Let the imagination run wild to make amazing things happen.
In this article, you will find some creative ideas to overhaul your home with new decor. Keep reading!
· Picture Frame Plate
Plates with fancy rims create lovely picture frames, particularly for old black and white family pictures that add to the beauty. A collection like this may be put on a console table or even hang on a wall like a family tree.
· Clock Plate
The plate can be converted into a clock by punching a hole in the middle and adding a basic clock kit, which can be sourced locally from art and craft shops. This one has a sweet, countryside appearance; but, a mid-century or trendy plate with a more graphic style will also look nice.
· Wall Art Plates
There are several things you can put on a wall that has nothing to do with a picture. Plates are, in truth, one of the items that make them fascinating. Here are some tips for wall mounting plates for full impact:
1.Choose an array of all-white plates and of various sizes and shapes;
2.Go for an uneven series of decorative ones for an exotic look;
3. Place them in a grid pattern for a more organized, geometric appearance;
4.Display them on the wall in a free-form shape for a playful look.
5.Use a set of plates that have the same color palette or pattern, i.e. both the retro floral, and all the blue and white images.
· Server with Tiered Plate
There are so many options to use tiered servers all over the home. They could carry essential items, watches, and school supplies to name a few. Create your three-tiered stand by gluing together three plates and upturned cups or candle holders.
· Plates for Garden decorations
Plates tucked into planter boxes are perfect for making gardens full of spices, tomatoes, and other veggies. These blue and white plates bring more color and farmhouse appeal to the galvanized planter trio. You may also turn these into garden markers by applying plant names to these using picture transfer or exterior paint.
Conclusion
Instead of leaving the old plates and dishes to collect dust in the attic, put them back into stylish items that are more valuable in today’s household. We should all understand that antique dishes are beautiful, but they’re not very functional at home today: most can’t be used in the microwave or the dishwasher. That doesn’t say, though, that your discarded place settings should be in the attic for several decades to come. No, there are a lot of ways to plan innovative DIY crafts including old plates.
