Day 8 of our Count Down today - time to make a special plate for Santa's treats on Christmas Eve. I took the girls to our local Salvation Army op shop and Bubble took her time choosing a white plate that she liked, then we brought it home to decorate. We were going to use ceramic paint but the only ones I could find last week were hideously expensive, so we used permanent markers instead. I'm going to go over the top of it tonight with a clear resin to seal it all in and protect the design, hopefully we can build a little collection of Santa plates over the coming years :-)
WE USED:
* white plate (we got ours from an op shop)
* permanent markers
* clear resin

The plate Bubble chose was lovely and heavy and cost a whole 0.50c
Bubble drawing her Christmas pictures for Santa.
The orange drawing was Squeak's addition - isn't it cute :-) I'm impressed with her straight lines!
The green drawing is a Christmas tree, the round orange circle is a present and the red drawing is Santa - great job girls!
Oh this could become a wonderful tradition and you could end up with an entire Christmas Dinner Set!!
ReplyDeleteCaz, I'm definitely pinching this idea. Absolutely gorgeous, and so much fun.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea!
ReplyDeleteIn a few years time you will have a lovely collection of plates. And it`s nice to see how children`s drawing skills have developed over the years.
Well done girls! Very pretty drawing :)
Kylie - I hope so too, I was imagining a whole table full of them and we've only made one! :-D I think they'd be lovely to pass down to our children when they move out, or Grandchildren in many (many!) years time.
ReplyDeleteThanks sarah and Jane, have fun - would love to see the results of your little ones creations!
Tiggeriffic - making one for birthdays is a great idea, might be a good 'party activity'.
Mermaid - I agree, their drawing skills change so quickly so having a yearly representation will be very interesting!
