Cut your plastic canvas into small rectangles, leaving extra space around the design for easy stitching.
Choose your pattern such as a stack of books, a globe, or a teacup and start stitching the outlines with darker thread for definition.
Fill in each color section, keeping your stitches tight and even. Then add fun details like book titles or tiny steam swirls from the cup.
Trim the edges neatly, then glue a felt piece to the back to hide threads.
Attach the finished design securely to the top of a paperclip using strong glue, pressing until it holds firm.
