FREEBLOSS 4 Set Plastic Canvas Box Kit Plastic Canvas Kit for Beginners Mesh Canvas Sheets and 6 Colors Yarn for Embroidery Crafting, Knitting Projects

Love to make them and to relearn and practice this craft. Thanks

This DIY Plastic Canvas Box Kit Set is awesome. It comes with 12 pieces of plastic Canvas mesh sheet, 6 rolls of different color yarn, a plastic thread, a needle, and a simple instruction sheet. I'm a beginner, and this is my first time to weave this. It's quite hard to follow the instructions sheet to do if you're a beginner. I suggest that you go to YouTube to watch some videos to learn how to make the plastic canvas box, and then you can easily make it. At first, I followed the instructions sheet to cut the plastic mesh sheet, and then I watched the YouTube video to learn how to start and end the yarns, step by step. The texture of a plastic mesh sheet is strong enough to support it, and the color of yarns is beautiful. I think this kit set is a good idea to create a cute gift for my friend or family.

The finished box is smaller than expected. Paper instructions are virtually useless. Online video could have been so much more instructive. Don’t recommend for a newbie.

I have been doing plastic canvas for a looooong time. I usually just look at pictures of patterns and count the stitches myself to create what I want. Sometimes I create my own patterns when needed. This is just to establish that I am not a beginner. I saw the pictures of these boxes and thought they were cute and looked simple enough, something I can do to ease my stress after work and then just give away. I recognized the goblin stitch but couldn’t figure out the stitch around the edges of the box top, and decided it was worth ordering rather than spending more time trying to figure out the stitch. When I received the order, I opened the package and took out the “instructions” that are meant for beginners, which consist of one page of tiny print, small pictures that don’t show any detail, and worst of all, NO instructions on how to do the stitch around the box top edges! The instructions include a QR code that takes you to a video which basically walks you through how to make the box from beginning to end, which would be great, except that like the instructions on paper, the video is hard to see. The camera is at an angle to the stitching and not zoomed in on what is happening. Even with a practiced eye, I had a very difficult time deciphering what was going on. This would be a disaster for a beginner! I remember my first plastic canvas kit and many more after it, with large, well labeled, step by step instructions for any and every stitch included in the pattern. The diagrams were accompanied by descriptions that laid out exactly what to do, and I was able to follow them and complete my projects. This is NOT the case with this kit. A beginner will end up frustrated, lost, or just end up creating something entirely wrong through no fault of their own. I give three stars because the kit makes cute boxes, they are easily done if you get the instructions figured out, and it includes everything you need, from the needle threader and needle to the scissors and yarn. In that respect, it is a good kit for a beginner because they would not have to buy all of the supplies in order to get started, but then, most plastic canvas kits will include all of these things, minus the scissors, and also have much better instructions. If you are an experienced plastic canvas crafter, this is a nice easy project. If you have some experience, you can probably do fine with this kit. If you are a complete beginner and have never touched plastic canvas before, try a different kit than this one first…maybe even a crafting book with plenty of diagrams…you will save yourself a lot of frustration (and if you are like me, you craft to get rid of frustration, not cause more).

A fun kit to share with friends. Easy to make and fills up a boring afternoon. Great for a rainy day project. Comes with everything you need!

This was a gift for my granddaughter and a first time plastic canvas experience. I wish the pieces had already been cut out so that she could’ve concentrated on sewing and not cutting.

The instructions and the chart dont match up. Looks like a color blue is missing. Not easy to follow.
