Make a ‘Thank You’ Plate for Santa!
November 30, 2009 by Alison
What’s the estimated amount of cookies left out for Santa on Christmas Eve?
84 MILLION!
Whoo Weee! That’s a lot of cookies!
We think Santa needs to be thanked…so we are having our kids write ‘Thank You’ notes to the man with the white beard!
If you need a plate to hold all the cookies for Santa, here’s what we did to one from the dollar store.
1. White Dollar Store Plate
2. Permanent Vinyl (Use your Cricut that you bought this weekend or today for super cheap(at Roberts for only $229 with free shipping) or call your Vinyl lady)
We are working on finding a vinyl company that sells small orders. Most want to sell big quantities!
We are ordering some right now from some companies so that I can test the quality of the vinyl and the ‘store.’ As soon as HowDoesShe has some reputable companies we will let you know! If you can’t wait…try etsy.com or search U-Tube. If you’ve found one let us know!! We will only suggest good companies!
I hand wash my mugs and cups with vinyl on them (although, my daughter has put her mug in the dishwasher and nothing happened).
3. Apply Vinyl
EASY!!
This would also be cute to give as a neighbor or teacher gift.
More Ideas: Happy Birthday, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, You are special, etc.
Oh, the possibilities!

Where do you find permanent vinyl? I have a cricut I got on friday and would love to make the santa plate.
Thanks,

Hi there. I wanted to let you know that I have a vinyl cutter and will do small orders. I have been doing small projects for about 5 years along with doing many Christmas bazaars. My prices are VERY competitive. You can see some of my work by going to http://www.shadycreekdesigns.blogspot.com/
I would be happy to provide you with some samples also.
Thanks,

I’d be happy to do small orders for Eastern Idaho ladies. I do have permanent vinyl and my inventory is growing all the time.

Cute plate! I’ve been wanting to do something like this with my kids. Where do you find food safe vinyl? And do you coat the plate with anything to keep the vinyl from peeling up? Thanks!
I only placed the cookies on it for santa. I wouldn’t put actual food on it and eat off it. Use it for more a decorative holiday piece. The vinyl really stuck so nothing was needed to go over it. It has not peeled and it’s been over a year:) Hope that helps!
Absolutely LOVE this idea!! Count me in on making one!!!
