Materials List
- White round dish
- Gold leaf paint
- Small paint brushes
- Pencil
-
Printed map (if needed)
Note: The map in this tutorial was freehand drawn while looking at a map online. But if you prefer to follow guidelines instead, you can print out a map, cut out continents, and then trace them onto the plate with a pencil. The pencil wipes away easily, so make all the mistakes you want!
Instructions
-
Trace the general outlines of the continents onto the plate. The pencil wipes away, so keep trying until you're absolutely satisfied with the design.
-
Once you've plotted out all your designs, use a small paintbrush to paint gold leaf in the outlined continents.
-
Once you’ve filled in the land, use the small paintbrush to create jagged lines around the continents – just like on a real map.
-
Lastly, add small islands and clean up or smooth out the gold leaf paint.
-
Let dry completely before using as a catch-all or ring dish.
