So, for work we need:

• beads;
• iron.

Work order, step by step:

1 — Let’s prepare a suitable plate and foamiran of various colors.

2 - Cut out leaves from green foamiran, cutting the edges on both sides.

3 - Let's prepare flowers of various shapes and shades, cutting them out of Thomas.

4 - Use an iron to shape the leaves and flowers. To do this, after heating the iron, we apply the workpiece to its sole. While the foamiran is heated, carefully stretch it between your fingers, giving the flowers and leaves volume.

5 — This is what flowers look like after ironing...

6 - Using a heat gun (Titan glue does not cope well with this task), glue beads and flowers onto the plate.

Crafts master class

What beautiful paintings are made by folk craftsmen from disposable tableware. A master class on making crafts from disposable tableware helps beginners who love creativity to make gifts and interior wall decorations.

A vase with a bouquet of yellow tulips is a spring motif for a three-dimensional panel. You can use black glossy cardboard as a base. A vase cut out of colored foil and glued to the bottom of the cardboard looks gorgeous against a black background.

You need to lay out flower templates with leaves on stems on cardboard so that the picture is voluminous and fits well on the base.

Using green foil, we prepare long stems using the twisting method and glue them to the background of the picture so that they go into the vase. We glue the leaves from the same foil to the stems, leaving the other end not glued. This will give the picture volume.

The tulips will be yellow spoons glued to the stems with the convex side facing out. The number of colors is determined by the desire of the craftsman himself.

Such a picture, placed in a beautiful frame, will be a real decoration of the interior.

Old doesn't mean bad

Almost everyone has old plates that take up space and are a pity to throw away. “What to do with them?” you ask. You can make an art object out of old plates with a little imagination. By painting and decorating an old plate you will get a wonderful photo frame.

You can also make an unusual flowerbed design from old plates. And it will also be a wall decoration for the interior if you, in an original way, following the color scheme of your interior, paint your dishes with acrylic paints and hang this splendor on the wall.

Christmas decorations

Always during the Christmas and New Year holidays, the interiors of the rooms and the tree itself are decorated with cute angels. Christmas tree crafts made from disposable tableware can also be made in the form of angels, which should be hung on the tree.

To do this, it is best to take a small silver or golden plastic saucer. Using a simple pencil, mark the middle of the saucer. Fold the top towards the middle of its side. The silver angel dress is ready. Using the template, cut out the head with hairs. Draw eyes, nose and mouth on the face. Paint your hair a slightly yellowish color and glue beads onto it to create something like a crown.

Cut out the wings according to a template from a transparent plate. A stapler will help connect the wings and head to the main figure. To prevent the staples from being visible, it would be a good idea to glue decorations to these areas. A narrow satin ribbon, folded in half, in the form of a loop, will help you hang the angel on the Christmas tree. You can use this technique to make several figures of angels, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and other characters.

What is papier-mâché?

The technique called papier-mâché originated in China back in the second century. Translated from French, this name means chewed or torn paper. In ancient times, various things were made from such a plastic mass, from kitchen utensils to unusual armor for warriors, which were then varnished.

Gradually, this technique spread throughout the globe, gaining the greatest popularity in European countries. Today, many things are made using the papier-mâché technique, mainly interior decorations.

Interesting crafts

Disposable tableware allows creativity to fly. Interesting crafts made from disposable tableware give confidence that human hands are capable of much.

If you have an outdated clock in your home, you can always update it and breathe new life into it. Taking plastic spoons of a color that best suits the dial, cut off the long handles. Leaving a length of 5 cm.

Glue the spoons with the curved side in a circle on the back of the clock. Place spoons close to each other so that there is no free space. Then, after waiting until the first row sticks well to the clock, glue the second row.

It turns out beautifully when 3-4 rows are glued. Since the spoons are glued to the front side of the watch with the concave side, the frame of the watch visually resembles scales. The watch will look stylish and elegant, decorating the interior.

Garland of snowmen

You need to take several small plastic or cardboard plates and decorate each of them as a snowman’s face. You can use pencils, felt-tip pens, colored paper, tape, and tinsel for this. Whatever comes to mind. The idea is that each snowman should be individual.

Therefore, each plate is a separate product. You can make the New Year's attribute for several days, either together or in turn. The number of faces required will be enough to cover the entire planned length of the connecting line.

When they are all ready, you can sell the fishing line through the edges of the former saucers or additionally equip them with hooks. The kid will be happy to see the results of his work, looking at the wall or ceiling decorated with them while the chimes strike.

To work, you will need a round base, a bowl of water, glue, a brush, scissors and acrylic varnish, as well as a suitable image - a postcard or a printed drawing.

Painting a decorative plate.

If you know how to draw or just like to draw, then you should definitely try painting a plate. There are several ways to do this: stencil painting, dot painting, stained glass, artistic painting and others. Each artist will be able to choose a method according to his taste and strength.

For drawing, acrylic paints are used, which are self-drying and require baking, and special markers for glass and ceramics.

If you have enough experience in drawing or your soul requires improvisation, you can create a pattern right on the go or use the art painting technique, when a plate becomes a canvas and entire pictures are created on it.

It will be easy for a beginning artist to work using stencils or using the dot painting technique.

Spot painting.

Dot painting is a technique of drawing and creating contours using dots, which creates a spectacular three-dimensional image. Plates decorated in this way look as if they are embroidered with beads or seed beads.

To work, you will need acrylic paints; you can paint with them directly from the tube, or, if this method seems difficult, use a small brush or toothpick.

First practice placing dots of different sizes and maintaining the same distance between them.

Before work, degrease the surface. For a beginner, the best option would be to use a transparent glass plate, on the back of which you can glue a pattern template. You can also transfer the drawing onto a plate using tracing paper. We begin work by drawing large general contours, then move on to small details.

We leave the plate to dry thoroughly during the day; you can speed up this process using a hairdryer or by baking the plate in the oven for half an hour at a temperature of about 160 degrees.
After complete drying, secure the design with varnish. Decorative plate in mixed media.
When creating a decorative plate, the final result depends only on the master, who can use not only various techniques, but also their combinations. For example, to create a plate like the one in the photo below, we will use the decoupage technique along with dot painting.

So, we prepare the base and degrease it. Next we work using the decoupage technique. We select a suitable image, treat it with varnish and let it dry. Soak it in water, separate the design, cut it out and fix it on the plate, not forgetting to leave a free edge for painting.

After the varnish has dried, we paint the edge of the plate, and also add volume to the drawing using the dot painting technique and cover it with a finishing layer of varnish. Do not forget to properly dry all layers of work.

The result is a wonderful decorative plate in the Provence style, which can easily decorate a suitable interior or become a very original gift.

Of course, there are many techniques for decorating plates, for example, more complex stained glass painting or marble techniques.

However, you should not immediately strive for complex work, as we see that even the simplest techniques give an amazing result in the end if you put in a little effort and add inspiration.
