I have a set of glass plates that I decorate according to whatever party theme I'm working on. It's cheaper than buying multiple sets of dinnerware and pretty easy to do! I mix
DecoArt Americana Acrylic paints with
Sta-Flo liquid starch and sponge the mixture on the back. I prop each plate on a bowl after painting.
I did two coats on this set. Of course, I thought I'd be really creative and paint white tulips on the front first. Didn't work......they blended away when I started sponging. I'll try something else next time.
I let them dry overnight before using. I like to wipe the front of the plate off with a mild solution of vinegar and water to clean them since we'll be eating from them! There's usually finger smudges and sometimes a little paint. After the party is over I use a paper towel to wipe the paint off after soaking the plates in warm water for a few minutes.
