Add items creating a triangle or “pyramid” shape. Create multiple pyramids that overlap each other. Keep items close together.

Gather items from all other categories that match the theme of the inspirational item. **COLOR IS NOT A THEME**

Choose a key or “inspirational” item that will dictate the theme of the display. 20” maximum height.

Things to remember: 1. COLOR IS NOT A THEME 2. Keep items close together 3. Choose items off all types and sizes. 4. Be careful of clear or items you can see thru (candelabras), they are hard to work with. 5. Be careful of items with large bases, they are hard to get things close to. 6. All displays face forward – One sided.

Continue to layer in pieces until shelf is completely full. Entire Display should form a triangle.
