Squeeze my Cheeks Vintage Plastic Canvas Ornaments
I learned how to make these plastic canvas ornaments in the 1990’s when my grandmother taught my brothers and I how to make these kiss ornaments. We loved making these Kiss Ornaments so much that we made a giant Hershey Kiss Squeeze my cheeks ornament (for a giant Hershey Kiss) and other plastic canvas Christmas ornaments. I have the pattern for the mailbox and made a church, a barn, and more!
Nostalgic Christmas Ornaments
We would hang these Kiss My Cheeks Ornaments on our Christmas tree and on Christmas Eve, Santa would leave Hershey Kisses inside each one! It was a fun tradition that we follow now that I have children of my own 🙂
Once you learn how to use yarn to sew the plastic canvas, you can make other plastic canvas crafts like coasters, tissue boxes, and more!
How To Make Hershey Kiss Ornaments
These plastic canvas ornaments are cute gifts to give teachers, neighbors, and friends. It’s an easy craft that kids can do with a large yarn needle and a large square plastic canvas.
Supplies:
- Plastic Canvas
- Yarn in various colors
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
- Glue
- Wiggly Eyes
Directions:
- Gather Supplies. I highly recommend using these Plastic Canvas Sheets.
- Cut 3 squares. Count 10 squares on each side to get the correct size.
- Thread the yarn onto your needle by smooshing the tip of the yarn with your thumb and index finger into the needle.
- Start to weave in the upper right corner of one of the squares. Hold the “tail” in the back so you can weave around it to secure it in place.
- Stitch across to the left lower square.
- Continue to stitch down the row.
- Notice the back and how I stitched over the tail.
- When you reach the end of the row, continue to the next row as seen in the below picture.
- Continue to stitch across using the same square as the previous row.
- Once you finish the entire square, finish with a triple stitch in the last holes and stitch through the back to tie and cut off the yarn.
- Complete these steps until you have 3 squares.
- Make the “lips” for the ornament by weaving the outline of 2 corners on 2 squares.
- Put one of the lip squares on the non-lip square, wrong sides together and stitch the other side (leaving the lip side open).
- Do the same with the last square until you have the 3-D ornament.
- Finish the stitch inside the corner of the mouth and tie/cut off.
- Use yarn to create a loop at the top to hang as an ornament.
- Use glue to attach wiggly eyes.
- Add a Hershey Kiss inside and enjoy!
