We started our montage of images by placing a large cut-out in the middle of the tray and then adding smaller pieces around it – working from the middle outwards.

When gluing, be sure to cover each piece of the image entirely with glue. Don't worry if you get blobs of glue on the surface of your montage, as you can sponge off the excess as you go and the glue dries clear. Sponge off the excess frequently while building up the montage of pictures.

If your tray is round like ours, to cover the upper edge of the tray you will need to carefully ease the paper around. This is easiest done by using narrow elongated pieces.

After we covered our entire tray, we glued a final centerpiece on so it had no overlapping pieces on that image. At this stage, check again for any excess glue that will need to be wiped off.

Allow to dry. We recommend leaving to dry for at least 48 hours before applying resin.
