[Nfb-krafters-korner] plastic canvas

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I will count the squares and e-mail it to her.  Looks like we are doing the class in March.  When do you need the baby gifts by?

Terry K.,

For the top, you may need some sighted help the first time. It's easiest for them to draw what to cut and after that, you'll be able to count and maybe do it for yourself. Make your hole a little smaller than where the tissues come out. Make sure you can't see any box. And, just in case nobody told you, leave the bottom open and just sit it down over the box. Your first one may not be perfect. But, by doing it this way, you are learning how to design and get the plastic like you want it and all. Write down your sizes so you can do it again. Maybe know that you need 20 or whatever it is holes wide and 30 high for sides and whatever for top. Random numbers only there.

Greg,

Thanks for help and instructions, that makes common sense help. What about the top, and the cut for tissue, I guess I can feel that cut also. Thanks for your help.

Terry,

Because different brands of tissues do vary slightly, buy a box of the kind you like. Measure it on your canvas and make it just a tiny bit bigger like
1 hole bigger or such. Buy the color yarn you like. An 8 or what ever they are now ounce will make more than one. So, if you are getting two colors for example, just get one of each. If the are little, maybe more. And, if you do get to much and it's a color you like, you will use it for something else.

This message is for you when you get it Monday or Tuesday. I have spent the weekend searching internet for tissue box kit. And I have come to conclusion, make it myself. Can you send me size or dimension of boxes and an idea how yarn or materials I would need to make a box. I will go and purchase supplies and create my own.
