Hello Everyone! Today, I have a special post for you. My little sister, K, is here to tell you about a craft she did over winter break. K is 11 years old and loves to do all kinds of crafts including sewing, quilting, latch hook, knitting, and drawing. She also loves to read, write, and play her flute.
Today I am
doing a guest post for my sister Elizabeth. My aunt showed me how to do this awesome craft! It is a decorated plate.
First, I needed to get gather my
supplies which are:
· a white
plate
· colored permanent markers
· Clorox wipes
· stencils
|
Some of my supplies |
Next, I took some permanent markers, stencils, and a white plate. I wasn’t exactly sure what to draw, so I just
started drawing but I didn’t like it, so I wiped it away with a Clorox
wipe. It took me about twenty times
until I knew exactly what I wanted to draw!

My awesome plate! |
Finally, I
put the plate in the oven at 350 degrees for thirty minutes. Then I turned the oven off and left the plate in the oven for two hours.
After that, I took the plate out and let it sit on a counter for twenty-four
hours.
Now I can use the plate to eat off of. I would only use it for non juicy things. The plate is not dishwasher safe.

Thank you, K!! Didn't she do a wonderful job? I just love how her plate turned out. I made a plate too with quotes from the Hobbit written all over it for a friend. These make great gifts and there are so many possibilities! Plain white mugs are another option if you don't want to do a plate. It was a very inexpensive project too - we found the plates at the dollar store.

The plates look great! What a fun craft to try. My 7 yr old would LOVE to try this.
