Also to know is, can you eat off painted plates?
Plates are meant to be eaten off of, so make sure the paint you use to decorate your plate is safe. Food-safe paints are often labeled as such and can be found at your local art supply store. Ceramic paint pens are great for detail work, too.
are Sharpie decorated plates Food Safe? Although the oil-based Sharpies are non-toxic, they are not deemed food safe. I would not serve hot food on the plates, and to ensure total safety, put a doily or napkin on the plate before serving cookies, creme puffs, or other light desserts.
Also Know, is there a food safe paint?
food safe paint. There are no "food safe paints" on the market for the hobbyist. Some paints are "non-toxic" but this is not the same as food safe. You could use glass paints to create a border for the cheese tray but be sure to leave plenty of room so that cheese and crackers do not come into contact with the paint.
Can you paint a plate with acrylic?
You may be wondering what kind of paint to use on your ceramic dishes. I suggest choosing an enamel acrylic paint which is specially formulated for use on both ceramics and glass. You also can wash these dishes on the top shelf of your dishwasher once they are dried and cured in the oven.
