I recently saw an adorable MistleToes plate on Pinterest with infant footprints. I'd like to do a few myself for family Christmas gifts, but I'm not sure what kind of paints would work and what the process would be to create the plate.

Is there a specific type of paint for ceramic dinner plates that I need to use? Are they safe on infant skin, since I'll be doing my son's footprints? How do I set the paint-- air dry or baking? Is there a gloss that I need to put over it?
