;
- magnets;
- bookmarks;
- small souvenirs;
- decorative accessories;
- boxes, baskets and other three-dimensional crafts.
Plastic canvas is also used for projects where embroidery becomes part of a finished object rather than simply a flat picture. This makes it particularly popular for small crafts, souvenirs and seasonal decorations.
Benefits of Plastic Canvas
Plastic canvas has several advantages over traditional fabric embroidery canvas:
- Keeps its shape — the finished piece does not require an additional frame;
- Does not fray — the edges remain neat after cutting;
- Convenient for small projects — no embroidery hoop is required;
- Suitable for three-dimensional crafts — individual pieces can be joined together;
- Available in different colours — choose a base that complements your design.
14-Count Plastic Canvas
14-count plastic canvas has 55 squares per 10 cm and is a convenient option for many cross-stitch patterns. Our range includes 14-count plastic canvas in different colours and shades, allowing you to choose the right base not only by size but also by the colour of your finished project.
If you are making a Christmas ornament, keychain, magnet or another small decorative item, coloured plastic canvas can serve both as the embroidery base and as part of the background of the design.
Embroidery Kits on Plastic Canvas
If you are looking for a ready-made project rather than a separate embroidery base, take a look at embroidery kits on plastic canvas. These kits include the materials and pattern needed for the project, making them a convenient choice both for experienced embroiderers and for those who want to try a new technique.
