I don’t get as much time in the design studio as I would like but I had the chance to design with some new Sizzix dies several months ago and now that they are released, I wanted to share this yummy project with you that I created in a reverse decoupage technique using ModPodge.
Sweet Treat Party Time!
by Tiffany Windsor for www.cool2craft.com
With this easy reverse decoupage technique you can create the sweetest custom partyware and matching napkins.
Materials
Sizzix Bigz Die – Vine w/Leaves & Fruit (#656532)
Sizzix Bigz Alphabet Die Set – Go Slim Lowercase (or alphabet dies of your choice)
Scrapbook papers
Zip-Dry Glue by Beacon
Mod-Podge by Plaid – Matte finish
Clear glass plates and clear glass tray
Acrylic paint – gold or color of choice
Paint brush
Cloth napkins
Iron-on fusible web
Iron
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry plates and tray to remove any fingerprints. Set aside.
Die cut alphabet letters, vines and fruit from paper. Measure and cut paper to fit exactly on back of tray and center circle of plates. (For the tray, you may need to use a full sheet of 12×12 plus several strips of paper to cover the entire back.)
To create dessert plate, determine placement of vines, leaves, fruit and lettering and glue in place with Zip-Dry. Let dry completely.
Brush Mod-Podge onto center circle on back of plate (you are creating a reverse decoupage). Brush Mod-Podge glue onto front of paper (brushing over entire glued design). Press face down onto back of plate and use your fingers to gently rub paper to secure onto plate. Turn plate over and check to be sure that you rub around the glued designs pressing glue into all 
crevices. When Mod-Podge dries, it is clear but be sure that you have a smooth even coat. Next, apply a smooth coat of Mod-Podge to the back of the paper, paying attention to secure edges of paper completely. Let dry. Brush coat of acrylic paint over back of paper. Let dry.
Repeat technique for each plate and tray.
For napkins, iron fusible web onto back of fabric. Die cut designs. Remove backing paper and iron onto napkins.
Designer Note: Because you have sealed the paper with the glue and acrylic paint, this glassware is hand-washable. Just clean with damp sponge and dry thoroughly. Enjoy the ooh’s and aah’s at your next tea party!
Such a clever idea, it really makes a dessert special. I am thinking it would be such a sweet gift for a bridesmaid’s luncheon. Put each girl’s name on a plate and a special flower or other icon in the wedding colors. It would be practical and special too! thanks for sharing this idea!
Hi Tiffany thank you so much for sharing this.
What a awesome and pretty way to make the things we love
I am adding this to my list of things to make
I also thought what a nice way to make a gift for someone. Like taking a teacup and making a matching plate, putting inside of the tea cup a favorite tea Then when ones friend makes the tea they will be able to think about that friend that gave it to them
Hope you are having a wondeful day
See ya soon Hugs Bev
