Product Description

Editorial Review

Create your own decorative plates with this simple and easy-to-use craft kit. The kit consists of two glass plates, measuring 8 inches and 6 inches, a set of nontoxic acrylic glaze paints in eight different colors, a fine-point paintbrush, and a brief, illustrated instruction booklet. The booklet shows how to mix paints to create new colors and offers suggestions for creating a design. Once you've come up with a design, you simply paint it on the back of the plate using the reverse glass painting technique explained in the booklet, and then allow the paint to cure for six days (or for 30 minutes in the oven) to make it permanent. 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 since it isn't dishwasher-safe. --Elisabeth Fredrickson

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun to Paint...but does not last, November 14, 2002

By A Customer

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of $ and time, December 5, 2003

By A Customer

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not perfect, February 18, 2006

A Kid's Review

I thought this kit was fun because I like to do crafts and it's nice to be able to eat off of the plates you've painted. This is a fun activity. But if you buy it, don't expect your plates to look like the pictures on the box: all perfect and smudge- free, because in reality, the paint is actually quite smudgy. That was the problem with this kit. The plates still look nice, just not perfect and proffessional.
