Add the larger items {meats & cheeses} to the small board. Then place the crackers on the board.
Next, arrange fruits and vegetables around the meat and cheese. Add a small bowl of dip. Then place olives and pickles {or whatever you prefer}.
Fill in any empty areas with candy and cookies. Finally, go back and fill in any areas and add fresh herbs and edible flowers. Serve or cover for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Get creative with what you use for the small boards. Mini wooden boards are super adorable and functional. BUT a dinner plate, salad plates and shaped plates are also fun.
Keep the size of every item small. The foods shouldn't be too large because you want to be able to add an abundance of foods on a small plate and not just a couple items.
Always start with the larger and main ingredients first. Adding the meat and cheeses first allows you to arrange all of the supporting ingredients around them.
Go back and add in smaller foods like nuts to fill in any empty spaces. To get a lush and gorgeous mini charcuterie board it should be full and covered.
