DIY Fall Themed Plates
Inspired by pointillism , fall shapes, and my love of plate walls, I gave myself a $10$ budget and got to work on my DIY fall themed plates! These were finished for under $3/plate! Yay! it's budget friendly!
Materials
- Four white plates
- Sharpies or porcelain markers
- Leaves or cookie cutters
- Rubbing alcohol
- Mod Podge Dishwasher sealent
Step 1.
Clean the surface of whatever you're drawing on (plate, bowl, cup, platter etc) with rubbing alcohol and let dry.
Step 2 - Draw the outline of your shape (leaf, cookie cutter etc.) by making small dots along the contour of the shape.
Step 3 - Start dotting the area around the contour in a densely packed manner, the further away from the shape you get, the less dots there should be.
Make sure you keep your dots uniform and avoid creating large blobs of dots by ensuring there is always some space between the dots.
Step 5 - Wait until dry and seal with mod page. Unless you're using alcohol ink pens, brushing any kind of sealant on will only smudge your hard work! If you used alcohol ink pens, then you seal with some mod podge!
Enjoy your beautiful fall plates!
