Specialty plates make for beautiful table settings, but it can be expensive to buy multiple sets of dinner plates. Use patterned paper and inexpensive glass plates to customize your own dinnerware to suit your decor perfectly! With this simple process, you can turn those plain plates into dishwasher-safe decoupaged plates!
DISHWASHER-SAFE DECOUPAGED PLATES
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE DECOUPAGED PLATES
I found my glass plates at Dollar Tree, but you can use any glass plate for this tutorial. The flatter the base of the plate is, the better, since flat paper adheres to flat surfaces without bubbles or wrinkling.
