Yesss! Pixel Art converts great to cross stitch, with a few considerations. There may be some frustration when converting to the available thread colors, but limited color palettes aren't exactly new to pixel art. ;) The other thing to look out for is colors with too few pixels or single pixels off by themselves. They can be greatly effective in pixel art, but are annoying to stitch!

I have a hard time fitting regular jump rings through the plastic canvas, any tips for that? I personally prefer the keychains over the cell phone clasps with the cord, though the clasps look easier to get into the plastic. I know 14 count is a small hole so it's hard to cram the jump ring through. Thanks!
@Sirithre3 ай бұрын
Not really a tip for that tbh, they are indeed small holes. You can get thinner jump rings as the join to a keychain ring, or just kinda push them through carefully to avoid ripping the hole.
Thanks for the video! Question: when making something like earring or hair clips where its foing to come in contact with body oils, do you finish the piece with anything? Or have you not found that to be an issue. Thank you!

I haven't found it to be a big issue, and they are technically washable since DMC is colorfast and plastic canvas is... well, plastic. They'll just look discolored until they dry off a bit. ;)

@Sirithre3 жыл бұрын
I've seen small things made from normal aida too! But the edges will fray if not treated. I'm not sure what would be best though. I'd stick to a full square rather than cut out shape, for stability. Then backstitch around and stitch it together on the edges like you would a biscornu (see my other video). That way the edges are on the inside and can't fray as easily!
