tomato slice.

White or off white
paper can be used for
onion.

Putting objects off

can help to create a
more realistic image.

Create a splash of
mustard or ketchup to
top off the hamburger.

Create a circle the same
size as bottom bun for
top of bun.
Lay off to side

14. Step 2: Drink and Fries
Using the same
techniques on the
hamburger begin
adding extras to the
plate like pickles, fries
and ketchup.
For the drink create a
simple straw and decide
what time of soda you
would like with your
meal.

15. Step 3: Placemat and Finish
Create a placemat for
your black tray to sit on.
The placemat also
makes a nice frame for
handing on a wall.
