Paper Plates: A fellow club member made me a set of paper plates using dh wallpaper and chrysonbon plastic plates as the mold. Just talked to her and here are her instructions.
#1. Cut as many circles "plates" that you will need + 2 or 3 extra for booboo's a bit bigger than a chrysnbon plastic plate from desired wallpaper. (Birthday, Holiday, patterned, or plain.) If you are working with a paper with special design, center the design in your circle. She cut hers by hand but you might find a hole punch large enough to speed the job along.(Or cut small squares instead and trim after shaping, and before removing from the forms.
#2. Soak your circles (or squares) in warm water for a few moments.
#3. Layer your circles between the plastic Chrysonbon plates (Plate, paper, plate, paper, plate, paper, plate. Always starting and ending with the plastic plates.
#4. Clamp with clothespin or other clamp and let dry overnight.
#5. Trim edges if needed before removing all the "sandwiches."
#6. If you want a finish just tack them to a board with blue tack, & spray lightly with a gloss or matt spray. Enjoy!
