First buy a white glass plate at the dollar store. I bought mine at the dollar tree. Second buy the paint, I got the ENAMEL paint at Micheals Arts and Crafts. The bottles were the most expensive, $2.99 a bottle, but if you have a coupon at the right time you might get away with a good deal!!
First wipe the plate down with a light damp towel. I painted just one foot green, then stamped it twice. I didnt need to reapply paint the second time but you might want too. I let it dry. Then I had them dipp their thumb in the red to make the berries. Then I used their thumb, pointer finger, and middle finger to make the lights. Then with a green shapie I made the strings to attach the bulbs. I also used black sharpie to add the tops to the bulbs and the works Mistletoes. Then on the back I had them sign their names.
When it is dried for atleast 48 hours put the plate in the over for 350F for 30 minutes. This allows the enamel paint to set and you can use the plate without having the paint chip off. I dont recommend putting in the diswasher though. WARNING: Taking the plate out of the over do not touch the sharpie lines, they will rub off when you first take it out of the oven. It dries and wont come off when it cools.
Real cute but requires alot of feet and cleaning up of those feet! lol
HAVE FUN!!
