I got them at Costco in a big pack about 6 months ago. I’m out of town right now but I’ll check the brand and get back to you.

Where did you get your plates. I like the pattern around the edge better than any I have found. It makes them look more “real” I think.

Good question. I did this on disposable plastic plates, so I have no plans to re-use them. So far they seem to be ok when they get scraped against each other stacked up. I can’t really speak towards reusable plates!

I have been doing this method for a while, and I’m curious how your paint has held up through washing. A lot of my paint has flaked in random areas despite the fact that I sealed all of them with a finish. So how are yours holding up?

Isn’t it amazing! We’re using it for our wedding. I’m actually going to decorate it in a future project/post. It’s made by a company called Tablee and most sites have it for $5/set. I came across a site called Modern Lola where it is only $1/set. Their shipping is expensive (it would have been almost $20 for 90 sets), but I emailed them and they gave me a special shipping rate since the package was so light!

Wow! Love this!

What about the cutlery? Where is it from? I’ve never seen such beautiful disposable cutlery!

They are! The important way to ensure this is to spray paint the *underside* of the plates so the gold shows through but there is no paint on any eating surfaces! Thanks for visiting!
