This is actually an easier way to do it and you don’t have to worry about finding a sealer that you can use on dinnerware.  Although the example shows a Christmas plate, you can actually do this with any type of theme.  It is also a great craft that you can do on your own or with kids and there are tons of different ways to do this.

What you need:

  • Transparent Glass Plate
  • Colored Tissue Paper
  • White Tissue Paper
  • Stamps
  • Stamp Ink
  • White Glue
  • Scissors

Directions:

  1. Before you begin stamping, it is very important that you cover your work area.  I have, on more than one occasion, stamped tissue paper only to have the stamp image bleed through the tissue paper and onto a table for a permanent image on my table.
  2. Now that your area is ready, cut out a circle of white tissue paper that fits the bottom of your plate.  Set aside.
  3. Cut the colored tissue paper into one inch squares, set aside.
  4. Take a stamp and cover it with stamp ink.
  5. Stamp the image onto the white tissue paper carefully.  It is better if you use a solid image instead of one you need to color but if you need to color it in, do so carefully with markers.
  6. Allow the ink time to dry.
  7. Once the ink is dry, cover the bottom of the plate with white glue.  Try to make it as even as possible.
  8. Press the white tissue into the white glue and smooth it into place.
  9. Take the white glue and place it on the bottom sides of the glass plate around the white tissue paper on the bottom.
  10. Place the tissue paper down on the plate until the entire bottom is covered.
  11. Put the plate upside down and allow the glue to dry completely.

At that point, you will have a finished plate that is beautiful and matches the holiday that you have made it for.
