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.
