How to Care for Dinner Plates Floral? (Easy Tips to Keep Your Floral Dinnerware Looking New)

Today, I felt like doing something a bit different with my dinner plates, so I decided to give them a floral makeover. I started by gathering all the plain white plates I could find in my kitchen. It was a mixed bunch, some old, some new, but all were pretty basic looking. I had a box of craft supplies with some special ceramic paints I had picked up a while back, thinking they might come in handy one day. And today was that day!

First off, I washed and dried all the plates thoroughly. You don’t want any dust or grease messing up your paint job. Then, I sketched out some simple flower designs on a piece of paper. Nothing too fancy, just some daisies, roses, and a few leaves here and there. I’m no artist, but I figured flowers were easy enough to draw.

Once I had a rough idea of what I wanted, I started painting. I dipped my brush into the red paint and carefully drew the petals of a rose on one of the plates. It was a bit wobbly at first, but I got the hang of it. Then I added some green for the leaves and stems. I repeated this process with different flower designs on the other plates, using various colors like yellow, blue, and pink. It was quite therapeutic, actually. Just me, the plates, and my paints.

  • Washed and dried plates
  • Sketched flower designs
  • Painted flowers and leaves
  • Repeated on other plates

After I finished painting, I let the plates dry for a few hours. The paint instructions said to bake them in the oven to make the designs permanent, so that’s what I did. I preheated the oven to 300°F, placed the plates on a baking sheet, and baked them for about 30 minutes. The kitchen smelled a bit like chemicals, but it was worth it. And I know someone will ask me about the recipes: from breakfast recipes to dessert recipes, all in one place, and a quick meal with potatoes and fresh asparagus is also a good choice.

Bake in Oven

Once they were out of the oven and cooled down, I checked the designs. They looked pretty good! A bit amateur, sure, but definitely unique and colorful. I used them for dinner that night, and they added a nice personal touch to the table. The family loved them, especially my youngest who kept pointing out the different flowers. And then I thought, maybe next time, I can try making a fast sled with simple items. That will be fun!

It was a fun little project, and now I have a set of custom-made dinner plates that are one-of-a-kind. It’s amazing what you can do with a bit of paint and some plain old plates. The possibilities are endless. From poached to fried to grilled, there are so many cooking methods and recipes to explore. I feel like my cooking’s gone up a notch just from having these pretty plates, how great is that?
