Place the paper doily underneath the glass plate. Turn the plate upside down and trace the portion of the doily you want displayed on the plate. Cut out.
Cover the front side of the paper doily with a layer of Mod Podge. Be sure to get those frilly edges!
Turn the plate upside down and apply the paper doily to the plate’s underside. You may need to apply more Mod Podge to the edges. Wipe off any excess.
