2、 DIY Plate Making Steps

1. Design patterns

Firstly, sketch out the pattern you want in your mind or on paper. It can be simple lines, fresh flowers and plants, or cartoon characters full of childlike charm. After the design is completed, gently stroke the bottom plate of the dining plate with a pencil.

2. Coloring

According to the design pattern, use acrylic paint or water-based paint to color the dishes. Pay attention to layering and coloring. After each layer is dry, proceed to the next layer to ensure that the color is full and not easily peeled off. For details, you can use a fine tipped brush to carefully depict them.

3. Edge decoration

After the color is completely dry, use a hot melt glue gun to stick the hemp rope or cloth strip along the edge of the plate, which is both beautiful and can increase the feel. This step allows for the selection of materials based on personal preferences to create a unique edge effect.

4. Completion and maintenance

After all the decorations are fixed, your DIY plate is complete! Please be careful to avoid scratching with sharp objects during use. When cleaning, it is recommended to gently wipe with a soft cloth to maintain its beauty and durability.

3、 DIY placemat making steps

1. Cutting fabric

Cut the fabric into the shape of a placemat using scissors and a ruler according to the required size. Suggest slightly larger than the actual size used for subsequent edging.

2. Edge wrapping treatment

You can choose to use a sewing machine or hand sew to wrap the edges of the placemat. Edge wrapping not only looks beautiful, but also effectively prevents fabric edge wear. If you prefer a more minimalist style, you can also use a hot melt glue gun to stick the fabric strip to the edges.

3. Decoration (optional)

Embroidery, printing, or applying your favorite pattern stickers as decoration can be added to the center or edge of the placemat to make it more personalized.

4. Completion and use

After completing all the steps, your DIY placemat is finished. Simply place it in the center of the dining table or under the utensils to add a touch of warmth and elegance to the dining table.
