This past summer my daughter was talking about wanting to paint some holiday dishes, like ceramic classes. We looked into some in this area and were put off by the prices and the lack of options. So I suggested something I had run across on a blog somewhere.
Well, she was very excited and a couple of weeks ago we went looking for clear glass dishes which we found on sale. Then off to the fabric store for some Thanksgiving appropriate fabric.
For our trial run we just used some Christmas fabric I had on hand. I decided to get daring and add glitter which came out far too fast and guess what? It did not want to come back off of the Mod Podge coating! So my plate was not very good as the glitter prevented a good adherence. Kristy's however came out great.
So yesterday she started on her set of dishes. She is quite good at this and it went much easier this time. But it will take a few more sessions as she wants to do these small plates with a print and then dinner plates in a solid color. Possibly decorate some bowls as well and we are looking at a service for 12! Hmmm how many days until Thanksgiving? But they are coming out great. When finished they will all need to be sprayed with a sealant.
She is already thinking about future holidays. She has always been an overachiever! LOL
Meanwhile at the other side of the table I worked on a couple of my own crafts. Here is a photo of the tablets. The bottle caps will come later.
Kristy's dishes came out beautiful. They are extremely festive. I really like them. Your tablets came out great also. Nice to craft together and make things that you are having fun making.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a fun time. We wished you were with us. I washed the bottle caps that I punched yesterday so I can paint them next. I also have everything for making cinnamon ornaments as we both want to make some of those. Actually we have so many things we want to make it is unreal! But then you know how we are!
