Paint a new Christmas Eve tradition for your home! The perfect Cookies For Santa Plate to fill with goodies and memories every year. Step-by-step instructions make this project perfect for all skill levels.

Favorite Rim Dinner Plate

Large Square Brush

Liner Brush

Pencil

Tissue Paper

Water-based Marker

Happy Go Lucky

Rocking Red

Not Quite White

Polar Bear

Apply diagonal strips of tape around the rim of your plate to create evenly spaced stripes. Paint the exposed sections, alternating between Happy Go Lucky (green) and Rocking Red (red). Paint 3 coats of each color, letting the paint dry between each coat. Once the paint is dry, carefully remove the tape to reveal your stripes.
Apply 1 coat of Polar Bear (bright white) or Not Quite White (natural white) to the center of your plate. Allow it to dry before transferring your designs.
While your white paint is drying, place tissue paper over the provided traceable images. Using a pencil, trace the "Cookies for Santa" lettering, 2-3 of your favorite Christmas stamps, and Santa's address onto the tissue paper.
Using the sample plate as a guide, position the tissue paper on your plate placement with the pencil marks facing up. Use a water-based marker to trace over your pencil lines, transferring the designs onto your plate. Repeat for each image until you're happy with your layout.
Use a pencil to lightly sketch your return address onto the plate. If you need help with lettering, we can print your address in one of our studio fonts so you can use the same tissue paper tracing technique to transfer it onto your plate.
Using a writer bottle or small liner brush, carefully outline and fill in the lettering, stamps, and other designs you've transferred. Add any extra details, such as little stars, snowflakes, or dots, to complete your Christmas plate!
