Quick and Simple Upcycled Chargers
I upcycled chargers that I got at the thrift store to compliment my Christmas decor using my Christmas wrapping paper.
I found some gold chargers at the thrift store a while back. I got 6 for chargers for $3.00. If you don't have any to upcycle, you can get these at The Dollar Store. I really wanted something to add a little plaid to my Christmas table so I decided an upcycle was in order.
I have used Tartan plaid wrapping paper for Christmas so I decided to incorporate that pattern into my tablescape.
I used the charger for a template. I placed the charger on the wrapping paper. I cut the paper about an inch larger than my charger plate.
I painted some mod podge onto the front of the charger. I covered it completely.
I pressed the wrapping paper onto the charger. I smoothed it gently to get rid of any bubbles.
I flipped it over and added a little mod podge to the back. To finish off the edges.
I added a top coat of mod podge and set it aside to dry completely.
I layed on my favorite china and some pretty embellishments. Now I have a hint of plaid on my Christmas table to coordinate with the rest of my decor!

Love this, getting tired of my plain gold chargers. This is a really cute idea. And the greenery adds so much to it. Thanks!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What did you use as the greenery under the charger?
Could you use fabric instead of wrapping paper with the same Mod Podge?
Not exactly question about your chargers but how do you keep the colors from smearing when you are putting the Mod Modge on the picture?
I do like the charger you did.
