Inspirational Decorative Plate Trio

April 27, 2010 | Crafts, Decorating | Add comment >>

Today I’m going to show you how to make a trio of Inspirational Decorative Plates for only $4.

Can’t beat four bucks!

While I was browsing the 99 Cent Store last week I stumbled upon this package of vinyl. It says,

“Live well, Laugh often, Love always”

I knew I wanted the vinyl, but wasn’t sure exactly what to do with it. Platters? Maybe a picture frame? Plates? I walked around the store and finally found these red plates.

The plates were perfect. They didn’t have a lip inside them, they were large, and they were a nice color. I’ll take them!

When I got home I cut apart the vinyl into separate words.

It’s so much easier to attach vinyl if you cut it out first so you can make sure it’s centered and square, etc.

I washed the plates really well and then arranged all my vinyl words on the plates. After that I just attached the vinyl to each plate.

So easy! This project took me about 20 minutes (or less) from start to finish. Aren’t they great?

I decided to hang them in my kitchen vertically on the wall.

I think they would also look great in a plate stand on a shelf or above your kitchen cabinets. Or you could hang them in a plate rack on the wall or horizontally above a door frame. There are countless ways to decorate with these plates.

(I’m not a fan of those metal plate hangers, but I’m moving in about a month and I plan on permanently putting the plates in a plate rack I have in storage, so I used the plate hangers temporarily.)

I just love how they turned out. And they look so professional! I still can’t believe they only cost me four dollars.

It’s not expensive to have nice home decor. You just have to use a little imagination. Before I went to the dollar store that day, I had no idea I’d be coming home with a new trio of Inspirational plates. I just try to keep my eye out daily for unique ways to use basic things.

I hope I’ve inspired you today!
