Decorative Plate Made With Starch and Fabric

I love the Dollar Tree/Store!

I know it runs in our blood because my daughter just told me her favorite outings with her grandmother (my mother) when she was a little girl - were to the Dollar Store.

Here is a craft that will cost you about $1.10, 

but has big dollar appeal.

Simply take a glass plate from the Dollar Tree

cut out a circle of fabric the size of the center of the plate

wet the fabric with liquid fabric starch

smooth the fabric onto the plate

and let dry.

Isn't this stunning?

When you are ready to do something different, 

just wet the plate and peel the fabric off.

My kind of decorating!

Thanks for stopping by,

Lavender Tub Tips 


If there are bubbles in the fabric when it has dried, slightly dampen the bubble and lay the plate - fabric side down on a flat surface.


Also, if the frayed edge of the fabric is noticeable, dampen the edge and smooth the threads in place.


Should you have dried starch on the clear part of the plate, just wipe off with warm water and a paper towel.
