Well this week is a tough week. I am dealing with toothache pain so really trying to distract myself with plenty of projects. Yesterday after leaving the dentist my husband and I had about 30 minutes to waste while the pharmacy filled my prescription. We decide to go next door to the dollar store to see if they had any mason jars (my husband needs some for his workshop). So while he was looking for mason jars I browsed around and found some cute finds. They actually had some nice black plates that were very simple and every day, but got my mind to spinning with a tables setting idea. They also had some cute yellow flowers so I got two bunches of them. The plates were only $1 along with the bunches of flowers. Amazing deals!
So today I was thinking on how I could use these plates. I love monogramed items (especially plates). So I did this neat idea of printing out my monogrammed on regular paper and cutting it out the size of the bottom of a clear plate (which the dollar store had both white and clear plates but I already had some so did not purchase those). I thought this would be so neat when entertaining due to you could put each guest monogrammed name on their plate so everyone knew where to sit.
It is such a easy project and has such a great look. Here is how you can create your own monogrammed look:
| Supplies needed: Compass, Scissors and print out of your monogrammed (simply do this with your home computer and printer. I love this because you can use any font that you like). Step Two: Using your compass make a circle around your monogram.
| Step One: Using the compass measure from the center of your plate to the bottom edge and adjust your compass accordingly.
Step Three: Using your scissors cut around your drawn line to cut out your circle. This is it! Now just place under your glass plate. |
