Allow to dry completely.<\/li>\n<li>Cut a piece of freezer paper that is exactly the size of the foam core board. Use the clear ruler and pencil to draw evenly-spaced marks to form a grid on the paper. The spacing of the lines will depend upon the size of the frame you are using, but for my 18&#215;24&#8243; frame, I spaced my lines 1\/2&#8243; apart. Note: There are some large grid papers available at many crafts stores that could be used as a substitute, but I opted to create my own so I didn&#8217;t have to drag all of my kids to the store. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>Using the alphabet templates as a guide, create a design with your preferred lettering on the paper. <strong>Important: Be sure to use a pencil for this step, because it is likely you will need to make a number of adjustments for spacing, wording, etc.!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>When you are happy with the design, trace over the pencil marks with the Sharpie, also drawing a dot at each of the corners of the boxes that contain an &#8220;X&#8221;, as shown.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Use the masking tape to affix the prepared freezer paper design onto the foam board, making sure the design is centered and positioned exactly where you want it. Use the thumb tack to punch through each of the black dots you made in the previous step. Remove the freezer paper from the board.<\/li>\n<li>Now, the fun part: stitching time! Thread the darning needle with yarn, and, using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhg.com\/crafts\/embroidery\/basics\/the-basic-cross-stitch\/\" target=\"_blank\">basic cross-stitch,<\/a> stitch the design,
