To Assemble
Assembling your altar is easy! Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Identify your pieces: Take a look at all the parts of your altar.
2. Lay the biggest piece, the altar wall, flat on your workspace.
3. Grab the table sides, the ones with the cut-out papel picado design.
4. Apply glue and join them to the altar wall.
5. Locate the second shelf and add glue, carefully sliding the piece in.
6. Take the base and attach it to the assembled altar.  Use trigger clamps to ensure everything is securely held together.

Almost there! Now let's add the ofrendas:

7. Place the cempasúchil (marigold) on the marked spot on the altar wall.
8. Grab your photo frame and place it on top of your photo. With a pencil, trace the outline of the photo on the frame. Cut the photo along the outline marks.
9. Glue the frame to the altar wall and attach the cut-out photo inside the frame.
10.  Finally, glue the ofrendas to their bases. 

There you have it! Your altar is ready to be adorned and displayed with love and creativity. Enjoy the process and honor your loved ones in a special way.

You'll need wood glue or tacky glue (follow the directions on your container) and trigger clamps to press and bind the parts together.
