Tissue and Stamps Plate
I know that I have posted a craft about stamped plates before but I thought I would post a different way to 
create a stamped plate. 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:
- 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.
- Now that your area is ready, cut out a circle of white tissue paper that fits the bottom of your plate. Set aside.
- Cut the colored tissue paper into one inch squares, set aside.
- Take a stamp and cover it with stamp ink.
- 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.
- Allow the ink time to dry.
- Once the ink is dry, cover the bottom of the plate with white glue. Try to make it as even as possible.
- Press the white tissue into the white glue and smooth it into place.
- Take the white glue and place it on the bottom sides of the glass plate around the white tissue paper on the bottom.
- Place the tissue paper down on the plate until the entire bottom is covered.
- 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.
