With Old Plates and Saucers...

We all have old plates, saucers, trays, with cracks or chips... But they can always be useful! Look at what I did with them... I will start with the most challenging sample, but then you will see simpler ones...
This tray was no longer used for its chips in the edges. But there is always a second chance!
I started by choosing nice napkins with flowers for decoupage. Cut and glued them with a special material I found at the craft store: a bakeable medium, originally used to paint on ceramics and porcelain. In this case I applied medium on the tray, then pressed napkin flowers on and gave another coat of medium.
I painted the word with acrylics mixed with the same medium.
and "baked" for a few minutes. This makes a sort of crystal cover on decoupage.
I wanted a chalkboard in the centre of the tray. So I covered edges and painted with blackboard paint.
And this is what it looks like now, ready to be hanged in the kitchen!
and this is another sample with napkin decoupage
Look at all of them together! I had fun doing this!
