My boys are getting older which means that as I do laundry, I am always in for a surprise or two when I empty their pockets. From pirate treasure to precious rocks, I’ve seen some interesting keepsakes they’ve stowed away while exploring the nature in our backyard. Typically, I toss them onto my dryer which then drops the treasures into the floor while it’s vibrating and drying the clothes, ha! I thought I’d create a few Monogrammed Trinket Dishes for each of my kiddos to store their pocket friends until I can remember to return the items to them. And with their initials displayed on the dish, it’s a handy way for them to know which items are theirs.
SUPPLIES
- small dessert plates
- oil based markers (specially made for glass)
To start, I simply doodled each child’s initial onto the glass.
Next, I added a few embellishments to reflect their personalities.
For my little fruit loving girl, I added some strawberries and blossoms. For my oldest space loving boy, I added a moon and stars. And for my middle boy I added a couple of toadstools.
This project is so simple. And while I completed our trinket dishes on my own, I easily could have let them join in on the fun to create their own designs. These adorable little monogrammed trinket dishes now sit on our dryer collecting their pocket treasure.
For my nature exploring kiddos, dirty clothing is a daily frustration, but one I’m happy to have so that I can just let them be kids, getting down and dirty as they explore and discover the nature in our desert home.
