The placement of utensils is guided by the menu, the idea being that you use utensils in an "outside in" order. For the illustrated place setting here, the order of the menu is:
Gather the items you plan to include in your arrangement. Using a large sheet of kraft paper (or grocery bags), place each item on the paper, then trace around the items individually. Remove the objects and cut out the tracings. Mark where the hook on the frame is with a pencil on the kraft paper. Tape the paper cutouts to the wall with painter's tape in an arrangement to your liking. Rearrange the shapes until a final layout is reached. Hammer the nails into the marked paper, then remove the paper cutouts. Hang the art or photos on the nails.
