Creating Unique Displays that Make a Big Impression!
September 28, 2012
The holidays are quickly approaching, and what better way to make a huge impression on friends and family than a set of custom-made serving and display ware.
Imagine this: You’ve just invited all of your best friends to celebrate Thanksgiving at your place this year when your mother-in-law calls announces she’ll be arriving for Thanksgiving dinner promptly at 6pm. How can you keep your creative style and still totally “WOW” the in-laws?
Create your own custom set of dishes and serve ware that will leave your guests ooh-ing and ahh-ing with each course.
Make easy but stunning platters to display your culinary masterpieces, and non-traditional dessert stands to hold your cupcakes above the rest.
You can instantly make any large plate into a display stand by using pedestals, bowls, or even teapots as a base. At All Fired Up, we can either fuse the two pieces together in the kiln so they become one piece, or we can leave them as separates and attach them with a bonding adhesive glue after the firing process. You can use this technique to create the most creative cake displays!
We also have a number of techniques and ideas that will help you create a one-of-a-kind serving platter. Many of the plates above use a very simple masking technique – You can use three-ring binder hole reinforcing stickers, small labels, or masking tape to create an incredible design. All you have to do is place the stickers in the design you want, paint three solid coats of paint on top, and then peel the stickers back up! It’s so easy!
Come into any All Fired Up location and begin creating your holiday display pieces today!
