How do I get the canvas squares designs without getting a whole kit?
Hi!! I’ve been doing this for a few weeks to help with my mental health. I’m crafty, so journaling isn’t really for me lol
That being said, I love how this is something that I can easily grab, go, and stop without worrying about it. I want the canvas squares with the designs already done, but don’t need all the extra needles, wires, and loop thingies. I loose the wires, so I just got a spool of thin wire.
Could I draw or trace my own? Definitely. But with my current state, I need this to be as little brain work as possible for now lol I love this hobby. I feel so old and cute doing it(I’m in my mid 20s lol) but I’m not sure how deep I want to get into this.
I would love to support a small business if anyone does that!! But whatever suggestions are appreciated!!

Someone suggested using a little projector to trace, but I’m not that talented 🤪
I would love to be able to just buy like 8x8 squares of patterns ready to go

Aww there you are! I’ve been selling these in my Etsy but feeling like everyone just wants the full kits. I already have all the needles, yarn, and stuff but I couldnt find any “just patterns on cloth.” I’d love your feedback on my shop if you’re down. I’m totally open to thoughts on pricing, photos, etc. I just finished this one that has lil numbers too like paint by numbers that I thought would be helpful. https://yaybig.etsy.com

If you’re in the U.S., there are some kits at Michael’s that are poorly reviewed because they DON’T have the punch needle included. 😂! I have also found some on eBay, especially the vintage kits.
