DIY Fantasy Dishware

These Paper Plates are Cleverly Upcycled into Geeky Dishes

— June 7, 2014 — Art & Design
If you need some geeky paper plates and you need them fast, what better way to get your hands on some then making them in the comfort of your own home? Blogger Our Nerd Home shows fans of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones a simple way to turn a series of paper plates into beautiful fantasy dishware.

To make these reusable geek-themed plates, all you need is a few clear glass plates, Mod Podge glue that is dishwasher safe and high-resolution images of your favorite fantasy film, TV show or characters. Use the Mod Podge glue to wrap the images directly onto the plate and then coat the images in another layer of Mod Podge to render the images waterproof. These plates would be great for a party or as a geeky gift.
