#Plastic canvas tissue box cover

[kunoichi-ume]

I can't post on Facebook about how proud I am of my accomplishment so yall get to hear it. 32 years ago for Christmas my grandma made each of her grandkids a tissue box cover. I learned how to do plastic canvas in high school years after she passed in crafts class. Ever since my mom has made comments about how it would ne nice if I repeated this Christmas present idea and this year I decided to do it. It took 12 months to do all 11 boxes, and that's pretty good considering the many times this year when I couldn't work on my current project. Some I had to redo major parts of more than once and two I finished, hated and pulled apart to start over. A few I used patterns for but most of these I made up, much to my frustration when my counts were off and I had to resize the pattern. But I did it! They are done and ready to wrap.

How to Store Seasonal Goods: A Handbook for Fairfield Locals

Seasonal furnishings can provide appeal to various seasons, but they can quickly become clutter when not in use. Your room may feel open and well-organized all year long if you know how to keep your winter clothing, holiday decorations, and outdoor furniture. If you're thinking about storage options, looking into the storage units that Fairfield has to offer can be the ideal way to keep your possessions safe—especially if you have a few additional tricks up your sleeve!

1. Storing Winter Clothing Properly

As the warmer months approach, it's time to set aside the bulky jackets, scarves, and boots. If winter clothing is stored properly, it can last longer and stay in great shape for the approaching cold season. Here are some tips for storing winter clothing.

Clean First: To prevent any stains, oils, or lingering smells that could draw bugs, always wash your clothing before storing it.

Use Breathable Storage Bags: Choose canvas or fabric storage bags that allow air to circulate around your belongings instead of plastic ones. This keeps fibers fresh and helps avoid mildew accumulation.

Add Mothballs or Cedar Blocks: Put natural mothballs or cedar blocks in your storage containers to keep moths and other animals away. Cedar offers a nice smell in addition to keeping insects away.

2. Holiday Décor: Arrange and Maintain

Holiday decorations make any house feel magical, but if they are not stored properly, brittle ornaments and tangled lights may be a pain to unpack. These things can be safeguarded and next season's setup made simple with a methodical approach.

Label and Sort: Make specific containers for every decoration, such as wreaths, lights, and tree ornaments. When it comes time to decorate, labeling each container will save you time.

Wrap delicate objects: Delicate decorations can be cushioned with tissue paper or bubble wrap to keep them from breaking while being stored. To keep them safe, carefully stack them and think about using split boxes.

Keep in a Climate-Controlled Unit: Variations in humidity and temperature can harm some decorations, particularly those of fragile glass, cloth, or wood. These things are protected from extremes by being kept in climate-controlled storage.

3. Patio Furniture: Safeguarding Your Patio Items

Although outdoor furniture is designed to endure the weather, winter can be especially hard on it. Your patio furniture will continue to look fantastic year after year if it is stored properly.

Thoroughly Clean: Over time, mold or discoloration may result from dirt, pollen, and moisture remaining on furniture. Use a mild soap solution to clean your furniture, then allow it to air dry.

Cover or Disassemble: You can protect your furniture from dust and moisture by covering it with waterproof tarps if you have a storage area at home. Alternatively, to conserve storage space, deconstruct any components that are decomposable.

Purchase Storage Units Fairfield Offers: To preserve larger furniture sets for the upcoming season, store them in a storage container away from dampness and freezing temperatures.

The Value of Keeping Seasonal Items in Climate-Controlled Storage

If your seasonal objects are vulnerable to temperature variations, climate-controlled storage can make all the difference in their preservation. Winters in Fairfield may be erratic, with frequent temperature changes having an impact on anything from family antiques to holiday lights. Temperatures are managed in climate-controlled units to reduce moisture accumulation and maintain immaculate objects. Climate control is a smart investment if you're thinking about long-term storage to maintain the condition of your possessions.

Conclusion: Choose a Reliable Storage Partner

Keeping your seasonal equipment safe, accessible, and prepared for action when needed requires careful consideration of storage options. Storage units that Fairfield provides through reliable suppliers might make things easier for locals. Collegian Movers, Inc. offers full-service storage with variable month-to-month leases to accommodate your seasonal demands and easy pickup alternatives. They make keeping seasonal goods stress-free with their safe containers, climate-controlled facilities, and first-rate customer service, allowing you to concentrate on savoring each season to the fullest.

Making Ourselves Little

Traditional arts and crafts are excellent for regressed adult babies.  Their often-repetitive nature can help minds slip into little space – and handiwork is often gendered in ways that can support caregivers’ conditioning goals.  More broadly, preserving traditional art forms is vital, and an adult baby usually won’t be good at efficient grown-up tasks, so this allows them to do something important without becoming frustrated or overwhelmed.

For adult finishing school lessons, regression preschool activities, and just for stay-at-home ageplay slaves, consider crafts like these:

​1. Card-Making.  An elevated form of cut and paste, making elaborate greeting cards is a fine activity for babies regressed to all ages.

Little projects: Sympathy cards for those who must act grown-up, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards, thank-you cards for babysitters and adult pediatricians, small artworks for the refrigerator.

2. Embroidery.  Girls throughout history have been expected to stitch samplers and to adorn pieces for their hope chests.  Your little one’s already got the best they could “hope” for in their regression, but they can have fun embroidering layette and linens, or making gifts for one another!

Little projects: Embroidery hoop art for the nursery walls, “his” and “hers” and “theirs” pillowcase sets, special holiday pajamas, monogrammed handkerchiefs for caregiver.

3. Plastic Canvas Needlepoint.  Using yarn to adorn pre-made sheets of mesh employs blunt needles, so it’s better for babies who cannot be trusted to wield scissors and pins.

Little projects: Tissue-box covers, door-handle signs, lightweight “jewelry,” coasters and placemats.

Hello! Welcome to Stellar Stitches!

My name is Stella; I'm a queer neurodivergent fiber artist hoping to make a few extra dollars by selling some of my art. I make plastic canvas art pieces, a craft I've been doing for more than half my life. Plastic canvas is similar to crossstitch in that it uses a few of the same stitches and some patterns can easily translate between mediums, but very different in that plastic canvas is done on stiff grids of plastic and crossstitch is done in aida cloth. Plastic canvas can also make three dimensional pieces! I recommend simply searching "plastic canvas" on google images to get an idea of what's possible, or just scrolling this blog!

I post a mixture of pieces I've personally made, patterns I've designed myself, and pieces I'm interested in making. In some cases, I no longer have access to the actual piece I made in order to take my own photo, so I borrow the photo from the pattern I used to make it.

I also dabble a little in crochet and knitting, but I'm definitely only an amateur in those. I've been doing it for only a fraction of the time I've been doing plastic canvas and I haven't learned much yet.

Plastic canvas is excellent for things that are both functional and decorative or pieces that are purely decorative, and they make excellent gifts! They're lightweight and hand-washable if they get dirty.

I have a stock of regular items I make multiples of. These are usually keychains and magnets. Any other items will be made only on request. If there's something you'd like made that I haven't posted, you can definitely ask about it! Either send me a pattern (or picture depending on the item), or we can talk design ideas verbally.

My prices are determined by time needed for the item plus the cost of shipping. Time involved varies based on both size and complexity of the item- the more colors, variety and number of stitches, or pieces an item has, the longer it will take. Please feel free to ask questions if any clarification is needed!

Pre-shipping prices will be listed on each individual post, but a general list can be found here:

Keychains, pins, and magnets: $5

Coasters: $20 for a set of 4 and a holder, $3 for each additional coaster after 4

Tissue box covers: $20

Pencil Holders: $15

Hinged lid boxes: $10, $15, or $20 based on size

Boxes with separate lids: $15, $20, or $25 based on size

Flat shapes: $5 or $10 based on size/complexity

Flat pictures: $15 base, additional cost based on size and complexity of design. Optional framing for additional cost

Custom designs: Item base price plus $5 per hour for time spent designing (Ex: a tissue cover with a custom design would start at $25)

Payments can be sent via PayPal or Venmo. Message me for details

making a tissue box cover with plastic canvas and I designed the pattern myself :) hoping that I cut it to the right size but if it's too small I'll just turn it into a box I think

As MFA students who are due to graduate in May, Rebeca and I have been dealing with the question of what to do with all our art belongings once we are asked to vacate our studios. At the same time, in the last couple of years that I have been a student I have been dealing with what I call a "bad case of "Art Car", which means that my car is so full of supplies that I cannot comfortably drive myself from place to place (or offer any friends a ride to somewhere they may want to go). For this project, we decided to lean into both of these thoughts and fill my car with as much stuff from between my studio and Rebeca's. The resulting work in a delicately balanced combination of both our studio spaces, and in a way our entire identities since entering the program, reduced to the size of my car.

Although uncomfortable to confront the amount of stuff we both have accumulated these last three years (especially when it came to unloading the car and putting everything back...), I think this piece was a good exercise for us. We started to think not just about its value as an artifact from our specific experiences as art students, but also as an investigation of the art of collection/accumulation and how works of this nature can be understood by a non-art student audience.

Progress for my current tissue box cover project. The plastic canvas I got from Walmart, but the yarn I got from @michaelsstores - including some that I had to order through the app because the colors aren’t sold in stores. I’m using Loops & Threads Soft & Shiny yarn in various colors. The plan is for this to look like stained glass. The look is inspired from a project I saw on @knitandcrochetnow several years ago. I’ll be using a non-shiny yarn for the black. The last two slides show the patterns I created. I didn’t have any graph paper so I basically made some from an app that I guess was randomly installed on my iPad with the new iOS update 😆 #plasticcanvas #tissueboxcover #needlework #yarn #shiny #loopaandthreads #makeitwithmichaels #wip https://www.instagram.com/p/CoT-SUJOs_F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Next plastic canvas project. Mars asked for a bed for her toys (which does not include barbies ironically) so I had Mom send me a bunch and thought the bunk bed looked like it could be fun.

It will be dark green and not white, by Mars' request. I need more canvas though because this takes a ton of it. (A lot of it goes toward support to make sure the bed doesn't fall flat.)

I'm currently waiting for our local yarn place to open back up (the owners are apparently in vacation) to see if they have it before I buy it from an online craft store.
