Directions:
1. Wash and dry the clear plate.
2. Cut out the designs from the wrapping paper.
With the plate in front of you arrange the cutouts on the back
of the plate with the design facing you.
3. Spread white glue on the right side of the cutouts,
and place on the back of the plate in the arrangement that is
pleasing to you. Press firmly. Overlap the cutouts.
4. Now is the time to paste on the doily if you
want a lace looking border. Spread glue on the right side of
the doily, press firmly on the plate.
5. Take a damp cloth and cover the back of the plate
with it. Using a wallpaper seam roller, work from the middle
of the plate then towards the edges. Make sure to take out any
air bubbles. Let glue dry.
6. Take a dry sponge brush and paint the back of
the plate with two coats of paint. Allow paint to dry between
coats. After the paint has dried, paint the entire back with
black acrylic paint.
7. Paint with two coats of clear varnish, allow
to dry between each coat.
8. Sand the edges of the plate lightly with very
fine sandpaper to remove any glue or paint remnants.
**Just a note: Instead of
using wrapping paper you can also photocopy photographs for a
unique custom designed plate.
Cannot be used for putting
food on it. Do not wash in dishwasher or hot water. To clean
take a damp cloth and gently wipe. For decorative purposes only.
