I solved it by setting mine up on a large resturant serving trays (from the
school cafeteria). A large piece of board would also do. These can be stored
under the tables. I secured the items with rolled pieces of masking tape on
their bases so they wouldn't move. Then I marked the perimeter of the tray on the
table where they were placed for the drawing. I could place them down in the
same spot. This ensured that the view would be the same each time.

Hope this idea helps.
