Understand how to read the canvas:
The canvas consists of small, colorful and numbered boxes, similar to a cross-stitch canvas.
Each number corresponds to a stone color.
At the edge of your picture you will find a table in which every number or symbol to be found is listed.
These are assigned to the corresponding numbers that you can see on the back of the little stone packet.
Unroll the canvas and place it on a flat surface.
If the canvas doesn't want to lie flat, roll it up the other way around and then roll it out again.
Place them on a flat surface and secure the corners with painter's tape if necessary.
Peel off some of the film covering the canvas.
Don't peel off all of the foil. 2 to 5 cm will be enough. Run your fingernail along the foil to get a crease in it so that it doesn't curl any further.
Look at the portion of the canvas you just exposed.
Find a box to start with and look for the number in it.
Find the number in the table, then find the parcel with the same number.
Open the package and pour some of the stones into the bowl that came with the set.
Lift the foil on the adhesive pad and punch out some of the glue / wax with the application pen. This makes it possible to pick up several stones one after the other with the pen. You don't have to pick up new glue / wax after each stone. Only when the glue / wax no longer absorbs stones.
Use the pen to pick up a stone.
Gently press the tip of the pen onto the top, faceted part of the stone.
Move the pen up and away from the bowl. The stone should stick to it.
Place the bowl right under the corner of the canvas. This will make it easier to get at them.
Carefully press the stone onto the corresponding box.
Take the pen away and the stone should stick to the canvas.
If you're just starting out, it might be a good idea to just press lightly at the beginning. This way, if the stone slipped, you can slide it back into place and then push it down to secure it.
It's just like painting by numbers, only you use stones instead of paint.
Fill in the remaining boxes in this section.
Always work with one color at a time and, if necessary, punch out further parts from the adhesive plate so that you can continue to pick up stones.
When you're done filling all of the boxes with the same number code, move on to the next color. This allows you to work faster and be more organized.
Avoid placing your hand on the canvas. The more you touch the sticky surface, the less it will stick. Remove more of the foil and fill in more boxes.
Continue filling in the canvas using the same technique as before. Work in 2 to 5 cm wide sections, one color at a time. When you've completed one section, move on to the next.
Do not remove the entire foil cover, otherwise the glue on the canvas will get dirty and no longer stick.
This is done until the picture is completely covered with stones.
!!! Your work of art is finished !!!
Don't be surprised, there will be some stones left over as we always make sure that more than enough stones are included in each set.
Have lots of fun with it.
