I had to jump on the Sharpie / plate phase....and here is my take on it....
Are you really going to toss this in the dishwasher or eat off of it, ever?
Not me - so, in my opinion it doesn't need to be dishwasher safe.
....so....I let my son color our family portrait on a Dollar Tree plate with Sharpie brand markers, baked it at 350 for 30 minutes, let it cool & put it on a stand. BAM! cute art accomplished!
If you are going to eat off of it, make a birthday or "Great Day" plate, then you will want to try different markers & methods of washing the finished plates. *I hear that the oil/paint based Sharpies are the way to go, but have NOT tried them myself.*
**I also had C decorate small glass candy jars at Christmas for his grandparents, also from Dollar Tree, and then filled them with their favorite candies.
And he did a napkin holder in an owl motif for my office.
