Feeling Crafty

Spring always makes me want to start sewing or gardening or creating something. I think the idea fulfills my desire to be a part of the season that is all about creation.

Here is a great idea I found:

Decoupage Plates

Whether you use them on the table or hang them on the wall, these plates make beautiful additions to your spring décor.

What you’ll need:

  • downloaded templates (button for download link) or cool stuff to create your own
  • mod Podge
  • glass plates
  • small foam paintbrush
  • damp rag

Download and cut out the templates. Brush Mod Podge onto the front of the paper template. Lay the template face up and center the plate on top. The paper should stick to the plate right away. Turn the plate over with the paper attached. Beginning in the center, smooth the paper onto the plate. Allow the plate to dry.

You'll need glue-on hooks to hang these on a wall. Find these with the picture hanging supplies in your local craft or hardware store.
