Plastic Canvas Mesh Sheet | White | 20x13 Inch | 2mm | Pack of 1 - Bag Base

One large blank sheet you cut down to whatever panel your project needs. At 20 x 13 inch this is big enough to take a full tote front and back out of a single sheet, and at 2 mm it is the thickest sheet in this range, so a finished bag holds its shape instead of slumping. The grid is a wide open square mesh, which is what lets you work yarn straight through it rather than sewing onto it.

Specifications

Perfect for

• Bag and purse bases you cut to your own pattern
• Basket and storage box sides that need to stand up
• Tissue box covers and desk organisers
• Cross stitch, needlepoint and yarn weaving practice
• Stiffening a crocheted panel that will not hold its shape

Compatibility

Works with: crochet yarn, chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn, macrame cord, tapestry needles and crochet hooks. The wide grid takes thicker yarns comfortably, so chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn and macrame cord pass through without forcing.

Pairs well with: a second sheet when you want a front, back and base from one project.

Not suitable for: load bearing or structural use, and anything needing a heat rating, since none is stated for this sheet.

Before You Buy

• This is a blank sheet, not a pre cut bag shape. You cut and shape it yourself.
• No pattern, yarn, handles or hardware are included.
• The exact mesh count is not printed on the pack, so match your yarn to the photo of the grid.
• Cut edges can be sharp until they are covered, so work your first round of yarn over them.

How to Use

1. Draw your panel onto the sheet with a marker, following the grid lines so the edges stay straight.
2. Cut along the outside of a bar with sharp craft scissors, never through the middle of a hole.
3. Trim the little nubs left on the cut edge so the outline is smooth.
4. Work your first round of yarn over the cut edge to bind it, then crochet or stitch the rest.
5. Join panels edge to edge with a whip stitch or single crochet seam.
