In order to make a successful Sgraffito Plate you must first create a mold for your plate. The mold can either be a small or large squre or circle. Then after the mold is dry you must paint the plate with special black paint, applying 2 coats. After the coats have dried, trace your inspiration picture onto a piece of wax paper, then onto your mold. After you trace it onto your mold, gently scratch away the black paint where you want the areas to be white. After you are done, you may add a frame to add a little bit more detail to the plate.
