Decoupage Thanksgiving Plates and Chargers with Mod Podge
Have you ever thought of eating off burlap? No way! But with the easy technique you can make a rustic designer set of plates and chargers using burlap, scrapbook paper and Mod Podge. The plates are not dishwasher safe. They will need to be gently hand-wiped clean. They are great for salads, desserts and cheeses. Look for glass plates and chargers at your dollar store and jazz them up!
The Plate: What you need:

How To:
1. Cut a fall leaf shape from scrapbook paper. Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to the top of a paper leaf. Working on the backside of the plate, position the leaf in the center of plate. Press with your fingers to remove any air bubbles and allow to dry.
2. Trim the burlap so it is just larger than the plate. Coat the entire backside of the plate with fabric Mod Podge. Use a thick coat. Position the burlap on the back of the plate.
