DIY Anthro-style butterfly plate

This pretty plate is from Anthropologie. A dinner plate will run you about $16.00.

Here's a similar one I made. I used a yummy antique plate that I found at an estate sale for 25¢ and a package of rub-ons that I received in a swap years ago.
It took all of two minutes to decide where I wanted the images and to rub them on and now I have instant artwork for my wall! The colors are perfect for my front room, and whenever I get around to finally hanging something the wall in there (we've lived here 6.5 years with nothing on the walls in there--I'm obviously afraid of commitment) this will make a nice addition to the gallery wall I've been planning. Not too bad for a measly quarter and two minutes of my time!

  3. Love this! I have to get over to Michaels and see what there is to see. It seems like I haven't been in a true craft store in ages.
