Cute and Inexpensive Hostess Gift

DIY Day @ ASPTL



This is a very inexpensive hostess gift or housewarming gift or teacher gift. I think it is cute. Sorry the pictures aren't great. It is raining cats and dogs today so I had to find some light. I bought the little round trivet thingy at Big Lots for $3.00. Judging with my hand, I think the diameter is about 4 inches. I then went into my Word program and found a font I liked. Now I free-handed mine(perhaps you can tell?) onto my trivet but you could transfer it using the newspaper method or transfer paper method, whatever. Then you use this and paint the letter onto the plate. I did bake my plate as it instructs on the bottle for 30 min.
How sweet, huh? You could attach a hook on the back. I use this little brass stand I bought at a thrift store for 10 cents, gotta love it! Head over to Kimba's and check out everyone's goodies!
