Make DIY charger plates to decorate your table with the pattern of your choice!It's a beautiful way to add a personal touch to your dining room table for the holidays or a special occasion. It's budget-friendly, too!
Turn the charger plate over to roughly trace the perimeter onto the fabric, leaving about a 1/2-inch gap from the edge of the plate.
Cut the fabric piece out. Don't worry if some edges are roughly cut, since you will trim the edges later.
Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the plate with a foam brush.
Center the fabric circle over the plate, and firmly press the fabric onto the plate. Use food plastic wrap as a "glove" to smooth down any edges. This prevents the fabric from sticking to your fingers.
Trim around the edges of the plate to remove any excess fabric.
Apply more Mod Podge to the edges, if needed, to prevent fraying. Let the plate dry completely (20-30 minutes) before using.
Notes
There is no need to pre-wash the fabric beforehand. The fabric does not shrink after applying it to the plate.If you apply a top coat of Mod Podge, the fabric may become somewhat dull. I opted to leave the fabric alone after applying it to the plate. Please note, Fabric Mod Podge is generally used when applying a material to the fabric itself, so the Mod Podge Matte formulation works fine for these purposes.Spot clean only.
