The areas to be worked with diamonds is printed in the form of a chart similar to a counted cross-stitch chart. Each colored diamond corresponds to a symbol on the chart. Take the diamond stylus and dip it into the wax pot. Pick up a diamond from the caddy making sure to place the head of the stylus on the rounded side of the diamond. Place the diamond on the corresponding symbol on the chart. The adhesive surface makes it easy to place and stick the diamond down. ~ Transcript from video tutorial by www.needleartworld.com - video available HERE.
