Am I the only one who has been loving all the Christmas tins at Hobby Lobby? I fell in love with this retro tray and tin a while back. Last time I was there I picked up enough of them (at 50% off) to make some cute gifts. This is so stinkin’ easy I hate to even call it a tutorial….
Here’s the plate…. PRECIOUS! What do you get when you take this tray and the tin below??
You get a Christmas cake plate of course!
Here’s the world famous Gorilla Girl. I know the Shanty sisters made it famous, but my hubby has been using it for years around our house….. He loves him some Gorilla Glue, and I do too!
I took the top off of the tin and glued it to the back center of the tray using Gorilla Glue. A tall candle was the perfect size and weight to hold that sucka down. I left it to dry for about 2 hours to make sure it was good and stuck.
Here’s the final product. It turned out to be an ADORABLE Christmas cake plate. I am baking cookies and treats for the girls’ preschool teachers and wrapping them up with cellophane. I’m also writing their names and the year on the bottom with a Sharpie, so the teachers will remember my girls.
Another view on my table…It really is a cutie!
You wanna hear about the cheap? Each of these was about $2 to make. The trays were $2.67 BEFORE the 50% off, and the tins were $1.67. Don’t ask me about the $.67. I thought it was a weird amount too…. The total cost was just at $2.00! You can’t beat that for a cute gift can you??? I love cheap, but I REALLY love a cheap cutie! Let me know if you whip up any of these…..
hugs!

Wow! I love that tray even as is! Love the colors in it!
I saw those trays at Hobby Lobby when I was visiting family in TN (we don't have one in my area of VA, bummer). Love what you did with it! :)
Great ideas! Tim is our baker and I bet he would love to have his famous cookies on this idea rather than the paper plates he buys! LOL!
TOO CUTE!!!
Lou-Lou - I'm totally stealing this idea. I went today and bought all the supplies. I'm going to bake cookies and put them in the bottom tin, then baking each teacher a small cake and surrounding it with the homemade truffles that I'm making!
Thanks for the idea! Love you!
This is so cute! Perfect for Holiday parties where dishes are soon forgotten. (NOt that you'd want to forget these, but for that price... ) Great crafty idea, thanks for putting it out there, it's sure to be used this season! :)
