Darice- Lona de malla de plástico

Best I have found for my crafting.

I do a lot of plastic canvas and this item works great.

Darice has produced for years sturdy plastic canvas for my favorite stitching projects. I recently started doing projects again and turn to the company I have used before.

We don't have a Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics in Puerto Rico (and they don't ship here either), so I have had to rely on Amazon to get supplies for my plastic canvas needlepoint projects. I was able to buy a dozen sheets of Darice 7 mesh plastic canvas for only $17 (about $1.44/sheet) delivered to my door. Given that no driving was required and no putting myself at risk for COVID-19, I think that's an acceptable price for a tried and true product. The Darice canvas is clean with very few covered holes (these are easily poked out with a needle). I'm using it currently for making boutique size tissue box covers, and it's sewing up firmly with a light bit of give. Just what I needed. I will happily return to this vendor in the future.

I've been having a lot of fun with these. Originally bought for a sewing project, but with left overs I started going nuts and making tons of things. Boxes with lids for snacks, pen holders, back of the seat car organizers, play sunglasses, These have to be my new favorite medium for creating silly projects. My toddler lives to use her plastic needles to play with them too. My biggest problem is my husband likes to sew them into tubes and then triple sew them so they are basically impossible to take apart. Not that, that is a seller problem, just a real life one. Had to hide them before he ruined anymore.

I wanted something to help me build 1:12-scale models for raised beds to help me visualize what I need to buy in terms of concrete blocks, PVC pipe for hoop arches, and various coverings. I measured out a 10-inch wide piece of this plastic canvas, then cut 1-opening strips for the 10-foot PVC pipes. I also cut 2-inch by 4-inch panels to correspond to some 2x4-foot trellis grids. Now I can play with different scenarios before I actually buy the heavy stuff this spring.I like these sheets because they are stiff enough but not so stiff that they won't stay put in my "what if" models. I can move things around and try different things. See my photos. Those 1:12 concrete blocks are from this company.

Good price & good productI used the canvas in creating a custom flower wreath that I sold. This helped me create the center of the flower & I used chenille stems (pipe cleaners) to secure burlap to the plastic canvas. So the width of the holes is about the size of the chenille stems. The wreath was used outdoors and held up nicely in normal weather conditions.Note- If you need a product that is stiff, this will probably be too flimsy for your need.

I bought these to cut out as mats to go inside my NESCO dehydrator. The NESCO sheets were about $6. I needed 6 of them. I purchased these for a fraction of what it was going to cost to get ready made sheets. I cut them to size and they are perfect for my food drying projects. I have two left over and some scraps that I will likely use for some sort of craft project... not sure what just yet, but when I do decide, these will be there. Very flexible and durable. Well pleased with the purchase for either drying or crafting!
