Christmas Glass Painted Plate

This is a craft we did at our last MOPS meeting and I LOVED it!!
  1. Take a see-through glass plate from Dollar Store or Old Time Pottery
  2. Draw on the top in dry erase markers what you want to do for a design
  3. Flip the plate over and begin to paint with glass paints. A little paint goes a long way.
  4. Paint in layers and let it dry between layers (the paint dries very fast). For example, in this photo, I had to paint the berries and leaves on the hat before painting the white hat over it. I hope to do a final color layer over all of this to make it really pop. Just haven't had time.
  5. Follow baking directions on paint bottle.
  6. Add some cookies and give as gifts.

I can't wait to do more of these - such as:

  1. A snowman with these Snowman Nativity Poems attached
  2. A nativity scene
  3. Angel
  4. Stocking

The list is endless and so much fun!
