Step 1:

Begin the backstitch by poking the needle up through the fabric, and then back down to make a single stitch. Then poke the needle back up through the fabric a space away from the first stitch, as if you were doing the running stitch.

Step 2:

Now poke your needle back down through the fabric at the end of the first stitch. This is the "back" part of the backstitch.
