One 12 × 18 holds all 16. Two 8 × 12 sheets hold 9 and 7. A 4 × 6 holds two tiles, so a partial set costs only as many cheap prints as it needs. Tiles are printed at their final cut size, 2 × 3³⁄₁₆ in.

- Cut along the thin grey lines with a paper cutter or scissors. Each tile is exactly 2 × 3³⁄₁₆ in, the size of the template cut-out. Cut on the line or a hair inside it so the tile drops into place. Only filled windows are printed, packed in order.
- Set each tile into its cut-out on the template, picture facing the glass. The front mat shows the middle 1.7 × 2.3 in. Each tile has its number printed in the top-left corner, inside the strip the mat hides.
