DIY: How to arrange heirloom plates for wall art

Don’t hide away from decorative heirloom dishware. Instead, display it as a stunning wall arrangement.

We chose a diamond-shaped arrangement. For a more relaxed look, skip the measuring and create a free-form design instead. 

MATERIALS

• Vintage plates 
• Wire plate hangers 
• Measuring tape 
• Pencil 

HOW TO

1. Fit each plate with a hanger, as per the manufacturer’s directions.

2. Lay the plates out on a large work sur­face (such as the floor) in your desired arrangement, repositioning as needed.

3. Use the measuring tape and pencil to map out the arrangement on the designated wall.

4. Hang the plates with the provided hardware.

These pieces date from the '50s, but the plates need not be vintage. In fact, they can be a new set with a pattern that you simply love. | Vase and Sophie Conran for Portmeirion ribbed white dishware, penneyandcompanyhome.com.
