[Nfb-krafters-korner] Decoupage

[NCBootman]

Thanks. I'll have to try that some day. A Christmas ornament might be to cut 
a circle and cover something to hang on a tree. Maybe like a tiny plate to 
be like a teaset item or to symbolize Santa's cookies and milk.

It can only be rinsed off.  No soaking it in water or it will come off.

That sounds pretty! Is the Modge Podge water safe? Could you wash this plate
or is it only decoration?

One fun craft I have done with my girls is a decoupage plate.  Using
1.  a glass plate,
2.   mod podge craft glue,
3.   and some seasonal fabric.

Cut the fabric so it is a little larger than the diameter of the back side
of the plate.  Paint a layer of Mod Podge on the front side of the fabric
and glue the fabric to the back side of the plate.  Flatten it out in order
to squeeze out all the bubbles. Trim the edges of the fabric to fit the
plate.   Then paint on another layer or two of mod podge on the back side of
the fabric.  Allow to dry.  You now have a seasonal plate that looks really
nice in a window, it sort of gives a stained glass effect.  Or set in the
middle of your kitchen table to bring in a little seasonal color.

We did this for Christmas, but it can be done for any holiday, Valentine's,
St. Patrick's, Easter, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day,
Thanksgiving, etc...
