HOW TO MAKE A CROSS STITCH PATTERN USING CANVA

Hello, welcome back to our blog. In the previous article, we shared two Arabic Calligraphy Cross Stitch projects which you can read here. In this article, we will share tutorial step by step how to make a cross stitch pattern using canva.

Canva is a design application that is easy to use for beginners and professionals. We use CANVA to create PIN and other design needs. When using Canva we are interested in the elements provided by CANVA. We often think what if we turned these elements into cross stitch. Until one day we suddenly got inspiration on how to make cross stitch patterns from the elements in CANVA.

In this article we will share step by step how to make cross stitch  patterns in CANVA. We made an orange cross stitch  pattern. Even though we made it with CANVA, not a cross stitch embroidery pattern maker application, the results are no less beautiful. Let’s just start the tutorial.

HOW TO MAKE A CROSS STITCH PATTERN

STEP 1

If you don’t have the Canva application, please download it first on Google Play or the App Store.

STEP 2

Once you have the Canva app, the next step is to create a new page. We use PIN size pages for Pinterest. You don’t have to use the same size options as us. Please adjust it to your needs.

STEP 3

The next step is to choose the elements that you will make into cross stitch patterns. In this article we choose oranges. We marked the oranges we chose with a pink dotted box.

STEP 4

After selecting the element, the next step is to resize and move the position of the orange. We increase the size of the orange and move it further up.

STEP 5

Add net elements.

STEP 6

Reduce the net size and move it to the top left corner. If the net size is smaller, the amount of embroidery will be greater. You can determine how small the box size is according to your wishes.

Then copy the net and arrange it so that it covers the orange.

The finished orange is covered with a net.

STEP 7

Add cross elements

Then reduce the size of the cross to fit the box.

STEP 8

Move the cross to the leftmost and topmost part of the orange.

STEP 9

Copy the cross then fill in the orange box with the cross. To put a cross on a picture of an orange, you might be wondering what to do with a box that only contains a few pictures of oranges. If the image fills 3/4 of the box then we put a cross, if it is 1/2 or less than 1/2 of the box we put a cross and some don’t. We determine whether it is cross or not according to our taste. You can determine it according to your taste and it doesn’t have to be exactly the same as what We made because in making this pattern you are free to be creative.

Once you have finished put a cross in the box. The next step is to color the cross. Color the cross according to the color of the orange image.

STEP 11

Once all the cross marks have been colored in, the next step is to delete the orange image. The method is to choose one of the nets and then position it at the back.
