Tetris Magnets

[PinkPoodle]

Needlepoint on plastic canvas finished on the back with felt. These were so much fun to make!

I've actually been in the process of making my own tetris magnets out of little wooden blocks. I don't know why I didn't consider stitching them on plastic canvas like that. Good job!

I love these, they're gorgeous!
I've got tetris magnets on my to-make list on plastic canvas too! Do you have tips on using it? I've recently been given some 14 count clear plastic and I've never used it before!

[PinkPoodle]

Thanks!

Did you get the perferated plastic, or actual plastic canvas? I've used both, actually. These were made with the bigger plastic canvas and I did each stitch 2 squares across (I hope that makes sense). The only tip I really have is to cut the size you need out of the plastic canvas before starting to stitch. It's hard to work with if you try to work with the whole sheet.

I have to make tetris magnets my sister loves tetris. Could you show a pic of the back please.

[PinkPoodle]

I'll take a pic of the back tomorrow in better light. The camera I'm using takes dark picutres, so taking pictures at night is never a good idea.

However, I'll go ahead and tell you what I did. I hot glued the cut-out plastic canvas shapes to a sheet of felt, then cut them out. Then I hot glued a magnet onto the felt. Fairly simple. But I will get a picture for you.

I'm actually not sure what the difference is between the two is! And yes, that description of how you stitched it did make sense. Thanks for the tip about cutting it to size first, I was wondering which way I should go about that.

I guess to hot glue you need a glue gun. I don't have one but I wonder if you think strong "normal" glue would work? I just have to make those for my sister

Just FYI, glue guns are very cheap! Often less than $20 these days, including the glue "ammo".

Good to know. I think my sister has one but doesn't get very hot, a version for kids.
