Find the middle of your aida square by folding in half, then half again. Start from the middle point - which is the black window of the postbox, then build your cross stitch around it. Use two strands of thread for all cross stitches. You will need black, dark red, bright red, orange, brown, white, dark green and pale green.
Add some foliage - you don't have to keep to the exact pattern!
