Personalize your tableware with creativity
Tableware is an important element in the decoration of our table. If you want to give a unique and personalized touch to your plates, cups and dishes, we show you some DIY techniques so you can personalize your tableware in a simple and creative way.
Decorating with Sharpies
One of the easiest and quickest ways to personalise your tableware is by using permanent markers such as Sharpies. You can use them to draw, write or create original designs on your plates and cups. You just need to clean the surface well before you start and let the ink dry for 24 hours so that it sets properly.
Acrylic paint
Another option for customizing your dishes is to use acrylic paint. You can paint freehand, use stencils or stamps to create decorative patterns on your dishes. Remember to set the paint with a special varnish for dishes and bake it following the manufacturer's instructions so that it adheres properly.
Decoupage
Decoupage is a very versatile technique that involves gluing decorative paper onto the surface you want to customize. You can cut designs from decorative napkins or scrapbooking paper and adhere them to your plates and cups with white glue. Once dry, apply a coat of varnish to protect the design and give it a shiny finish.
Stencil
Using templates or stencils you can create geometric designs, letters or shapes on your tableware in a precise and uniform manner. Apply the paint with a brush or sponge gently and remove the stencil carefully so as not to smear the design. Allow to dry and set the paint with a special varnish for tableware.
Transfers
Another technique for personalizing your tableware is through transfers. You can print your own designs on transfer paper and transfer them to your plates and cups using heat. All you need is an iron and follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the image onto the surface of the tableware.
