Labor Day weekend we went to visit my son and daughter in law. I brought her a gift I had made and she liked it so much we decided to make one together for her friend.
The above plate was created by US! and we used the simplest items.
Molly wasn't sure if we'd use all the stickers shown...in the end we chose just the chair and seagull. PERFECT. Simple yet nice.
We found the plate at Old Time Pottery...LOVE THAT STORE! and stickers and plate holder at Michael's Craft Store...and she owned a Sharpie pen. That's it!
I practised a little on a piece of paper the words..WELCOME HOME...and let Molly choose which one she liked.
I then just wrote right on the plate. It dries and is permanent...unless you scrub. But for a table decor you need not scrub it clean..simply dust lightly. VOILA.
Here is the one I surprised Molly with...
My plate is from Walmart and the plate stand. There are so many fun plates to choose from..the possibilities are endless!!
Sooo...my friends can be expecting Personalized gifts this year!
Sharpie's also come in many colors! How 'bout a kids personalized plate with cute colored polka dots!
Can't wait to see your Creative Heart plates! Hey...I need to make ME one!!

These are just fabulous and of course, it helps that you can do beautiful, freehand writing like that!
oh these are cute...what a great idea...I have also seen where you paint the inside of the plate with black chalkboard paint..and have a little message plate that you can write on with chalk...
just love new ideas..

That is a brilliant idea!! I'll be making some of these myself. Thanks for showing us!
Hello! It has been a while since I have stopped over at your blog. However, once again, I am so glad I did. I am definitely borrowing this idea. How cute!! What a brilliant idea!!
Enjoy your week!
very cute...I meant to tell you if you put it in the over for 20 to 30 minutes on 300 degrees it makes the ink permanent!
It looks great Hope, now I'm thinking about what if a person just used the craft paints to paint on a plate? Like you said, it could just be dusted. I'm thinking of a coffee cup with swirls of steam---'Java Break Time' or something like that. Add it to the project list (mile long now).
