Once upon a time, having personalized china took either a lot of money or some serious painting skills. Now a days, however, anyone with a steady hand can decorate their dishes at home with pretty amazing results with Porcelain Pens. Whether you want a simple pattern or something a little more complicated, these draw and bake projects are a great place to look for inspiration!

Just make sure to buy a brand that is safe for food. Lots of pens used in these projects are “non toxic” but if you read further they are NOT recommended for contact with food – but people only read up until the “non toxic” part! So I like that in your DIY link, that there is a link to safe food permanent pens. In the product link it states: “Food Safe Porcelain Paint Markers.
These specially designed, food-safe porcelain paint markers are imported from Germany specifically to create beautiful drawings on porcelain that is used for serving food. You will not find permanent, non-toxic paint markers for porcelain in the United States.”
