Paper Plate Decor -
So – I can be a determined person… I prefer that to the term stubborn.. which I am not..
If this is your first visit to The little brown house, you need to know that I am a
member of punctuation over-users anonymous…. or POUA
Anyway -
I did a post about putting together this plate display on my wall earlier this month -
You can go look at it here
I had found some paper plates that fit in really well with the colors in that room
and I tried to make it work with the Plate display – I put it on the center plate
But decided it looked too dorky. I was determined to use the plates in some way though.
So last night I played around with some things in my craft room
and came up with something.
I took one of the plates, some cheap Walmart picture frames, and some Dollar Tree vinyl
that said “God Bless Our Home”
You can see in the picture below that I had already started putting things
together before I remembered to take pictures! And I did not take
pics along the way – hopefully you can figure it out by looking at it,
if not – just ask me!
So I put it all together -
I think they are kind of cute – I like the way they go with my curtains.
I almost spray painted the frames Heirloom White, those of you on my Facebook page know that
I have started having dreams
about that spray paint, so I thought it was time to back off….
Seriously…
Anyway -
I was thinking these would be really cute in a baby’s room over the crib.
I also tried with a couple of wooden accent pieces that I picked up
at Home Depot and spray painted brown to match.
So what do you thing? I still have 7 of those plates left, so I
guess I need to come up with some other ideas huh!
One thing I have realized about myself is that I get bored easily
with my decor. Not all of it, but I love to change up little accents
now and then. This is a very inexpensive way to do that -
Which makes Mr. Little Brown House happier..
I am linking this post up with some great parties – go check them out!

Excellent use of the paper plate border, so creative. I love the two of these together with the fabric hangers, just gorgeous. So clever of you!

Hello! To make the background, did you just cut the border off of the plates and glue them to the backing of the frame? I love these!

Erica – I cut a section of the paper plate to fit the glass front of the picture frame. And I didn’t have to glue them, they fit in snugly like a mat would.

I love this!! I would have never thought of using paper plates this way. I LOVE it when someone can show me how to use something in a totally new way!

Love it!!!! I really like the wood accents. I had fabric I really loved and could not stop creating with it until I used every last scrap. Curtain, kiddie chair, pillows, camera case….. I am glad I have a sisterhood in obsessions.
