Once you have your supplies, begin by laying out your canvas and smoothing it with a cloth or book. Then, place it under something heavy for a couple of hours to overnight to help straighten it out. Once your canvas is ready to work on, peel back a bit of the plastic cover, allowing you to work on just a section at a time.

Use the chart on your canvas to find the corresponding symbol and diamond color code. Then, use your applicator tool to carefully pick up a diamond drill and lay it onto the canvas over the corresponding symbol. As you continue working, you can pull off a bit more of the plastic cover and work on another section. Repeat this process until your canvas is complete.
