Plastic Canvas Book Cover Pattern

December 13, 2020 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

Do you remember when you were a child and you had that favorite book that you read over and over? After a few readings it would practically be falling apart. Well, here is a pretty solution for you. It’s a plastic canvas book cover project from Dream a Little Bigger.  What a fantastic and practical idea!

This tutorial goes over each step that you need to make a cover for a book of any size.  You do need basic plastic needle embroidery supplies like yarn, a plastic canvas needle, 7 count plastic canvas and scissors.  Most importantly, you need the book you want to cover.  You may want to use a ruler to help you measure, but you don’t need it.  Basically your book is your template.  It’s that easy.

I like the plaid design the author used for her cover, but if you want to try something else, you could. On a side note, the cat in her photo is really cute and obviously likes to help her out.

This would be a fun gift to make for your favorite book lover, or to help save one of your own favorite novels.
