Happy Wednesday, Friends! It's time for another 15 Minute Fix and once again, this project can easily be completed in closer to five minutes. Plus, it's oh-so thrifty and all you need is a plate and a dollar store decal!
You may remember several months ago when I upcycled a tacky thrift store sign with a dollar store decal. It was a super simple project and I've enjoyed it hanging next to my front door.
So...when I found this decal over the summer, I grabbed it and set it aside with plans for a fall project. Since then, as is bound to happen at times, the same decal has made its way around quite a few blogs--all lovely projects.
I have a fondness for decorating with vintage plates, like this one I repurposed as a chalkboard. I scored this large vintage ironstone plate at a yard sale last spring and it's the perfect size for a decorative sign. Thrift stores are a great place to find vintage plates. Just make sure the plate you choose is large enough for the decal to fit. Clean the plate thoroughly....
...and carefully apply the decal. Press it down gently to remove any bubbles.
Since the transparent decal is on a plate that will only be used for decorative purposes, it doesn't need decoupage or any other sealant that could leave a clear film. Add a plate hanger to hang on a gallery wall or if you prefer, display it on an easel.
MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR FEATURING THIS POST:
Nice! And no, I've never shopped that section of the Dollar store. That place is amazing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteJust flat our adorable girlfriend. Simple....I might can do this one! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI was waiting to see what you did with your decal. It looks great! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, so creative with so little!! I love this idea.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know the dollar store had these. We only have dollar tree here, but you can bet I will be looking for them. Such an easy great idea.
ReplyDeleteI got sevferal of these at Dollar Tree. Cut out the grateful and added it to the inside bottom of a slightly used breadpan! It's cute but I like your plate better. I have one more decal...now to find a plate!
ReplyDeleteI used a decal on a platter a couple of years ago but never thought of putting a frame around it. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing at Snickerdoodle.
DeleteVery pretty! You know, believe it or not, I've never tried decals! Crazy right? This is such a great idea and I love the way you displayed it with the frame and leaf garland.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Yes, I am guilty of using that same decal on my cutting boards and I have seen it used numerous other ways. Not bad for a $1!!
ReplyDeleteBudget-friendly and cute, love using vintage plates too..
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. It is so easy and yet so stylish.
