15+ Free Plastic Canvas Valentine Patterns

Here is a page full of plastic canvas Valentine patterns to keep you busy during the long dark evenings of winter.

These DIY Valentine’s Day patterns range in difficulty, so there is something for every level of stitching. Plastic canvas is “needlepoint”, but rather than being done on finely woven fabric with thin wool, it is made with plastic canvas and thick yarn.

Needlepointing on plastic canvas allows the stitcher to make 3D objects, as opposed to flat, sewn pieces.

This page has plenty of links to making plastic canvas hearts, and they are all very different.  The plastic canvas heart shapes can be purchased at craft stores, and it is also possible to cut your own heart shapes from a larger sheet of plastic canvas that you might have on hand.

Plastic canvas Valentine patterns showing how to cut out the hearts from larger sheets of plastic canvas can be found below.

Each heart pattern shows different ways to fill the hearts in, using a variety of stitches. Some show how to make ruffles around the heart shapes, and others are unique in that they allow the plastic canvas to show through as part of the design.

However, heart shapes are not the only projects below.  Scroll down to take a look at the plastic canvas Valentine patterns to make adorable baskets and totes.  They would be just perfect to hold Valentine’s Day treats and gifts.
