Unfinished White Ceramic Plates – Round & Square – Set of 2 – 5½”

A versatile set of two unfinished white ceramic craft plates, perfect for painting, decoupage and other creative decorating projects.

• 1 Round Plate: approximately 5½” diameter
• 1 Square Plate: approximately 5½” × 5½” (measured side-to-side, not corner-to-corner)
• White unfinished ceramic surface
• Smooth, ready-to-decorate finish
• Mass-produced craft ceramics
• Suitable for decorative craft projects, painting and mixed-media techniques
• For decoration only – not intended for food use
• Do not bake in an oven or fire in a kiln

The matching-but-different shapes make them great for creating a coordinated pair or trying two different decorating techniques.

🎨 DIY ideas

• Acrylic Painting

Use acrylic craft paint or, even better, a multi-surface acrylic designed for ceramics. FolkArt Multi-Surface, for example, is specifically made for surfaces including ceramics and can also be used for stencilling.

• Ideas:
  • Florals; Botanical leaves; Abstract designs; Mandala-style patterns; Cottagecore designs; Seasonal decorations; Names, initials or inspirational words.
• Stencilling:
  • These would be excellent for stencils. You could use:
    • Floral stencils
    • Geometric patterns
    • Moroccan designs
    • Mandalas
    • Farmhouse lettering
    • Christmas or Halloween motifs
• Sponge painting
  • Use a sea sponge or craft sponge to create:
    • Ombre effects
    • Speckled finishes
    • Stone/marble effects
    • Soft layered colours
    • Two-tone backgrounds
• Decoupage
  • Napkins, decorative paper, tissue paper and printed designs can be used to create beautiful plates. Mod Podge specifically supports decoupage on ceramic surfaces.
  • More ideas: Floral napkins; Vintage botanical prints; Birds and butterflies; Vintage postage/stamps; Maps; Music-sheet style paper; Christmas napkins
• Dot painting
  • Use the end of a paintbrush, dotting tools or cotton swabs to make colourful dot patterns and mandalas.
• Paint pouring / fluid-style designs
  • Acrylic pouring can create interesting abstract patterns, although we’d recommend keeping the amount of liquid controlled so it doesn’t collect excessively around the edges.
• Stamped or transferred designs
  • Decorative transfers, rub-on images and suitable ceramic decals can produce a more finished-looking result without requiring advanced painting skills.
• Metallic accents
  • Gold, silver, copper or bronze acrylic paint can be used around the rim or over portions of a design. A simple white + gold design could look particularly nice.
• Texture
  • You could experiment with texture mediums, raised stencil designs, modelling paste or dimensional paint, followed by acrylic colour.
