Cut three pieces 9 by 9 holes from plastic canvas.
Stitch the background first before stitching the Snowflake/Star. The example with just the Snowflake/Star is to clarify placement of stitches. Pay attention in the corners of the background as there aresome single stitches to allow the Snowflake/Star can go on top. When finished stitching the pieces should look like the bottom row. Then stitch the three pieces together to make the Snowflake/Star.
