Make Cute Holiday Fabric Plates Using Mod Podge!

[KevKevAllen]

You can also buy a Mod Podge brand sealer (comes in spray form) that will let you hand wash, but it should not be used on the side of the plate you eat off of.

:)

[KevKevAllen]

Thumbs up for Mod Podge!

I had rough edges when i got done, How can I prevent that on the next one?

[SarahMSQC]

@ashash2336 Turn your scissors at an angle and trim all the rough edges. Hope this helps!! :)

The dollar stores carry clear plates like those. Great project! Thank you:)

[CuppyCakeCoral]

Me and my grandma made these plates before. after the mod podge dried we sprayed something to the back so it would be sealed more

[crafty4all]

is it good for food and is it waterproof?

[carolynlaug]

This is awesome!!! I have been making them all day!!!

[SarahMSQC]

@carolynlaug So cool! We'd love to see a picture!! Have a great day!

[Dredworld]

Thanks for a great craft that I can do with my 3 granddaughters. great instructor!!

It looks like you used the matte finish mod podge, but i am not sure. So, do you use the matte finish mod podge or the glossy finish mod podge or any of the other ones??

[littlebitofeverythin]

This looks like such a fun project! Thank you for sharing. I love your videos!!!

[sharadtriyama]

It says "Mod Podge" but everybody says "Modge Podge" Why?!

[npsalm121]

@sharadtriyama the technique/type of glue is called modge podge, but that specific brand of glue is Mod Podge.

I have done this and the plates all stick together and even to the counter top. What have I done wrong?

[lmellis18]

I made these years ago--I also use a very fine sandpaper on the back after the fabric was all dry--then outside or a ventilated area spray the back with polyurethane spray. It makes the plate more washable--still no dishwasher. I also use a cool whip container or margarine tub to help hold the plate. I also used fabrics to match a room and hanger the plates with plate hangers. For example, my Mom had a sunflower in her kitchen and I used sunflower fabric.

Hi Jenny.

I LOVE this plate idea. Can you do this with photo transfer paper? This would be great for a child's picture.

I LOVE your videos! keep up the good work.

[ladyocti1]

this is a GREAT idea!!! you could do this with plates to hang on the wall for decoration!! OHHH...I had another idea for this...you could do holiday plates for all year round for really cheap! You can just go to the dollar store and get the plates and then to the discount section of your local fabric store. It would be great. Thanks

this is a GREAT idea!!! you could do this with plates to hang on the wall for decoration!! Thanks

I loved this video. I do the same thing with plain plastic or metal switchplate covers. I chosse a fabric that goes with the decor of the room and cover the switchplate with Mod Podge and I have a custom switchplate. No more boring switchplates!

Is it a certain kind of Modge Podge?

Thanks,

Susie

[susies1955]

What can I say? AWESOME. :)

[crskirk]

What about washing the plate? Will that make fabric come off? I assume don't put in dishwasher...

[jennydoan57]

@crskirk You can wash off the top but you won't want to immerse it or put it in the dishwasher. Unless you want to remove the fabric and start over!! haha!

[quiltma]

I DID IT! It was so much fun. We are having a placesetting challange at 2 of the guilds I belong to Christmas parties. And this was my inspiration. Thanks.

[heartsupnorth]

I love this! Fun project to do for those bits of fabric left that you have after another project that you just LOVE the pattern for!

[BeeBops53]

yet another " I can do it " great idea ! and having the visual of it being done, makes it great for me.

[mpenstone1]

Thankyou for a great idea! Makes me want to run down to my good will store and see if they have clear plates! Is Mod Podge similar to PVA glue? Can't wait to try it.

[EMGcrafter]

Fun idea!  Thanks!

[KatN2000]

Thank you so much!!!! The videos are great. Love'em.

Great idea. Now I know what to give to my son's teacher.

Man! Love it! I just hope I find Mod Podge in my town in Brazil :)

500 stars

Thank you for once again for making a wonderful informative video. Love your ideas, the techniques, patterns. Please continue to come out with more videos.

[Joyouslites]

I just LOVE, LOVE your videos. It gives me confidence that I can do so many projects. Now if I could just have about 3 months to stay in my house and use

all my fabric! LOL

Dank u wel! Thx, very nice!!

Astrid,

[moonlesslamb]

wow what a wonderful gift idea

[iswim2themoon]

Excellent! Consider getting clear plates from Goodwill, Salvation Army, or any second-hand store. I get dozens of clear plates from these stores. Usually 50 cents.

[pinkydoodleful]

Great idea but I don't recognise the name of the glue as I'm not from the USA, is it pva glue? I would love to give it a try!

[PinkGirlyGeek8705]

wonderful idea!!!! i just made one and i LOVE it

[sbkrjulietx]

I just imagined using iron-on transfer photo fabric on a plate :0) How wonderful would that be for the grandparents!!! No more picture frame worries :0)

[cbnfvr1]

I forgot to mention, "brayers" can be nice to smooth out the fabric after applying to a box or other flat surfaces. They are the hard rubber rollers with a handle sold in craft stores, "speedball" is a familiar brand name. They use these for printmaking. Have fun with your fabrics. Happy Thanksgiving!

[cbnfvr1]

I have done decoupage with my grandmother since childhood. There are so many things you can decoupage with fabric...boxes, "photo boxes", trays (think either wooden ones, or cardboard brown ones @ crafts stores). Just walk through the unfinished section of any craft store to see what you can decorate. I like fabric more than paper, as the quality of the designs are so nice. They aren't that hard to wrap as they are square (straight). Thanks Jenny for the great video to keep the craft going!

[granniebea]

This is a great idea. Thank you
