[Nfb-krafters-korner] seed beads all that you've beenwantingtoknow and more

[Dixie]

When we did this craft, we would put the fabric on the bottom side of the
plate.  Then you can wash the top side of the plate, very carefully as long
as you don't get the bottom  side wet.

I called up Mod Podge support line and they told me that Mod Podge is a  
water base material and You should not wash it or pour paint in a jar and
use  
Mod Podge as a sealer on the inside and then burn a candle inside the glass 
 jar.   They have a support call in number to ask questions.

What are  seed beads?  Are they something you make necklaces and bracelets 
out  of?  Are we doing any ceramics or clay type classes? Just curious.   I 
still don't have a good concept of all the crafts this group does.   I 
liked 
the snowy candle holder craft.  That is more of the kind of  things I've 
done 
in the past.  That was years ago though.  I  have added the simple 
directions 
here below.   We had a craft  class one time at church and that is where I 
learned to do this simple  project.  I made a fall themed decorative plate. 
The fabric has  colored leaves on a tan background. It is really pretty. 
Made them with  different fabric for family members and they loved them.  
You 
could  make a matching set with turkeys or pilgrims for thanksgiving!  It  
would certainly brighten up conversation.


Fabric decorated  plate
You can do this technique on cups, bowls, platters etc.  Just  make certain 
it is a CLEAR item  with no colored designs and  glass.  If you are doing 
this to jars or goblets, pitcher, etc., put  the fabric on Patterned Side 
Out 
so the colors show.  For dishes  holding liquid, the inside doesn't matter 
so 
much as the outside and is  easier to adhere to the outside, seal, etc.. 
This will make more sense as  you read the directions.

Required:  1 clear glass plate, patterned  fabric of your choice cut a 
little 
wider than the  plate. a bottle of  Modge Podge, sponge brush to apply. 
steel 
wool

1.  You can buy  clear glass plates at dollar tree.  Wash well and let 
completely  dry.
2.  Turn your plate upside-down and  trace the rim of  the  plate.  Cut 
out. 
This should be a little larger than your  plate so it will adhere well to 
the 
bottom of the plate later.  You  will see why!  I used a fall colored 
leaves 
pattern with a  tan  background for mine.
3.  On a level, protected surface turn your plate  with the eating side 
down. 
Place a thin layers of Modge Podge over the  entire bottom.
4.  Immediately place the material, patterned side down  over the plate 
bottom.  Smooth wrinkles so it adheres flat and snug  on the plate.  Let 
dry.
5.  Now we will seal the fabric in  place.  This also waterproofs the 
project.  When completely dry,  smear a thick layer of Modge Podge over the 
entire bottom over the fabric.  Don't worry about your technique; just make 
sure no fabric is  missed.   Let dry.  Modge Podge dries clear.  Clean up  
your mess while it dries.
6.  Grab that steel wool ball and scrub  down the layer of Modge Podge.  
This 
will take out the bumps and make  the surface shiny as a bald guy's head. 
For those with sight you should be  able to see the pattern if you flip the 
plate over and look at the eating  side.  On the bottom you will just see 
the 
backside of the  fabric.
8.  Add another layer of Modge Podge to the shiny bottom and  let dry.  
Make 
sure you cover the entire surface to seal  well.
8.  Scrub with Steel wool again when thoroughly dry.   Slather your last 
layer of Modge Podge and let completely dry.
9.   Now it's almost done!  Scrub with the steel wool until shiny surface.  
Wipe down anything on the front and then package for that Christmas gift  
for 
the kid's teacher or add a candle jar to the middle and use as a  
centerpiece.
