CIY Staff Tips

  • Paint and water mixtures should be smooth but not too watery, just loose enough to pour easily from the cup.
  • Because the bottom of the dish is decorated with washable paint, we recommend not placing the dish near water. If you’d prefer a more permanent option, use acrylic paint on the bottom of the dish.
