Note: These plates are for decoration only. Do not eat from them or put them in the dishwasher.
Materials Needed:
- dishwashing soap
- vinyl word decals
- painter's tape
- straight edge (like an old credit card)
Step 1
Wash the plates with soap and water; let dry.
Step 2
Position a decal on each plate. Use a piece of painter’s tape at the top of the decals to hold them in place. We used custom word decals (from 40 cents per letter, mywalldecals.com).
Step 3
Apply each decal according to the instructions, using the straight edge to smooth out any air bubbles.
