Reuse old plates

I bought some new plates and decided to reuse the old ones in a decorative manner. (upcycling is fun and good for the enviroment :D )

I should've taken a picture to start off with but it was a blue rimmed plate... I just used a bit of white craft paint to prime it.

Yes, just craft paint, I usually get it on sale 2 for a Dollar over at Michaels, I love that store. Anyway I painted the whole paint blue, doing a couple of coats on each plate.

Then I printed out some pictures, I love The Graphics Fairy for this. :)

Mod Podge it on, use a few coats. (I think I needed four.)

TADA!!!

These I made using the free stencil from http://thecsiproject.com/2010/05/18/jens-quatrefoil-paint-projects-free-printable-stencil/ <--- Clickie it if you wanna see!!

I am super proud of myself.... now I need to hang them or something LOL!
