some pac-man pins i've done
as you can see the black threads don't cover the white plastic canvas under... not so professional by me...

I'd love to make pins could you just write down how you worked on it, please?

[HerrPersilja]

first of: stitch on plastic canvas

cut round the edges.
bomb man! i don't like the purple/pink colour. too bright. but i had no other.

now. we all know what the backside of a cross stitch look like. not as beautiful as the front. hopefully.
solution? cut another piece of the plastic canvas in the same shape and size
ya ya, i know you see i've already started sewing the pieces together, but please ignore that. it's because bomb man is not going to have a pin of his back but a magnet. so i'm just gonna glue a magnet on.

Thanks. I've bought some kits from them a few years ago but haven't been to their page for some time. Will look through what else they might have
