Plastic Canvas Calendar Craft
A long time ago, my very crafty Grandma Lucy made a plastic canvas calendar for me to match my room decor at that time. My grandmother’s crafts will show up numerous times on this site as she had a multitude of crafts that she enjoyed making. This calendar was made using two large sheets of white plastic canvas and blue plastic canvas was used for the month titles, weekday titles and numbered days. She used dark blue yarn for all the stitching. She included two little plastic bears as a decoration at the top right corner because I was a little girl at the time she made this, however, my tastes have changed over the years and since they were getting quite old, I have changed the decorations to various forms of stars which match the blue plastic canvas parts of the calendar. If you are interested in plastic canvas projects, visit AllCrafts for numerous projects and free patterns. Also, AOK Corral Craft and Gift Bazaar has some nifty how-to instructions for getting started with plastic canvas crafts.

I tried to use the links but everything is expired or no longer available. Can you help me locate one of these old time calenders made by grandma? Please let me know if this is possible.
Thank you,

I updated my link to reflect the new location for the calendar craft pattern on http://www.craftingranny.com. Thanks for leaving this comment and bringing this to my attention. There are also other links at the bottom of my post to general crafting pattern sites which should also have plastic canvas calendar patterns.
Would love to see your craft when you are done so come on back and leave another comment so we can see your calendar. Happy Crafting!
