Avery® Permanent Glue Stick or White craft glue
7" or 9" White Porcelain Plate with wide rim for decorating
Scissors

Permanent colored markers.

Rubber Stamps, embossing supplies.

Select a photo, postcard or calendar picture. Consider using a color copier or color printer to print copies in place of originals. Color copiers and printers allow you to adjust picture size to fit recessed area of plate. Note: formula below for adjusting picture size to fit recessed area.
Cut your photo to fit the recessed area of the plate. Glue photo to plate; make sure there are no air bubbles under the photo and that all edges are secure so the Envirotex Lite®, when applied, will not seep underneath. Prints, color copies, newspaper clippings and calendar pictures require a seal coat of white glue prior to coating with Envirotex Lite®, original photos or pictures on photo paper do not. Allow glue to dry overnight.
Apply Envirotex Lite® per the package instructions. Coverage tip: Use 2 to 3 oz. of mixed Envirotex Lite® per plate.
Embellish the plate rim with buttons, charms, pearls, ribbon roses, jewelry or trinkets to reinforce the theme of the photo or compliment the décor of your home. Glue the pieces in place.
Personalize the plate rim with permanent markers, acrylic paints or paint pens. Use rubber stamps, your favorite stencil design or free hand doodles or swirls. Write special phrases like "Needles and Pins" or "50th Anniversary."

To calculate the percent your photo must be enlarged or reduced by to fit the plate, divide the size of photo you desire by the size the photo actually is. (Desired size ÷ actual size)
Example: Your photo is 10" high, you want it to be a 4.25" (4.25 ÷ 10=.425), so reduce it by 4.25%.
