We love plastic canvas, but it has recently gotten a bad rap for being outdated and bland. We wanted to see if we could reinvent the traditional craft…give it new life. We thought there was no better way to turn the skeptics to lovers than a design team challenge!! All of our amazing designers went completely out of their comfort zone and created really awesome projects that are fun AND modern! These aren’t your grandma’s plastic canvas crafts! 😉 We hope you enjoyed the challenge as much as we did — and keep an eye out, there will be more!
Here’s a roundup of all the fabulous plastic canvas projects – just click on the photo to see the tutorial!

Hi Ida! Unfortunately, our plastic canvas challenge is over and it was only between our bloggers. We may do another in the past for our crafters!

Hi Carla, thanks for your comment! The voting contest is one entry per designer. Shaunte made both the jewelry display and neon bracelet.

My granddaughter (4) and I made the triangle necklace and just had the most fun, we also painted them in gold and black and one in blue and black. Very fun and easy to make…. Smiles and Hugs and keep those ideas coming… Ruth
