After you know how large to make an item, you can cut or as I do, have a friend pre-cut your canvis to the correct size. Canvis is bought in sheets and There are different sizes. The sizes are called x count. I most of the time use 7 count, or 7 stitches per inch, about. It is the easiest to feal the holes either with your finger or the tip of a needle. Most of the time, I use a size 16 or about, tapestry needle. They have a pretty large eye and if you squeeze the yarn, it usually will slide into the eye with out a threader. Once in a while the yarn can fray.
Send me your phone number, e-mail and address, if you want and I can get you started on something easy, while you are home, recovering.
My e-mail is;

Leaving at 5:00 eastern, today and not back until Monday.

I bought it from Terry P. You buy pre-cut pieces of plastic canvas that you embroider with yarn and sew them altogether to form the box cover.

Hi -- I just wanted to say, get better soon...
Also, I'm just finishing a tissue box and they are not hard to make, and are
quite pretty when done. I had not done plastic canvas before, but it is
quite easy.
Enjoy your chosen krafts.

Will you please contact me off line or speak to me before class Thursday
about tissue box. I have 2 baby gifts I need to make and I like tissue box
idea in variegated baby yarn, however, I need your help in pattern and
canvas. I would be happy to purchase canvas from you if you have it cut, or
if you can tell me what I need to make canvas. I will be laid up for awhile
as I found out Tuesday I broke my left foot and fractured my small toe, they
are casting it Thursday and a blind person with crutches does not do well,
therefore with my time I would at least to use my hands to keep busy instead
of my feet. My Nifty knitter will be getting a lot of use too. Thanks to all
my teachers in recent past who are now going to help me recover.
