Step one: Flip the canvas upside down and place the template inside of the frame.
Step two: Using the sharp tool, punch a tiny hole on all of the corners.
Step three: Paint the canvas with the color of Americana Acrylics you want. I painted my snowflake canvas with Whispering Turquoise and my Christmas tree canvas with Sour Apple.
Step four: Thread the needle with the yarn and start stitching. You may want to keep the template near by to reference as you work.
Step Five: When you have completed the cross stitch design, tie a knot at the last end on the back of the canvas.
