$2 Merry Christmas Plate Tutorial!

I shared this project on A Glimpse Inside a few weeks ago and wanted to share it with you here just in case you missed it!

I wanted to show you how to create a $2 Merry Christmas Plate! 

I fount this plate and "Merry Christmas" ornament at the dollar store!

Next I took the plate outside and sprayed it with water...

(I know this sounds super strange, but trust me!)

Then I got out my red spray paint and sprayed the plate... 

and took a paper towel and dabbed the plate to create the "mercury glass" look on the plate!

(sorry this pic is awful... it's super hard to dab and take a pic at the same time)

I ended up with this:

After the plate was completely dry, I took it inside, got my E-6000 out and... 

put the glue on the back of the Merry Christmas ornament!

Then I stuck it onto the center of the plate and put a bag of drawer pulls on it!

(you don't HAVE to use a bag of drawer pulls, anything with a little weight to it will work)  

Then I ended up with this: 

Oh yea, and just to let you know, the Dollar Store has some cutie ornaments this year!

Merry Christmas!
