What you’ll need:

– Plates (I used small salad plates from Ikea)
– Sharpies (oil-based) – I used gold but you can use any colour
– Windex or glass cleaner to clean your plate surface
– Stencils for patterns or lettering if you don’t feel too comfortable with your handwriting

How to:

1. Clean the plate’s surface with Windex and paper towel
2. Draw your design or pattern in pencil
3. Go over your design with an  Oil-based Sharpie and let dry overnight
4. Preheat the oven to 450F and bake for about 30 minutes
5. Leave to cool in oven for 30 minutes and voila!
