In the photo above the corners of the Challenge Ornament have been trimmed to within 2-4 threads of the edge of the border. Cutting the corners off allows you to fold the bare canvas under to the back side.
Before you actually fold the corners back permanently, fold the bare canvas all the way around the square edges (top side) and then fold the corners back (bottom left). Pressing them to the back with your fingers makes a crease that helps hold them in place better in the next step. If you study this folded over photo carefully, you'll see why you don't trim the corners any closer to the design than 3-4 threads of the bare margin--it starts to fray.
