How to do a santa plate?

Tammy86

Hi,
I'm thinking of doing a santa plate this year for LO (mince pie, carrot drink) and would love to keep it for next xmas.

I've had a look for ceramic pens but most are expensive and are not dishwasher safe.

Can anyone help?

I love this idea! I've been thinking about personalising plates for Christmas this year and I'm going to give these peel-off china markers a go.

I don't have any ideas (except poundland, melamine, job done ) but I was wondering...one plate for one use a year....does it have to be dishwasher safe?

I use Pebeo 150 for my plates etc. Once baked it is dishwasher safe

Probably not but my OH has a habit of putting everything in the dishwasher so it's possibly best to be safe than sorry.

Plus I was thinking of selling these at LO xmas fair.:)

Just don't repeat my experience ..... I did one afew years ago. I painted santa and then a mince pie underneath. Unfortunately it looks more like Santa doing as poo! It provides a great laugh to family and friends each year. Embarrasing for me but it still gets pulled out on Xmas eve!!
