Hanukkah comes early this year. It actually starts on Thanksgiving. Inspired by some votive holders I made as a gift last year, I made some little appetizer plates this year in festive Hanukkah colors. These are for the same friend.
For this project you will need:
- Clear glass plates ( I got mine at Cost Plus)
- All purpose craft paint ( I used Martha Stewart Gloss and Glitter paints)
- An oven or 21 days ( will explain below)
You’ll be painting the underside of the plates so clean the bottom with alcohol to ensure your paints adhere. This is kind of a reverse process . Place your plate with the bottom side up. I found it easier to elevate the plate on something. I started with the gold glitter paint ( Florentine Gold) and went around the rim. Let dry and went around with a second coat.
I didn’t want perfectly even coverage. I wanted a kind of mottled, watercolor effect so my painting was random. Once the second coat of glitter was dry, I used a sponge paint dauber and “spounced” one shade of blue (Martha Stewart High Gloss Pond) randomly around the rim. When that was dry, I painted over that with High Gloss Indigo.
Here’s where the oven comes in. You can either “cure” your plates by letting the paint sit for 21 days, or you can let them dry for an hour, and bake them in the oven. Place your piece in a cold oven, turn to 350 degrees ( the glass needs to heat up gradually), bake for 30 minutes and then let your oven cool down to room temp. They are now top rack dishwasher safe and all the paint is on the underside so the tops are food safe.

They look great. I bought some mugs to decorate over a year ago. Maybe time to find them and give it a try.
This is an interesting article, and fun to discover. I really like what you're saying and the way you write. Thank you and good luck .
