Budget Tip of the Day: Mirrored Plates

Turn any decorative plate into a show piece with this DIY mirror project.  Search out thrift stores for decorative plates or just buy a few that you like at any store.  You’ll need some 4 inch round craft mirrors, hot glue, and plate hangers.  Just hot glue the mirrors to each plate, attach the plate hangers, and hang on the wall using picture hanger hooks.  Talk about an easy way to dress up a wall.

Budget Tip of the Day: Photo Plates

Grab your plates and get ready for a picture display idea that will give you a very unique and pretty display. Thrift stores are a great place to find old plates if you don’t already have some lying around. Choose your plate and print off an image that is large enough to fit in the center of the plate. Use a compass to trace a circle around the image making sure it is the same size as the center of the plate. You could also make a pattern on another sheet of paper and use that as your guide. Cut out your circle and use double stick tape to adhere to the plate. Another option would be to use Post-It self adhesive photo paper. It’s that simple! Get creative and have fun with your plates. You could create a beautiful wall display, make a few to adorn your mantel or tabletop, or give one as a very special gift.
