Plastic Canvas Icicle Santa

Contributed by Arleen Bevan Williams

Here’s a simple little plastic canvas icicle santa to make as a gift or to hang on your tree.

If you have some experience in plastic canvas crafting then this project will be easy for you. If you are just starting out, then this Christmas ornament icicle santa is small enough for you to learn basic stitches and plastic canvas techniques.

For beginners, I recommend watching the following how-to video from the craft experts at Hobby Lobby. You’ll learn how to make a double-sided keychain with full directions on how to begin stitching. The video than explains how to follow a pattern and how to whipstitch together a two-sided keychain (or, in our case, the back and front of an icicle santa).
