DIY Calligraphic Plates
One of my favorite design trends is calligraphy and handwriting on ceramic pieces. On a mission to create my own pieces I rounded up my materials.
For less than $10 I was able to make my own artistic calligraphic plates with two simple materials -
- Inexpensive white porcelain plates available at any store that sells plates. I was able to purchase mine for $1.29 each.
- Black china paint intended for porcelain. I was able to find a Porcelaine 150 China Paint by Pebeo in Anthracite Black at Michael's for $5.99
The great thing about designing your plates yourself is you can include personal elements. For me I included my favorite lyrics. It looked so great that Daniel even created his own plate with personal lyrics. You could always take this project further and create custom plates with names, illustration, or special occasion designs.
