Cute Plate Project

When I was tagging along on Jakes business trip in San Diego this summer, I found the cutest plates while I was shopping with Jen in Del Mar.  I really really like these plates.  You know how sometimes you find things and you know it is yours.  These plates are like that, they are totally me.  I am totally in love with them.  But knowing that I am a cheapo I did not want to fork out the money for them.  Besides being cheap, I also have this fantasy that it is always cheaper and oh so fun to make things instead of buying them.  I seem to always forget that I am not crafty.  These projects always seem to be more fun in my head than they actually turn out to be.

So after some research on the Internet this is what I discovered.

Make a plate: makit.com or call 1-800-248-9443

Bad news.  I found out it is more expensive than I thought it would be to make a plate.  It costs $17 for 5 pieces of special paper they process on the plate.  Then it is an additional $8 to process each plate.  On top of that, you still have to pay $3 to ship each plate.  Assuming you created 5 plates, it will cost roughly $15 per plate.  Besides forking out $15 per plate I would still have to locate cute pictures and let's be honest, I know my plate would never look as good.  Also, the company only sells white plates.  So to create a cute plate like those above I would have to use markers and try to color in the entire background.

So I decided to forgo the project and go an alternate route to get my plates.

I found the plates I wanted to make online for only $8 -plus $8 shipping! So for only $1 more and a whole lot less hassle I could get the original cute plate.  Wahoo!
