Directions:

1. Wash and dry the plate.
2. Using the sponge, dab it into your paint and then apply it to the edge of the plate. Let it dry.
3. Apply the transfer to the center of the plate according to directions.
4. Apply the glitter.
5. Spray the sealant on in a well ventilated area (or outside). Let it dry completely.
6. To make it a gift, include a wall hanging bracket or plate stand. These are great for any occasion.
