9)  Move the baseplate down to the next rectangle and cover all the symbols as for the first baseplate (see picture 4).

10)  You have now finished page 1. Using the same process work you way through the rest of the plate.

11)  When all of the pages for baseplate 1 are complete there should be no gaps left on the baseplate. If there are, go back through the pages lining the plate up until you find the correct colour to place in the gap(s). It takes approximately 5 to 6 hours to complete a baseplate (see picture 5).

12)  If you are working on a design larger than one baseplate, continue as before starting with the first rectangle for baseplate 2 repeating for subsequent baseplates.

13)  When all baseplates are complete, rub over with your thumb (or gently tap a smooth block of planed wood with a hammer) to ensure that all pixels are consistent. For multiple baseplate designs, carefully place the baseplates onto self-adhesive mounting board to complete the design (see picture 6).

HANDY HITS AND TIPS

•  A Pixel Square contains 140 pixels, a small loss of pixels can occur due to handling and transport. Extra pixels are accounted for in the kit to allow for this. In order to keep pixel loss to a minimum always work on a clean, flat surface (table, tray, etc.) and store pixels in a suitable container.

•  Try to keep the pixels straight as you are working. This is best done with a pair of tweezers and makes construction easier. Never push a pixel into place with the tips of the tweezers as this will damage pixels and spoil the overall look. If you damage a pixel pulling it off the pixel square then discard it as it will spoil the look of your picture. If you damage a pixel when it is pushed onto the baseplate you can carefully remove it with a small pin.

•  Be sure to keep your hands clean whilst handling the pixels as the lighter coloured pixels can be easily soiled. (Soiled pixels can easily be cleaned with a wet wipe or cloth).

•  Do not forget to take a break on larger designs as the hands and wrists can become tired.

DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE PARTS, THESE KITS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 6 YEARS
