Sorry for the extremely large file!
I swear, it seems like my tutorials keep getting bigger and bigger...~thinkpastel had a wonderful idea and used circle templates (the kind used for drafting) instead of the washer! [link] She says that she can work any scale up to 1:4, so you can try that too!
~HanaClayWorks tutorial: [link] Background brushes [link] by ~Nana-viciouS I finally finished this tutorial! It feels like it took me forever
I hope this is understandable
I added many photos and less text, it seemed like a good idea but now I'm not sure... maybe I didn't explain enough 
I think it's implicit, but anyway: the measures I gave are only for reference! Don't feel restrained by my instructions - use a washer of any size you want! Also, I don't have cutters (yet) but use any cutter you want and make plates with beautiful shapes!
Please show me what you can do using this tutorial! I would really really love to see your plates with or without food
Go crazy! Plates made using my tutorial:

That's great news! Some people have been telling me that they've had problems finding a washer

They are, but people might not know where to look. I have to go into hardware stores to find them. I can't go to a general store or something like that.

I can find them in general stores, I guess I'm lucky

Yeah I thought so too. Maybe their just looking in the wrong places. My dad found two for me but the clay I have isn't drying and it melted when I tried to bake it. I'll just save up for good polymer clay. I'm sure I'll find it somewhere.

Really? May I ask what kind of clay are you using? #semi-sweeties has a list including all the places where you can buy clay and where's it's cheaper [link] it may help you!

I honestly don't know the name. I've had this stuff for years since I was a little girl and it's never dried out. I'm planning on buying some sculpey from Hobby Lobby soon...When I have spending money again.

I have a bunch of this stuff lying around at my parents' place so I just sent my dad a really weird wishlist of things to post to me like marbles and washers and lip balm lids!

hahahaha I can imagine your dad's face! It must be very confusing

i was just wondering, how long do you bake your plates for, and in what kind of oven (toaster or regular)? they're gorgeous!
π: 0 β©: 1
I use a toaster oven, the plates are quite thin so I bake them for 10-15 minutes, just to be sure

thanks! and what temperature do you usually set it to? (sorry, haha)
π: 0 β©: 1
130Β°C or 275Β°F, I check the temperature closely with a oven thermometer and I make sure to never go above that or bellow 250Β°F.

Oh my, that's amazingly helpful. Now I must ask my dad for a washer.

I'm glad you think so, I hope you'll find it easy too! and have fun of course

YAY! NOW I CANMAKE PLATTEEESSSSSSSSS!!! Gonna get a washer from the shed or DIY store sometime....need to make some plates....

A tip, washers are also in many things so you can sometimes find them if you disassemble things. I got a couple from a lamp!

Hmmm...Ill have to find some stuff to disassemble!! And I will!!
