Create your own decorative plates with this simple andeasy-to-use craft kit. The kit consists of two glass plates, measuring 8 inchesand 6 inches, a set of nontoxic acrylic glaze paints in eight differentcolors, a fine-point paintbrush, and a brief, illustrated instructionbooklet. The booklet shows how to mix paints to create new colors andoffers suggestions for creating a design. Once you've come up with adesign, you simply paint it on the back of the plate using the reverseglass painting technique explained in the booklet, and then allow thepaint to cure for six days (or for 30 minutes in the oven) to make itpermanent. Your one-of-a-kind decorative plate is great for display,and you can eat off it too, though you'll need to wash it by hand sinceit isn't dishwasher-safe. --Elisabeth Fredrickson ... Read more

Waste of $ and time
My 2 daughters spent a long time painting the plates and did some beautiful designs, only for them to start coming off as soon as the paint dried. The painted plates are useless, if even a drop of water hits the paint it comes off --Since the product is using glass plates which only older children can handle I think they would be responsible to handle proper glass paint as well. WHat a waste of our money and our daughters' time. The initial "fun" factor was higher but quickly dropped to zero (but I had to select at least one star!) after the girls realized the artwork wouldn't last

Fun With Two Glass Plates
Painting the plates is a fun activity because you can be creative. The only problem is that you have to be careful or they could crack or break.

Fun to Paint...but does not last
This was so much fun to paint...BUT, once we let the finished product dry...the paint came right off. Did not stick to the plate. My daughter (7) was so upset, she worked so hard on it. I won't tell you NOT to buy it...but just wish you more luck then we had. Sorry paint a plate company...had to be honest. ... Read more

Great gift idea
My daughter and I bought this kit for our 5 year old to make as a gift.

It comes with everything that you need to make a plate mug or cup. You draw your picture on the paper, send it back in and they make a plate out of your art work!

Great for boys or girls!! ... Read more
