Their number should depend on the number of colors. This will make your task much easier. Now it's time to pour the stones into a separate container. You can remove the protective film all at once. You can work with the canvas for a week. But if you think that you will not cope during this time, then remove it gradually. Lay out the stones one by one using tweezers. Do this according to the pattern.After finishing the embroidery of the first row, you need toalign it with a ruler. And so on each row, until you finish embroidering the entire canvas. After you finish the work, go over it several times with a rolling pin. Then you can spray a little hairspray, evenly and over the entire surface. This should be done for stronger fixation. So, you can decorate the picture. Here you can give free rein to your imagination. During the work, some surprises may arise. Also, defective stones may come across. The main thing is not to get upset ahead of time. After all, the set of consumables exceeds the required amount. Also, on the canvas there may be areas that are poorly processed with glue or it has simply dried out. Therefore, just in case, once again process the surface with silicate glue.
