Quite a while ago I bought a plate and did a sort of doodle design on it in black sharpie. It was only today that I finally baked it. Set the oven at 350 degrees, put the timer for 30 minutes and went back to my laptop. Then I suddenly heard a popping sound coming from none other than the oven. You know, the place I had just put the PLATE in. Well I had never known what would happen during the baking so I ignored the first pop. But then they started coming more frequently and I started getting a bad feeling. Was my oven gonna expload?!?
Long story short, I called my mum upstairs and she was like yeah that's not supposed to be happening. She turned off the oven and took the plate out and we saw that the top of the plate had started flaking off. At this point in time I started doubting everything I had done prior to this. None of the posts I had seen telling you how to do the DIY ever specified what KIND of plate to use. And I had seen a post that said it was great because the mugs weren't breakable so I figured oh you use plastic.

So I googled sharpie art plates exploding and only then did posts come up saying what kind of plates to use. Porcelain. Or just anything ceramic. And you know, I had wondered if it was safe to bake plastic as I thought it would start melting, but I did it anyway. And so here is a blog post about what NOT to do. Because I couldn't find any of my own.
Nitey Nite or Good Morning.
