Water slide

You're probably thinking that I visited a water park and tried out the slide. And you may be wondering what was a woman my age thinking doing something like that. It just isn't true though. I tried out a water slide of a different kind. I purchased water slide decal paper. You print a picture on an inkjet printer. You then spray the picture with two or three coats of clear acrylic paint. After that you cut around the design put it in water for 30 seconds and then you can apply it to whatever you want it on. When it comes out of the water the backing paper slides off and it allows you to easily move the picture on your surface to get it in the right spot. 

I wanted some new plates for my plate rack in my kitchen. I printed these and and applied them to some Dollar Tree plain white plates.

Here are the individual plates.
