DIY: Fabric Decoration Plate

It’s that time of year again. The time everyone gets their craft and Mod Podge on. I just heard about this project and I love it! This is a perfect, inexpensive, custom, creative and special gift idea. After everything is said and done, this project cost about $3 a plate. These plates are so easy to make too! It took me just 20 minutes to make four plates. You can even add on your custom touch my drawings or quotes.This project is easy and fun so enjoy!

What you need
Matte Mod Podge (or Gloss, Hard Coat, Outdoor, Satin, Shimmer or Sparkle)
Fabric Scissors
Fabric Piece 12x12
Sponge brush
Glass plate
Wax Paper
Puff paint (optional)
Sharpie or Fabric Markers (optional)

STEP ONE
Clean the plate a 20 minutes before starting the project. (To ensure the plate it completely dry when starting the project) This includes stickers. (I used Goo Gone to get rid of the tags) You can make the plate more personal by drawing on the fabric with a sharpie or some fabric markers.

STEP TWO

On your wax paper, lay the glass plate upside down. Using the sponge brush mod podge the back of the plate. (Be generous) Make sure to get every little piece, especially  on the edges. (If your wax paper doesn’t get mod podge on it then you need to get closer to the edge)

STEP THREE

Flip your fabric upside down and lay it on the plate. Starting from the middle press the fabric firmly to the plate until you get to the edge. Let the plate sit for about 20 minutes while it dries.

STEP FOUR

Now it’s time to trim the fabric! Trim the fabric with the scissors angled behind the plate.  

NOW YOU ARE DONE!

STEP FIVE (optional)
Put your favorite quote on the plate with your favorite puff paint! You can also add a bow to the plate! Add your creativity and spice to it!

I used mine as a charger for my jewelery holder in my room!

My mother used hers to decorate her kitchen!
