What You Will Need

  • Plain white ceramic plates
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Printer paper
  • Gold Sharpie marker
  • DecoArt Multi-Surface paint
  • Americana Decoupage Outdoor Formula

Instructions

  • Use rubbing alcohol to clean your plate and remove any unseen residue.
  • Print the image you want to use on plain printer paper and tape it to the front of your clear plate.
  • Trace the image onto your plate with a gold sharpie marker. Use the marker to also fill in your image.
  • Paint DecoArt mutli-surface paint right over the top of your sharpie marker drawing. Paint at least two coats onto your plate, allowing each coat to dry completely.
  • Add a couple of layers of Americana Decoupage Outdoor formula to help protect your design. Allow each layer to dry completely. This is optional, but I recommend doing it.
