Do you have to use their markers, can you use any markers as long as they are water-based?

My daughter used pencil and then used water-based markers and the plate came out beautiful. Whatever is on the plate will show. Leave about a half an inch around the edges, because it will not show when the plate is done.

Since they could not ever be recreated, I used the markers provided. Why take a chance?

Seems like, with another Make-A-Plate Kit, we used our own water-based markers because theirs dried up before all my kids were done coloring. This time we just used theirs. I do believe that any water-based markers should work. I'd try it, but I hesitate to urge others to.

I dug out the box and here what it says, You must use their pre-cut paper to transfer onto their plates after you send back the completed artwork. allow 3-4 weeks for delivery. Included in the kit are 16 Crayola Broadline Washable Markers. These plates are THE BEST present. I put the ones my sons made in school in the 70's on display each year. I treasure them. They wash well. There are 50 blank sheets included for kids, or adults, to color. Best wishes

We have a dozen plates made in the 70s that are used a lot and go in the dishwasher. The colors are still perfect. we are using Crayola washable markers on the current projects.

The instruction on the box, "use ANY washable markers to draw your design on the enclosed pre-cut paper,..." but if you have doubts and want to ensure good quality please look up the company's web site, it's MAKEIT PRODUCTS, INC at "makeit-com" ( that's with the www, and with a dot, not slash, just not sure amazon would display it :)), and scroll down there to FAQ, you in fact, find the list of " What are the approved/not approved markers ?" and a bunch of other useful information is there as well. It should help ! :)

I went to their booth at a teachers conference about decade ago and I am 99% certain they also had permanent markers to use so we could make the most vivid colors.

you can draw on them with markers.I don't think pens or pencils will work. I never tried those.

No. Like a felt tipped marker you can use them until they run out. It's just the sealer, over coat you will run out of first. Good product, we've had fun. Melissa

Water based, but they paint better than all the acrylic markers I bought from Michael's. Also these for $15 is an amazing deal since each marker is worth like $5

You can use chalk, but the writing fades quickly. These are made to be used with liquid chalk writing pens. Works beautifully with them.

I used a permanent marker, so technically I couldn't reuse them. However, the sun faded the writing on the markers so I can't read most of them. In that case, I would reuse them. Hope this helps.

I use them on paper and I think they're considered permanent markers so I don't think they would work well as dry erase as might not come off.

I used the markers on a tray that I painted. As long as you don't want to use and re-use as a chalkboard, they should work great!

I don't know... they give you a pen. and I think you have to use water soluble pens, not dry erase. or I think it said it would leave ghost markings.

I don't think so, they are good to paint on some kind of papers, like watercolor paper, because they are reactive with water. They are good for paper crafts.

If they are "wet erase" I believe they do come off with water. You can write on these with Permanent Sharpies, but that won't come off. We've created "generic" signs so we don't have to change the message. (Sign up for VBS This week!) instead of using dates. If you use Wet Erase that may come off, but I haven't tried it. And if it rains, it also may come off. I've also taken a design to a graphic artist and got a 24x36 sheet that we then stuck on to the panel. It's waterproof and if we want to change it, we just have to peal it off. The "stick on designs" are pricy, but if you plan on using them all year (Worship on Sunday at 9 AM - All Welcome) it's worth it. Blessings, Tom

I haven't tried using the marker but I suspect the marker will bleed through the stabilizer. I would not use a permanent marker.

I have never had an issue with using a permanent marker on an inkjet printable surface. If anything, the inkjet printable finish should make markers work better.

No, we were never able to get the markers that came with the set to work. We ended up using separate washable markers but it is a little messy when they try to clean the pad.

You can use normal ones. The best ones to use are the expo neon markers. They're pretty cheap on amazon.

No markers. If your making wine you want to fill it.and keep it filled. If you only make 5gal get a 5gal container. If you do 5 1/2 gal get a 5 gal and a 1/2 gal. You do not want air inside the container. If your looking to mix ingredients then you will need to measure them before adding.
