These DIY Halloween silhouette plates are a cinch to make. You'll print your design, seal it, cut it out, and use Mod Podge to adhere it to a ceramic plate. A few layers of topcoat ensure your creation lasts through the season.

Directions

Print your chosen artwork, then give it a light spritz of sealant spray. Let it dry fully, then repeat this sealing process two or three times.

Carefully snip out the silhouette shape, cutting away as much of the white background as you can.

Spread a thick layer of Mod Podge onto the back of the cut-out. While it's still tacky, press it onto your plate or platter. Use the edge of an old credit card to push out any air bubbles—this step is a must! Make sure every edge of the paper is stuck down firmly.

Brush a final coat of Mod Podge over the entire plate surface. Let it dry, then repeat two or three more times for a durable finish.
