A Merry Mishap decided to spruce up some plain white dishes using a porcelain paint pen.

Apparently, you can get the paint pens at most craft stores. All you do is draw a design on the dishes and then bake them in the oven at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Instant face lift.
This idea makes me want to get a lot of old plates from the thrift store and experiment. (Via style files)

To bad they are not recommended for surfaces that come in contact with food…but, what fun one could have with the outsides of bowls!

Wolfsong, here is a brand that is water-based, non-toxic, microwave, and dishwasher safe:

But you bring up a good point–always read the fine print with paints.

They could definitely make a fun project, for kids and adults alike…I could see using the ones from Michael’s for a child’s b-day party, and sending each child home with a plate they decorated and can use.
