While walking through Target earlier this week I spotted the cutest Christmas Appetizer Plates and I knew I wanted some!  Now I know they are already really inexpensive, but I am trying to downsize the amount of stuff I have at home.  So I didn’t want to bring home more stuff.  So instead I used a few things I already had around the house, including some vintage plates I picked up at the thrift store several months ago for $0.35 each.   After adding a few other crafting supplies I already own, I was able to make these adorable plates in 10 minutes!  How awesome is that?!?

To start my project I grabbed my computer and my Silhouette Studio software and made my design.  After double checking the size of each word against my plates I sent the file to my Silhouette machine to be cut.

Once all four words were cut, I trimmed around them being sure to save all my vinyl scraps for another day.  Then I weeded my design and applied my transfer tape.    Next I applied each decal to my plates using the edge of a credit card to press the vinyl securely to each plate.

That’s it!  I told you it was a fast and simple project!  The only thing left to do was set my table using some ribbon scraps and a few sprigs of my bush.  Then I sat back and enjoyed  these adorable plates!

    1. Hi Anna!

      You can eat off of them, but I do recommend hand washing them gently. I made bread/dessert plates so they would get less use therefore be less likely to be messed up. I also chose to use permanent vinyl but for a more permanent/hardy application you can use heat transfer vinyl. This will actually melt onto the plate when heated. For a more in depth tutorial on applying heat transfer vinyl to glass check out Silhouette Schools post http://www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2015/07/applying-heat-transfer-vinyl-on-glass.html
