material

tissue paper
Decoupage varnish for porcelain
Old plates
Shape punch with circles
Wide brush
oven

Directions:

Use your die cutter to cut circles out of the tissue paper. Brush some decoupage varnish onto the area where the circle will be, then secure the tissue paper to the plate by brushing the varnish over the circle as well. Repeat this process until you have a beautiful dot pattern on the plate. Let the varnish dry briefly.

Preheat the oven to 130 degrees Celsius and place the plates in the oven for 90 minutes to allow the varnish to set. You can even wash the dishes in the dishwasher later. Your new coffee service is ready.

Extra tip:You don't have to buy the tissue paper separately from the store. Wrapping paper from your last bouquet or a few plain napkins will also work.
