For his first Father's Day, I made Poke a cereal bowl especially for him, from 4L. I also painted a mustache on his favorite mug.
Michael's had some ceramic paint on sale, so I went ahead and bought all the primary colors plus a few extras. I have many plans for this paint!
It's easy to use, if you are patient. You can't just slop it on like acrylic paint - you must dab gently, otherwise you'll get streaks and lines instead of a smooth finish.
Paint, let dry overnight, paint again, let dry overnight, then bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees (or whatever your paint says to bake at for however long).
Yay! Custom-made wares!
And now a photo of Poke enjoying cereal out of his awesome bowl:
