Free Plastic Canvas Rodeo Patterns
Get free plastic canvas patterns in rodeo themes. Original patterns by Dancing Cowgirl Design free to download, print and sew.
I designed and made a rodeo out of plastic canvas. If you have read any of my other articles, you know that I have a deep love for all things western.
One of my passions is crafting and I reference a lifetime of rodeo and western lifestyle when creating things.
After I built a doll house out of plastic canvas, I had much better knowledge of how to construct a project on my own. So I decided that I would make some rodeo coasters and ended up with a rodeo arena and accessories for a table centerpiece.
I hope you enjoy a look at what I have made and that you will try a few of the free plastic canvas patterns that I am releasing.

My Barrel Racing Photo Turned Into A Coaster
Making My Own Patterns
How this got started was when I looked around for some western themed patterns and wasn't able to find what I wanted. I found some design software that would let me scan in my photo and it would convert it into a pattern. That was not the total solution though.
I wanted my patterns to look as good as possible, so I did some tweaking to the patterns that I made with the software. With an eye for what it needed to look like, I felt like some stitches needed to be changed up a little.
On other patterns I drew out a rough sketch onto the canvas with a magic marker and started an outline. I put stitches in, took them out and replaced them till I was happy with the finished project.
The coasters came pretty easy once I got going. The design and construction of the arena took a bit of time and patience and was all done without the help of software.

Plastic Canvas Rodeo Arena With Accessories
This arena is made totally from plastic canvas. It is large enough for standard placemats to fit inside.
The bucking chutes on one end hold coasters and the opposite end near the announcers stand holds the blue jean pocket with napkin and silverware.
I was thinking of salt and pepper shakers when I made covers to fit on mini spice jars that look like barrels used in the barrel racing event.
A smaller barrel represents the one clowns use during the bull riding. That is for toothpicks.

Construction Of The Announcer Stand
I wanted to show some of the construction that went into my project. These pictures show where I built the announcer stand and connected to the bucking chutes.
Free Plastic Canvas Rodeo Event Patterns
Most pattern books are printed with symbols substituted for colors to be used in each space.
I tried making some patterns that way and it was harder and very time consuming. You will find that my patterns will look like the example on the right with colored lines instead.

Rodeo Coasters
Do you like steer wrestling or bull riding? Those or just two of the patterns I created using plastic canvas. The contestant back number coaster could be made in most any combination of colors.
