Personalize Customize Place Mats or Chargers for Weddings or Any Special Event

Personalized Place mats or chargers can make any event extra special.  It is easy to do (as all my projects are), and you are only limited by your imagination!

In the example below I used a 12" white square paper doily (you use round etc).
I attached a 5" doily in the center as a stencil, later I added a "thank you" stamp.

In the center a heart stamp, wedding rings, flowers.....etc.............

Supplies Needed:

12" (or size perferred) paper doilies

Spray paint

5" (or size preferred) doily for stencil

Decorative Stamp and pad

Center the "stencil" doily - a fix with a small piece of double sided tape.
I use the tape so the spray paint doesn't blow the stencil away, also if you turn the larger doily to apply a second coat the stencil will not shift.
 

Remove the stencil after a few minutes - and get ready to spray your next doily!
I have found the metallic paints dry faster then the "regular colors" and are easier to get an
"even" coat.

Last - add that special something to the center......or leave the stencil off, and have a classic solid place mat.

Here are other examples.... with silver paint and purple!

Glue the doilies down and let dry.

After glue has dried - cut doilies out.

Fold doily in half - and cut along the crease.

Now you are ready!

Simply roll the half doily in a cone.

I used regular tape on the outside of the cone for this example.

But you can use double sided tape if you chose, so that it does not show.

Just about ready!
