Decoupaged Plate
Mod Podge, or other decoupage sealer/glue
Foam paint brush
Clear glass plate
Print cotton, or poly/cotton fabric (the amount you
buy depends on the diameter of the plate)
Razor blade
Newspapers
Coffee can or other object with a large diameter
Wash and dry the plate. Lay the plate on your fabric and move the plate around
until the pattern you see through the plate looks good.
Cut out the fabric. Leave about one inch of fabric beyond the edge of the
plate.
On newspaper, "paint" Mod Podge on the FRONT of the fabric.
Make certain to coat the fabric well.
On another sheet of newspaper, lay the plate face down. Spread the fabric
over the back of the plate. You should pick up the plate and look through it
to make sure you have the fabric positioned the way you want it.
Smooth out the bubbles in the fabric. Along the edges, smooth the fabric
over the rim of the plate.
Once you have the fabric smoothed and you are certain it is adhering to the
rim, place the plate face down on a coffee can or some other object with a large
diameter to dry. The Mod Podge will dry in a few hours, but if you can leave
it overnight, the excess fabric will be easier to trim.
Once the fabric is dry, trim the excess from the rim with the razor blade.
If you have gotten Mod Podge on the front of the plate, you can scrape it
off with your fingernail or rub it off with a dry, plastic dish scrubber.
The plate, of course, can't be submerged in water to wash it, but you can
wipe off the face with a damp cloth.
