i plan on painting plates with hand prints and foot prints for christmas gifts for family back home..my question is..

should i go out and buy all white plates? - they would look neater
or should i recycle my all white plates that have like rainbow scribbles on the rim? (they are KIND of like this) - this would save money!
i have a whole set of plates that we use, i just recently found these plates from my first apartment when i went back home and unpacked stuff.. i brought them as back up.

i plan on making stuff like this:

I'd use the old ones. Those are adorable! I want to make something like that with DD how do you do it?

I was just concerned about the glaze that's already on the plates it may make all of your hard work flake or chip off because the old plates are heavily sealed when they are manufactured

Quoting Addisons mama  :" I'd use the old ones. Those are adorable! I want to make something like that with DD how do you do it?"

acrylic paint then you cook them for a lil while on a low heat. thats it!

Quoting Mrs cree:" I was just concerned about the glaze that's already on the plates it may make all of your hard work flake or chip off because the old plates are heavily sealed when they are manufactured"

well they are super cheap. a whole set was like 20 dollars from wal mart... they look and feel like the white plates at wal mart.. just have decor on them
