How To Decoupage A Plate With Mod Podge

Turn a glass plate into a pretty floral plate using flowers cut from floral scrapbook paper. In this video tutorial, we'll show you how to decoupage using Mod Podge. We'll also show you how to gold leaf the edges. Make one as a handmade gift for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day.
How To Decoupage A Glass Plate With Mod Podge
Materials
13″ glass serving plate
Floral scrapbook paper
Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge
Craft paintbrush
Gold leaf sheets
Gold leaf adhesive
White acrylic craft paint
Scissors
White paper
Tape
Pencil
Steps
1. Pick out some beautiful scrapbook papers that feature small flowers. Cut out a selection of flowers, about 25, plus cut out a few leaves and tiny flowers to fill in spaces.
2. Draw a heart shape on a piece of paper. Cut out the heart and tape it to the front of the glass plate.
3. Turn the glass plate face down. (We will work on the back of the plate.) Paint a coat of Mod Podge on the front of one of the flowers. Press the flower face down onto the back of the plate within the heart shape. Paint a coat of Mod Podge over the back of the flower. Decoupage little flowers into the heart shape until you have a complete heart made of flowers. Let dry.
4. To gold leaf the plate, paint a scalloped border on the edge using the gold leaf adhesive. Let the adhesive dry until it is clear. Use a dry brush to brush away the gold leaf. It will stick where the adhesive is. Repeat, adding more sheets and brushing away the excess. You can pick up and reuse the brushed away gold leaf bits. Keep adding sheets of gold leaf until all of the scalloped edge is gold.
5. Finish the plate by painting a coat of white acrylic paint all over the back of the plate. You may need to do two coats. Then coat that with Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge. Let dry.
Even though we used Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge, we haven’t put the plate in the dishwasher. We think it's too pretty, so we just hand wash it!
