DIY Holiday Charger Plates

Hello friends and happy weekend! Did you see all of the fun DIY gift ideas from the blog hop I participated in Wednesday? Well today I’m joining yet another group of amazing bloggers to share DIY Holiday Decor and I’m sharing my DIY Holiday Charger Plates. Make sure to check out all of the other holiday decor ideas below!

I’ve always thought that charger plates really dress up a table setting but I’ve never had any! I found some scratched up plastic ones at the dollar store and thought I’d try to dress them up for my Christmas table. And have I told you how I have this thing with buffalo check? 😉

Here is the easy tutorial to follow along if you’d like to make some buffalo check holiday charger plates for yourself.
