Equipment

  • Paint brush

Ingredients

  • Plain white porcelain egg cups 
  • Porcelain paint dishwasher resistant in the colors of your choice
  • White fine tip porcelain paint pen
  • Black fine tip porcelain paint pen
  • Mini potting plants

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to the suggested temperature on the porcelain paint instructions.
  • Paint the base of your hair with one of your colors. Create bangs or whatever style you want.
  • Paint on two cheeks fairly low down and far apart. Add in a neckline of your choice at the bottom of the egg cup.
  • When this is dry, use the paintbrush with some white paint to create the lines in the hair and bangs.
  • Now use your black porcelain pen to draw on the eyes, just above the cheeks. To create closed eyes, just draw a shallow ‘u’ shape and add two lines for eyelashes.
  • Create nostrils with two little dots and some lips. You could even give them a smile if you’d like. Leave to dry completely. To be safe, leave for up to 24 hours.
  • Place on a baking tray and bake for the time suggested on the paint instructions. Once baked, allow the face planters to cool.
