If you always wanted to learn plastic canvas and thought it was hard, think again. This book is an excellent book for beginners who want to learn. The directions are easy to follow and the pictures are very detailed. Plastic canvas is a craft that can be done by your children maybe like around 10 and up. I have been doing plastic canvas for a long time and find it a relaxing hobby.

Ideally useful

Even though you might know how to do this already doesn't mean the stitches can't be the same. I'm thinking of using everything in the book to match the room I'm in so that I won't feel bad. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that has the patience and color eyes for the projects.

Great for beginners...

...and experienced crafters who can use some simple inspiration. Many applications are possible with these pretty patterns and simple projects.

Good, Basic Book on Plastic Canvas

This is a good basic book for beginners. It tells exactly how to do this craft, and has a few fun patterns.

Good Value NOT FOR BEGINNERS!!!!!

I have been doing plastic canvas for a few years, and even I found some of the instructions difficult. However, the pictures are clear, and I'm able to clarify what is to be done. If you have never done a plastic canvas project, this would not be a book for you. Advanced crafters may get bored. Overall a good value. * DISCLAIMER: I read this book for free, during a trial of kindle unlimited.

Great Beginner's Guide

Very cute patterns. Instructions are written very clear and suitable for beginners. The basics are covered well and can be referred back to easily. Overall, I wish there were more pictures to show how stitches are started in different patterns and how to continue them throughout piece. I will be making some of these soon.

Audience: 8 and up.

Final Rating: 4 stars
