Decorative Glass Plates

Mod Podge decorative plates.

materials- clear glass plate (got ours at K-mart)

paint

mod podge

paint brush

scissors or circle cutter

HOW TO

1. clean your plate, allow to dry

2.  cut a picture you like into a circle, just smaller than the size of the inside circle part of the plate. Paint just on the outter part of the inside rim of plate (where the picture will be).  you don't need a lot of paint here, just enough to cover the edges of the picture and blend it in.

3.modpodge picture to plate- use a popsicle stick to help smooth it out and push out air bubbles. allow to dry.

4. modpodge back of picture to help protect it. allow to dry.

5.  paint.  we did a multi tone paint.  so, start with your lighter or main color paint  sponge brush the rim of the plate. allow this color to dry.

6.  repeat paint step with each additional color.


7. once dry, cover with mod podge to seal it.
