How to make your own decorative plate 

 

Start off with a clean plate.  Wipe all the smudges and dust with a paper towel and alcohol.

Cut your material to cover the entire back side of your plate.

Apply a good amount of Mod podge to the back of the plate.  Using a generous amount, spread the Mod podge evenly on the entire back side making sure to get the edges.  I found it sticks better when you apply more on the plate.

Center the material, (pattern side down), onto the glued plate.  Pressing the material firmly on to the plate.  Keep rubbing until the material is securely attached.

 

Let dry for several hours, turn the plate over and trim off the excess material.  I tilt my scissors to get a close cut.

Apply another coat of Mod podge to the top of the fabric.

Let dry for several hours.

Finally, when the Mod Podge is dry, your plates are done!   I did not use dishwasher safe Mod Podge because I am using mine for decorative purposes only.
