I am such a summer lover, and am sad when the weather starts to get cold because everyday life becomes a little bit harder (ie. exercise) :) the nice thing about the chillier weather are the fun projects that get done due to the weather being colder. One of my favorite projects I completed last year was this giving plate, and it came back around to me a few weeks ago! I was so happy to see it again, but even more excited to give it away again with treats.
The Craft Is EASY!
What You Will Need
1. Creativity
2. A Plate or Ceramic Dish (I got mine from Tai Pan Trading Company)
3. Oil Based Sharpie Markers
Once your creation is completely dry and ready to "seal" pre-heat your oven at 350 degrees. Bake the item at 350 degrees for at least 30 minutes. Keep it in the oven until it completely cools down, or your ceramic could shatter. I recommend keeping it in the oven for at least a few hours.
Get creating!
