DIY Custom Charger Plates
When you can't find what you're looking for at a good price just grab a can of spray paint and make it your own!
I found chargers like these chargers on sale for a pack of 6 but the only color available was gold leaf. Don't get me wrong, the gold was nice but didn't go with what I had in mind for the holidays.
I am a big fan of black and white so hammered black it is.
My dishes are white so this color will be perfect... and it will be slightly textured.
I started out by laying them out on a large piece of cardboard on the lawn.
Make sure it isn't too windy or you will end up with "stuff" in your paint.
I gave the plates 2 coats of spray paint, letting them dry between coats.
I didn't need to paint the backs because they were already black.
This textured color was just what I wanted!
When you can't find the right color, make them the right color.
I brought the chargers in the house and let them dry overnight.
The next morning I tried them out with my white dishes and they were just perfect!
The hammered black texture added to the look.
This is an easy project even the beginners can do!
You can read all the details including what I used and how they look now, even a sneak peek at my Thanksgiving table at Homeroad.net.
