AW: Cookies for Santa plate!

Bucks County Newlywed 808 · November 2012

So, I was thinking of ordering a cookies for Santa plate online to have a "first Christmas" keepsake for LO, but then I remembered we have a paint pottery store in our town, so we went and made one! It was so much fun, and actually turned out to be half the price of anything I found online! I highly recommend making one if you have a store like this near you

Painting the whole thing white first...

Making the "Foot Tree"

The almost finished product. takes 7-10 days to get it back fired in the kiln.

Omg! I am totally copying you!! Did they have that idea?

No, I came up with it, but they had a million other examples of how to incorporate a hand or foot into a design. From reindeer to the grinch! They had a cute one that was feet looking like holly and it said "Mistle Toes" . awww.....

That's such a good idea! They just opened one down the street from me so I will have to check it out!

We're doing something similar for Christmas presents. I found it on Pinterest. I'll post a link later, when I'm not on my phone. We are also going to make a Christmas tree with V's hand at the top, then N's, mine and at the bottom will be DH's. it looks cute in my head, so we'll see how it turns out. Probably much easier to go to a local place and just do them. I only hope mine turn out as cute!

That sounds adorable!! You could do 3 different shades of green to make each hand stand out? Jackson will not open his hand, it's in a perma fist, so hand prints were out.
