Christmas cookie plate

12/02/16 | Christmas

25-1

Looking for a holiday gift idea that doesn’t cost a lot of money? And is meaningful?

Me too! This time of year can get crazy budget-wise because there are so many people we genuinely want to do something nice for. Enter the Kindness Cookie Plate. The homemade gift idea that keeps on giving…and giving…and giving!

Christmas Cookie Plate

The idea behind the kindness cookie plate is that each recipient gets to enjoy a special treat and then refill the plate and pass it on to someone else. It’s a great way to spread holiday cheer (anytime of year) without spending a lot of money. You’ll be amazed at how much cheer one little plate can spread.

They can be hard to find but it’s so simple to design and create your own to give out to your loved ones this holiday season. 

How to Make a Cookie Plate

What you need:

  • white plate 
  • paint markers
  • rubbing alcohol
  • cotton balls

Clean the plate thoroughly with the rubbing alcohol so the marker will adhere. Once its clean be careful not to touch it or the marker won’t stick where your fingerprints are. Prep the pens according to the package directions and use them to write on the plate.

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Draw your design.
  3. Put plate in the oven and bake for an hour. Then shut off the oven and let it cool before taking it out. (This way you won’t accidentally touch the plate and smudge your design)

Once it’s ready fill with yummy Christmas Cookies  or other fun treats and gift it to a special family. After they enjoy the treats they can gift it to someone else without having to spend a lot of time or money–which is a great to gift in itself!

    Ok, this idea is pretty genius! I’d love to just pick one up at the store, but it’s nice to know I can make one without too much difficulty. Definitely a tradition we’ll have to start!

    Love the idea of personalizing it. I would do something like “Do not return – refill and pass it on!”

    What a nice idea! I used to buy customized plates and they cost almost $20! I just got one and never tried it again because it’s kind of expensive for just a plate. With this ‘craft’ I can probably do 5 or more at the same price! Thanks, I never would have thought about it myself. LOL!

    What a great idea! As a teacher these would be great for kids to make in school too , of course no baking during the day but afterwards it could happen. This would be great for birthday’s too.

    This is a really cool idea. Anything where you are being kind to someone, then asking them to pass that kindness along is a great idea. And sharing cookies/sweet treats with others is always nice, then add the sweet plate that you purchase already decorated or do it yourself, phenomenal!
