Fabric Covered Dollar Tree Glass Plate, Great Gift/Holiday Table Decor

[@amythompson6869]

I’ve made some of these years ago and actually got some decent money for them back in my craft booth days. Love the look of the depth and brightness that the Mod Podge gives the material. You wouldn’t think so until you actually do the project. My plates had different birds on them & the red in the cardinals was gorgeous. Thanks for doing this project.

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Did you have access to the dishwasher safe Mod Podge back then? If not, how did you advise buyers to wash the plates...I get that question often....Sandy

[@amythompson6869]

Crafting For Almost Everyone If they had it back then I wasn’t aware of it. That’s been over 20 years ago so I doubt it existed back then. I just told them up front to either just use them for decoration or just put cookies on them & wipe clean but never immerse in water. Some that were just for hanging on the wall I used white plates & put the material picture on the front. I love your videos BTW!

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I think that's what I would have told people too, and still, even though these say they are dishwasher safe, I would probably still just rinse the top. I'm so grateful for your kind words and hope you'll find lots of ideas from my video collection...Sandy

May I ask how much you charged? I realize it was a long time ago, but I have leftover fabric from pillows I made for our church's women's conference. Thought this would be a great way to use it up! Thanks in advance.

Hey Ladybug, thank you so much for sharing this video. I was starting to do a plate for the first time but needed a reminder video. So glad I ran across yours because you were very clear about your instructions. I feel so confident that my plate will turn our right. Thanks a million

Wow what a cute idea!!! I love it. I am thinking I want to do this for so many holidays! Lovely decorating on a budget! TFS! 💗🙏🌺

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Another idea for you would be to buy the plain trivets that you can find at the DT and do the same with those...they make a great gift. They call them cutting boards, but you can use them as either a cutting board or use it when you're putting a hot dish on your table and you want to protect it. www.dollartree.com/clear-glass-square-cutting-boards-775x775-in/288725 They also sell round ones. You need to remove the feet to do this, and I've been making a video to show this but haven't finished it...should be up soon... Sandy

Thanks for the simple steps! I did try one with scrapbook paper and it turned out pretty good for my first attempt. But I love it with the fabric 💝

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I recommend a thinner fabric, as I just used a thicker one and it seemed to get foggy between the layers...that's the only thing I can think would cause it to happen...Hope you make one you really love. Sandy

Fabulous outcome. Thank you.

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I recommend thinner cloths, as those have a nicer outcome and adhere faster. Otherwise, you may have to reglue your edges down. Hope you make some, as they are a nice cookie plate gift and not too expensive to make.

[@terrie1226]

Great technique I didn't know they made dishwashing Mod Podge...what a lovely gift this would make during the holidays with home made cookie...well done Sandy and tfs

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I make chocolate colored strawberries and pretzels for friends for the holidays, and my girlfriends' birthday was Nov 2, so made a batch for her on the leaf plate. I think it would be great for cookies too, and just think how pretty a Christmas table would be with the glittery plates on it....Even if you used them for serving dishes, as you could cover bowls or anything really.....I left the link for the Mod Podge in case you have any trouble finding it any where besides Target. I went to all of the big craft stores in the city closest to us and none had the dishwasher safe, so I'm not sure if they are discontinuing it or it's just a big seller....

[@terrie1226]

Sandy, are you saying that Target is selling the Mod Podge

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Yes, I'm not sure if they have it in the stores, as I found mine online at target.com and put a link under the video in case you can't find it anywhere beside target.com.

[@terrie1226]

Thank you

[@Elizabeth45840]

Wow Sandy they are Absolutely Beautiful!

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

And so easy to make...well the brown material was easy...the berries and ivy material was hard to glue as the leaves were thicker than the rest of the material, so I had to cut the edges of a leaf to ensure the material wouldn't get bulges in it...

[@sandraeasley9354]

Love your video. I have made these plates for a couple of years. One suggestion, I put my plates on something stable to get it in the air. I find this easier to manipulate the fabric & be sure the edges are covered.

I've wanted to do this for a long time, but we never have glass plates, cups etc... in our home because of tile floors and things that get dropped. You may not know this but does the Mod Podge help hold glass together if it gets dropped?

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

If you still have the streaks after a couple of days, you might want to paint an additional coat of Mod Podge in the opposite direction of your original streaks. If your current streaks go up and down, then try painting a coat that goes from side to side....and that might help eliminate streaks. I hope that helps....Sandy

Not sure if you live in the US, but I couldn't fine the MP dishwasher safe, so went to Target.com and placed a $35 order for free shipping (in the US only).

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Your plates should dry clear over time. You probably have some Mod Podge trapped between the layers and it should dry out...sometimes it takes longer than you'd think for that to happen. I hope it's worked out for you since yesterday and that your plates are now clear...

[@teresastewart9747]

SOS - I NEED HELP ASAP: I modged podged the fabric to the back of my plates yesterday afternoon and let them dry ALL NIGHT LONG. And I started applying the modge podge to cover the fabric a few minutes ago and it doesnt seem like the modge podge is soaking into the fabric. Did I wait too long to make it work?? I'm flying out of town at 6am in the morning and I have to take these back with me so I need advise asap in case I have to start all over again.

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Did you put a big layer of Mod Podge on the plate before laying down the material? And then another layer on top of the material immediately after laying the material down? If you waited between the coats, that probably your problem, but if you try putting a heavy coat over it, that might work. Not sure what else to tell you. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but Rich (my husband) had his hip replaced this morning..it turned out great, but unfortunately, I didn't get back to you soon enough... Maybe you could try taking them with you and adding another heavy coat over what you've already done and see if that works...Let me know how it goes...Sandy

I found the smell while drying to be the most strong, and closed my craft room door until it was dry... You're the second person to ask about this nail polish..I really like OPI nail polishes but hate paying full price for them. I got a 25% off coupon from CVS and went online to cvs.com and bought three different colors...I am almost positive the color in this video is Cotton Candy and if you like light pinks, I bought another one that's more skin tone pink, and it's called Bubble Bath...So glad you liked the colors I choose....and the reason I buy OPI is because I can hold the bottle easily...(Not sure if that matters to you, but I always like to share those details.)

[@andreahaar60]

I love OPI also. My daughter is a nail tech and she uses a lot of OPI because it’s a durable polish. I have black she gave me. I only wear black and pinks. I’m going to tell her those colors so she will get them at her price. Thanks for the tips too ❤️.

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I have trouble with my nails turning yellow from nail polish, and it doesn't seem to happen with OPI nail polishes. Black....I'd be scared to try that as you know I'd end up dumping it all over me and everything in a three foot area around me. haha...

[@donnasich5342]

Getting ready to give this a try. Question: how long do you wait between the 2-3 coats you apply ?

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I really like to let it dry between coats so waited several hours to overnight between coats. You can wait less, I'm just overly cautious. If you look at it and there's no white left to the glue, it should be safe to do the next coat...

Hi! I’m new to your channel and I have a question regarding these plates. Does the back of the plate become smooth after it cures, or what can I do to take the texture from the of the plate?

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Dolores, I'm always happy to answer questions. The back of the plate would become more smooth with more coats of Mod Podge, but I chose to only use two or three coats, and you can still feel the texture of the material (that I liked)...They do use quite a bit of Mod Podge, and if you're going for the smooth feel, it might take a whole container to accomplish that..Best of luck to you with this project...it's simple unless you choose the fabric on the left that has an embroidered design, and then you'll need to cut around some of the embroidery to get it to lay flat....I'd love to see a photo of one you create...Sandy [e-mail]

[@AAa-to2tz]

Hi...quick question..sometimes after i modge podge the fabric to the plate and it dries there might be a little edge that didnt stick and the whole piece comes off like it didnt stick at all, i washed and wiped with alcohol..any suggestions❤

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I always add a good amount of Mod Podge to the edges, both under and over the material, so it doesn't pull off, and I really make sure I rub the edge of the material to make sure it's on the plate.. .and if you don't make sure each coat is totally dry (I leave mine overnight to ensure they're dry) then they can pull off as each layer has to be dry to make sure it is well adhered..Hope that helped...Sandy

[@sharichoate4311]

Does this work with burlap?

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I wouldn't try it. Burlap is too thick and the Mod Podge will dry between the layers and you'll see the Mod Podge once it's dry because of the thickness. Hope that helped. I'd recommend using a craft style holiday themed fabric or another light weight fabric...Good luck with it..Sandy

[@lindaqueen6350]

Where can you buy glass plates. Dollar stores do not have in Tn or ky

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Sorry for the late reply. Did you know you can buy them from Dollar Tree online for delivery...you only have to order 8 of them to have them delivered to your home. The shipping to my house would be 14.99, so each plate would be a little over $3. I'm not sure, but don't think you could find them cheaper unless at a thrift store. If you live near a Crate & Barrel, they have a set of 8 right now for $21.95, so that would make the plates slightly cheaper $2.75 a plate, I didn't check on shipping. Hope I helped you. Sandy

[@laurendodson1807]

How long does it take for the modge podge to cure?😊

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

It depends on your climate. I live in N/W PA and made mine around the beginning of December, so it was warm in my house and dry from electric heat. I'd say it took about a day for it to be cured, but if I put a thicker coat on when the material is thicker (yes, I had to adjust with thicker material to ensure the material was wet with Mod Podge and not just damp,) then it took more like 2 days. If the Mod Podge still looks milky, wait another day, and if it's just milky in one spot, try using your hair drier to ensure it's all dry. If you live in a humid area, it might take longer to dry. Hope that helped. Sandy

Very Pretty and fun project!

[@beenathomas8262]

Wat is the first material you used(name of the fabric)

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

The only thing I can tell you is that it's the craft fabric you'll find for seasonal things. If you ask the person in the store you visit where to find (let's say) Halloween craft fabric, they'll take you to the section where I found this. I hope it helps.

[@ivanisemedeiros471]

Pode ser lavado normalmente?

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Lo lavaría a mano, ya que aunque Mod Podge dice que es apto para lavavajillas, no confío en él y no querría que mi arduo trabajo se arruine.

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

I'm not sure if you could do mugs or glasses, as the material would be really hard to shape around handles, but if you make one, please let me know how it goes. I've got a couple other ideas, but they're flat...and I found a really nice low serving bowl at a thrift store, but it had a chip....I'm on the lookout for another one now.

[@sheriann512]

I just did one of these and I can see lines on the inside of the circle. Any tips???

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

Maybe try wetting it again with Mod Podge to see if you can brush the lines out? Brush in a different direction from what you did before..if you went side to side, this time try up and down. Also, if it's not completely dry, you'll still see lines. If you really hate it, you might be able to wet it enough with warm water to remove the material completely...it could be the type of material you're using isn't adhering tightly enough to the plate..is it a heavy fabric? I'm happy to help if I can. If you want to send me photos of the issue, [e-mail]...I'll give it a look...Sandy

[@sheriann512]

can u tell me what the clothes made from(cotton or what)?

[@craftingforalmosteveryone]

The black material is the craft material you would buy in the section where they have holiday inspired materials for crafts..I think it's cotton, but don't really know fabrics. The material with holly on it is a sheer fabric that I found in the section of Joanns where they sell fabrics that are for holidays for dressy dresses...hope that made a little sense. I failed sewing in 7th grade, as I couldn't finish a tablecloth and napkins, pathetic, yes...that's me with a sewing machine.

I gave mine away as gifts before they had time to cure. I think it says to wait 28 days before putting it in the dishwasher (or did I just make that up?) Bottom line is that I didn't try it in the dishwasher, and I doubt if my friends did either, as I gave them Christmas treats on them and think the recipients would simply wipe off the crumbs instead of washing it..Sorry...Sandy
