Ingredients
Paper plates
Oil Pastels
Tempera Paint
black or another darker color for best results
Toothpick or scratching tools
Paper towels or wet wipes for cleaning up messes
Instructions
First draw a colorful pattern on the plate. I used a rainbow type bullseye circle. Other patterns work just as well
Make sure to apply the oil pastel pretty think and blend it so no white is showing through. Allow to dry for 30 minutes
The first layer of paint should be thin, but cover the plate completely. Let dry before applying second coat
Apply a thicker coat of paint for the second layer. Allow to dry. For best results, allow to dry overnight
Take a toothpick, paperclip, or other sketching tool and draw a pattern or picture and watch the magic happen.
