MILK GLASS PLATES FOR CHRISTMAS DECOR
Decorating with round plates has always been a ‘good thing’ for me. Finding them at thrift stores, whether it be vintage, modern or whatever is pretty and cheap, is a thrill for me. I display them as is all over the house and in a curio cabinet. Now that I have a cutting machine, I like adding vinyl decals on them.
I thrifted four milk glass plates and repurposed them as wall décor for Christmas.
I found the design I like (https://designbundles.net/free-design-resources/craft/christmas-round-ornaments-ii-10-svg-cut-files) and uploaded them to the Cricut Design Space. I resized the design to fit the inside diameter of the plate then cut it on a red vinyl with my Cricut Maker.
Weeded out the negative. I like using fine point tweezers as my weeding tool.
Used a transfer sheet that was cut the same round shape.
Transferred my decal onto the plate, removing the transfer sheet after.
I decided to weave some ribbon through the openings of the plates so it won’t look too plain. The 5/8-inch gingham ribbon was cut in half lengthwise to fit through the plate.
This is the finished project with a little added embellishments over the ribbon.
And here they are on a display plate rack.
