It’s a Cinch – DIY Music Lyric Plate

March 19, 2012  It's a Cinch | My Projects

Make a Music Lyric Plate - the perfect gift! kellyelko.com

To know me is the realize that I will only do an easy craft.

If it involves anything requiring the least amount of patience, I’m out.

My Music Lyric plate fits the bill – it took me less than 5 minutes!

I was inspired by this Halloween plate from Brooklyn Limestone where she wrote the words from The Raven.

My plate is for The Hubs who, being from Jersey, is a true Springsteen devotee.
So of course I had to write the lyrics from Born to Run.

How to Make a Personalized Song Lyric Plate

* Dollar Store White Ceramic Plates ($1 each)
* Porcelain or Vitrea Marker 
(I used Vitrea – it’s for glass but worked perfectly on the plates and they can also go in dishwasher) 
* Painters Tape

P.S. if you don’t want to make your own plates, these black and white Christmas plates are a gorgeous alternative.

* I put blue painters tape across the plate as a guide and moved the piece of tape down when I finished a line.

* I only used the rim of the plate but you could write across the whole surface if you like.

The Porcelain marker directions say to wait 24 hours for the plate to dry then bake it in the oven at 300 for 40 minutes.

I plan to make three more plates with my (and my girls) favorite lyrics
(I foresee some Bieber & Taylor Swift)!

So for $7, I have 4 personalized plates that took less than 20 minutes.

Baby, I was born to run – and so are you (to the Dollar Store & Michael’s)!

Great news – see how my song lyric plate has held up to hundreds of trips in and out of the dishwasher here.

    Pinned it, tweeted it, I’m clearly in love with the idea. The down side for me is I have awful handwriting, like incredibly bad. I’m thankful that by the time I got to architecture school everything was on the computer so I didn’t have to fail at hand-lettering:) Maybe I’ll bribe someone with nicer script to come do it for me…

      Just consider your handwriting “artsy” and if anyone questions, look down your nose in disgust!

      I don’t think my handwriting is great – a bit illegible but it works! (I’ll write yours – just say the word)!

      Good question Deborah – I checked the website and it didn’t specify but since it’s just on the outer rim, I’m not worried. Here’s the link to the marker site: http://en.pebeo.com/Creative-leisure/Decorate-surfaces/Vitrea-160

        Pebeo specifically says their products are not for use on surfaces that will come in contact with food. I’d be wary of using the plates considering how close it would be to food (I know my food rarely stays off the rims of plates!). Would look beautiful as a charger or as a decorative wall hanging though!

    My friend Andrea is a big Green Day fan and all around music fan. She took up guitar a couple of years ago. Sadly she and her husband will be moving across the country in less than a month. This will be the perfect (simple and inexpensive) but so personal and meaningful going away gift for her. I think I will do two plates one with songs lyrics from her favourite group and one with mine. Bryan Adams is my all time fave and he has a song called You’ve Been a Friend to Me which I think is fitting.
    Thank you so much. Glad I found this.

    HOLIDAY TWIST:

    1. Write lyrics to favorite Holiday tune and include a plate of homemade cookies.

    2. Have kids write letter to Santa on the plate and use the plate for milk and cookies for him. Then display the previous plates as memories for the kids.

    3. grandparents: draw handprint of kid and include their writing around the plate.

    Thought this would be a great b’day gift for my son (will be 44) – would write about the day he was born. SO, no luck at Dollar Tree or Dollar General on the plates and no luck city-wide on the Vitrea marker. With no time for ordering, I found plates at Target and Walmart and will have to use oil-based Sharpie markers. Off to compose! Thanks for the wonderful idea.

This year, I’m having a friend/family get together dinner and plan on trying this with small saucers (white, from the Dollar Store) and putting snowmen, holly, etc. around the edges and then filling them with some homemade goodies. I’m starting with 9 today and then I’ll have about 20 or so more to go. I love the idea and so has everyone I’ve made a plate for. I’ve given them to a 10 year old up to a 62 year old.

    This is so cool. Do you think it’s possible to do this with a mug instead of a plate?

      The Porcelain marker directions say to wait 24 hours for the plate to dry then bake it in the oven at 300 for 40 minutes.

    Hi! The plate I purchased doesn’t say oven safe. I’m hesitant to put it in the oven. Are your plates oven safe?

    […] Whether you make a set of these song lyric plates for yourself or you give them as a gift, they are one of the easiest custom tableware pieces you will ever see!  Kelly from Eclectically Vintage was inspired by a plate she saw that had the words to Poe's "The Raven" written across it and decided to adapt the idea to make a gift for her hubby.  He's a Springsteen fan, so she chose to rim a plate with the lyrics to "Born to Run."  You could use any song, poem, or story to customize this idea for anyone you know!  I think they would also look fabulous as chargers underneath smaller plates, adding a punch of personality to your table setting.  [how to make a song lyric plate] […]
