Getting Started with Pixel Craft
Pick a guide and learn the tools, setup, and first technique for turning an 8bit pattern into a finished project.
Stitched grid designs
Plastic Canvas
Turn a gridded color chart into a stitched pixel-style design. Plastic canvas is a flexible craft material with evenly spaced holes, so each square of the pattern can be stitched in the right color. This guide teaches the core skills: threading a needle, filling color blocks with Scotch stitches, starting and ending yarn cleanly, and finishing the outside edge.
Tile-by-tile color work
Mosaic
Turn a gridded color chart into tile-by-tile artwork. Mosaic patterns use small tiles placed on a backing board to build a colorful pixel-style design. Each square on the color chart tells you which tile color to place.
Plush yarn texture
Latch Hook
Turn a gridded pattern into a soft, plush yarn design. Latch hook uses short pieces of yarn and a latch hook tool to make knots on a grid-like canvas. Each square on the chart tells you which yarn color to place on the canvas.
Painted square patterns
Paint Blocks
Turn a gridded color chart into clean, colorful square art. Paint Blocks use the same pixel-style patterns as our other crafts, but instead of stitching, placing beads, or cutting tiles, you paint each marked square onto a flat surface.
