Edge them with a paint pen

*Smoosh the pen over a corner to create a divit and it will easily glide over the edge of the plate

Cut out your images

Step 4: Adhere and Paint

If you are using a white image and painting the plate a color, you will want to spray the back of the white image with white spray paint

*This will keep the color from bleeding through the sugar skull

Spray the front of the image with E-6000 Spray Adhesive and apply to the back of the plate

Add the skull first and then the flowers

When dry, spray paint the back of the plate in a color you like

Step 5: Seal the Back

Add several coats of Minwax Polycrylic to the back and let dry

*Clean these dishes with a sponge and immediately dry them to keep them in perfect shape!
