OK you guys, I’m about to show you one of the easiest, fastest, and affordable crafts you can possibly make. Seriously this thing cost me $2 to make…. not even kidding. A cute little fall decorative plate – FOR UNDER $2!!
So remember last week when I showed you guys the farmhouse pumpkin bucket and I used the rub on transfers? Well at the same time I told you guys I bought clear sticker paper. Three sheets for just pennies over $5.
I created a cute little pumpkin printable for the plate. Oh yeah… that white plate? On clearance for $1 from Hobby Lobby!!! Of course after I made this I went back and scooped up five more ;) I grabbed 3 of the same size and 2 bigger ones. Might have to make something fancy for Santa’s cookies this winter!
So you can download the printable above for free. Just right click on the image above to save the image to your desktop, or click HERE for the JPG to open in a new window. Again, I recommend saving to your desktop first then sizing the JPG in Microsoft Word to print (or something similar so you can get the perfect size to fit your plate).
Then just print it out on your normal inkjet printer at home on the clear sticker paper!
Next I trimmed it out, leaving just a bit of edge around the design. I peeled off the paper back and stuck it on the plate and smoothed out the little bubbles.
Yep, that’s it for this Fall decorative plate. Seriously.
I was able to fit two pumpkins on one sheet of clear sticker paper so basically it cost me $1 for each pumpkin print and $1 for each plate from Hobby Lobby. Yep, $2 for this adorable pumpkin craft. Can’t beat that!!

It is really cute, but you left out a P in pumpkin!

OMG, I can’t believe I did that!! I’m seriously shaking my head in disbelief right now! Whelp, I had to Photoshop in a corrected version until I can make a new one. Good thing it cost me less than $2 to make!!
And thanks for catching that ;)

It looks like the P is there but after the k. Love it anyway. I have never used this paper. Are there instructions on which side to put down in the copier ? Really low tech here . Yesterday I was near Pier One and stopped in. Two plates would have been $20.
howtonestforless says
I fixed the files so it should be better now! Yes, instructions do come with the paper. It’s very easy to use!! I would put a blank piece of paper in your printer first so you know if you need to put your sticker paper face up or face down first!
Pier 1 has some crazy prices! Try even Walmart or Target for cheap white plates!

I have been scouring the internet for the bowls that came with these plates, my hobby lobby was 3 short and of course none of the others in the area had any anymore (I was a few days too late I’m sure). These pumpkins are great!
howtonestforless says
I didn’t know they had matching bowls!! Seriously LOVE this set of dinnerware.

Are they food safe? How do you wash them.
howtonestforless says
No, they are not food safe. Just for decoration since you can’t wash it!

Great project. I laughed at the previous comments about leaving out the P in pumpkin because I have done that too on project image and had to redo the whole thing. Either way, your plate looks fabulous and I love the low price. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty

Ugh, I seriously HATE spelling mistakes!! It was bound to happen at some point, but seriously… UGH!!!

Want to thank you for each and every one one of your incredibly awesome printables, you are so good at making printables. So generous of you to share all these with us, I so appreciate every one. Will be very busy old lady next few days making projects thanks to your generosity. Love each and every one of your projects.
Hope Ben is doing much better now. Your little girl is so adorable, loved all the photos of her growing up. Why do they have to grow up so fast? Sometimes it seems like my kids should still be little, wish they were, but all 4 of them are grown up with grown up kids. Our youngest grandchild is 17 and a senior in high school, wwwwaaaahhhh. Our oldest “child”is 57, eeekkk. So enjoy every minute with your little sweetie.
Have great rest of week
