• Step 1

  Clean your plates and dry them well.

• Step 2

  Cut out the shapes you would like to use as a stencil - I used a Cricut machine, the Indie Art cartridge for all but the owl. These will serve as stencils.

• Step 3

  Apply repositionable spray adhesive to your cutout stencil and place on the backside of your plate.

• Step 4

  If you want more texture/color apply the adhesive to a piece of lace cut to cover the back of your plate. I found after a few attempts that spraying the lace well and letting it sit for a minute made it more tacky so that it didn't slide around and mess up the area about to be painted. Stick it to the back of the plate.

• Step 5

  Choose your colors! I used Velspar spray enamel - it comes in FABULOUS colors and is relatively inexpensive.

• Step 6

  The background color goes first. Spray over the lace lightly, then come back after awhile and spray it again. This way the paint won't run or soak through the lace.

• Step 7

  Once the paint has set just a little while remove the lace and let dry.

• Step 8

  If you want another background color to show through the lace pattern on your plate choose it and spray over the plate again. Let dry.

• Step 9

  Using tweezers peel off your stencil - choose the color for the main image and spray! Let dry.

• Step 10

  This step isn't necessary but I like continuity (in a weird way). I made a set of plates and wanted the backs to all be black so that they "match". So I went over the backs again with black paint and let it dry over night.

• Step 11

  Last but not least seal your paint job with a good spray on sealant - not totally necessary if you're using enamel, but it doesn't hurt and protects the paint.

• Step 12

  Voila! You now have a sweet set of totally unique plates!
