Broken China Plate Christmas Trees
"When I found out how easy it was to cut up China plates with a rotary tool, I couldn't wait to make something out of my old favourite chipped plates. Instead of consigning them to the bin I could give them a new lease of life as a cute Christmas decoration. I used the tool to cut the plates into a simple Christmas tree shape. I was also able to easily smooth off and round the edges. I'm so pleased with how these upcycled trees turned out."
