fun party plates tutorial

Jenna came up with this fun idea for adding color and interest to clear plastic plates.  I like to call them:

Fun Party Plates in 5 Easy Steps

I really need to work on my product photography.  Trust me, THESE ARE MUCH PRETTIER THAN THE PHOTOS HERE. You'll just have to try them for yourself!

What you will need:

• paper cutter or a pair of scissors
• pretty paper [scrapbooking paper, wrapping paper etc] or fabric
• clear adhesive....we used Zots
• clear plastic plates....we used 6.5in square

1.  measure the bottom flat square area of your plate

2. using a paper cutter or scissor cut your paper in the dimensions of your measurement

3. Cut 4 [one for each corner] pieces of clear adhesive

4. With the right side of your paper UP place adhesive at each corner

5. Turn the plate over and carefully center your paper over the square BOTTOM and press the paper into place

6.  Flip your plate over and voila!

6. ENJOY!

Hi Gayla :)
hmmmmm....well we used them just as you'd use paper plates; we threw them away after the party

How pretty! I bet you could even use photos with the paper? I'm picturing a couple's photo with a pretty border for a bridal shower? Thanks for a great idea!
