Mod Podge Plate


Sorry about the glare on the picture. All you need for this is some cute paper, Mod Podge (Kind of like white Elmer's glue, you'll find it in the craft section. I prefer matte finish), and a clear glass plate. I bought my plate at Wal-mart for about $1.50.
Apply pieces of your paper to the backside of the plate with the Mod Podge. To do this, brush some Mod Podge onto the backside of the plate, then place the paper over on top of the Mod Podge, then brush Mod Podge over the paper. It looks ugly at first and it's kind of messy, but it all dries clear. Make sure to do the right side of the paper facing through the plate, so you can see it from the front side :-)
Obviously the plate's not dishwasher safe after this, but it makes a cute kitchen decoration when propped up on a little stand :-)

Snowmen Cookies

These are a little tradition of mine. They are really easy to make and they turn out really cute. You just need Nutter Butter cookies, white melting chocolate or almond bark, and black and orange sprinkles.
Melt the chocolate, cover the cookie, and decorate with the sprinkles. Tada!
