Once you have the icons on your home screen, strategically place them wherever you need to create the effect you're going for. Since the icons might be out of order, and difficult to place at first glance, it might take some trial and error before you match them perfectly. Think of it like a jigsaw puzzle and have some fun. With the right planning, you can place your apps anywhere in the grid. The results look great when still but remember — any motion will break the illusion.

To remove the placeholder icons, delete them like you would any app on your home screen. So, this works best when you have just one home screen page full of apps and folders.
