In the gold rush
Deko-Star: With ceramic foil you can do a lot of great things.
You need this:
- Computer and inkjet printer
- Ceramic foil (from AveryZweckform, "My Design Inkjet", approx. 10 €)
- Plate, white with border (department store)
- Eucalyptus branch, small leaves
- dessert plate
- napkin ring
- brown cloth napkin
- golden star pikser (Miss Étoile, decoration stick "star" (gold), set of 12, 6.90 €, about www.nostalgieimkinderzimmer.de)
- scissors
- Iron
- maybe baking paper
- Small bowl of water
- soft cloth
It's that easy:
1. Create motif / name on the computer. Print on the coated side of the transfer ribbon. It is important that the motif is printed mirror-inverted, so that it can be seen laterally on the plates.
2. Cut out the printed motif roughly.
3. Now the transfer foil is connected to the carrier foil. For this purpose, the carrier film is cut to exactly match the printed carrier film.
4. Place the printed side of the transfer ribbon on the coated, glossy side of the carrier foil.
5. Iron with the iron over the foils. Tip: Switch off the steaming function of the iron and cover the foil with baking paper.
6. Press the iron on the slides for about four seconds without moving it.
7. Turn the foils over and press the iron again for 4 seconds.
8. Allow the slides to cool and cut out the motif exactly.
9. Put the foil in lukewarm water for about a minute. As a result, the motif separates from the film and can be placed on the desired location. The plate should be dry and clean for this.
10. Wipe off the remaining moisture with a soft cloth, then allow the film to dry for at least one hour.
11. Cook the dishes at 175 degrees for about half an hour on a medium rack in the oven. To cool the dishes can remain in the oven.
12th? But if it is taken out anyway, it should not be placed on cold metal plates, otherwise it could lead to stress cracks.
13. According to the manufacturer, the plate with the motif is dishwasher safe. To be on the safe side, you should rather rinse the plate by hand.
14. Place smaller plates on the white as desired and decorate with a sprig of eucalyptus.
15. Pull the napkin ring onto the napkin and slide the star spit under the napkin ring.
Finished!
