You all know me by now, Christmas is my all time favorite time of the year!
Today, I am sharing how you can make a cute little holiday platter. You could easily change the theme to your favorite holiday figure, such as, a snowman or even a nutcracker. It’s super easy and cost little to nothing to make.
Supplies needed to make your platter:
- Dollar Tree silver banquet platter
- Paints in the colors of your theme
Since I am making a Santa’s suit, I used:
- Krylon in the color Gloss Banner Red
- Apple Barrell craft paint in the colors; white and black and Folk art in the color metallic gold
- black sharpie
- a Dollar Tree sponge dobber
Paint the entire platter with your main color.
SANTA’S SUIT TUTOIRAL
Making Santa’s belt, I am using a ruler and pencil to mark two lines in the center of my platter. I used a black sharpie to out line the lines.
Taking the black craft paint, painting in the space of the two lines.
A belt isn’t a belt without a buckle. Taking out the ruler again making two squares, one inside the other.
I either didn’t take a photo of the next two steps or I lost them. Anyway, paint the space in the two squares and outline it with a black sharpie.
Adding a little fun to the platter, I printed out the words Ho Ho Ho. Added the words to the plate by scribbling the back with a pencil and then tracing it onto the platter. Painted the words white.
Next, I dabbed a circle sponge into the black paint and pushed it in the center top of the platter.
I added a little snowflake design inside the circle.
- starting with 4 dots
- drawing a line connecting the dots
- making 4 more dots in between the first 4 dots
- drawing lines to the center.
I wish I was a little better in the detailing, but you get the jest of it all. Put your own detailing on it and make it your own. I think it is a cute platter.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
So cute Terrie, I pinned to remember for the holidays this year.
Thank you so much Corine!
Oh my goodness, Terrie!! This tray is absolutely the cutest!! I could definitely see these as charger plates with Buffalo check napkins!! Thank u so much for the inspiration!!
that would be so cute Christine, I have to agree. Thank you for coming over to visit!
Adorable as always Terrie! You’re always creative
Thank you so much Cindy!
Super cute Terrie!
Thanks Jemma. So many different ways to make them cute.
This is such a fun idea! It turned out great! I’ve got a few of those dollar tree platters on hand and this has given me ideas on how to use them. I don’t paint well enough to do this, but I’m thinking of using my Cricut for them.
So many possibilities for those platters. As you can see I don’t have a steady hand myself. Cricut would be a great tool to use for writing!
I love what you created, Terrie!
Thank you so much Paula. It was so easy to make and turned out so cute.
Very clever, Terrie. I love how you made the snowflake button!
Thanks Ann. The little snowflake is so cute.
Your platter is adorable, Terrie! I bet your grandbaby would love seeing cookies for Santa on this on Christmas Eve!
My grandbaby and hubby. Mr. Tip loves his cookies. ha! Thanks Gail!
Terrie this is absolutely adorable. It was so inspirational that I got to thinking – wouldn’t it be cute to do different elf outfits for the children’s table? Mrs. Claus? Or even characters from Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer… Is my geek showing? ha! Probably. I LOVE this! Just too cute. I am definitely making a few of these!
Your idea is perfect and yes it would be so cute. I can’t wait to see your platters, because you have a talent for painting with details!
Thanks Tammy!
