Tired of the same white dinner plates? We've got eight easy projects that will jazz up your table without breaking the bank.

To create a custom modern triangle border on a plate, cut out mismatched triangles from gold tape, then place them around the rim of the plate. Tip: It's best to hand-wash this plate or strictly use it as a charger.

Add a graphic, scalloped look along the edges of your plate with food-safe ceramic paint and a detail brush. First, start at one end of the plate, then work your way around. Next, create second or third layers by slightly changing the center point of each scallop until you've reached the perfect balance.

Bring a festive vibe to your next soiree by adding vibrant confetti to guests' dinner plates, then placing a clear glass plate on top. The confetti will add a metallic sheen, bold color and graphic shape to the table.
