Makit, the Make-a-Plate company that made those make-your-own plate kits when you were a kid, is still cranking out timeless keepsakes. I still have mine from kindergarten! And no, I’m NOT saying how old they are, but it takes more than one hand to count the presidents since then–I’ll leave it at that.
Whether you’ve heard of Make-a-Plate kits
The individual Make-a-Plate Craft Kit by Makit Products price includes the production and return shipping of one finished item–choose from a plate, bowl, drink bottle, and more. Because the kit price includes producing one item, it’s a great gift idea. Your gift recipient can also have more items made from the same kit for additional fees.
How Makit Make-a-Plate Kits Work:
- First, buy the Makit kit. The kit includes art paper, markers, instructions, a return envelope, and a voucher for the production of one item. Yes! You can order more items from one kit for additional fees.
- Next, let your imagination go wild– kids create a masterpiece; moms record favorite family recipes; friends create memory plates for brides, graduates, and coaches… the possibilities are endless.
- Last, send in your artwork to be preserved as a durable, dishwasher-safe melamine plastic plate, bowl, drinking bottle or other item of your choice.

My friend has 2 pictures drawn on the round paper made for making plastic plates by her grandchildren 8 years ago. Now she wants to get the plates made. How can she do this? Who would she send them to to get made?
Thank you,
Stephanie
I ordered the Girl Scout set about 17 years ago, for my daughter’s Girl Scout troup. I still have 3 plates she made, all in excellent shape. This is a great product, and memories are priceless! Thank you so much! Now I want to have my grandkids make some.
I still have mine from the 70’s! Make–Plate is great and US-made, too!
Cheers!

I have done the plates since 1985. I also did not plates which were loved by mom’s. Great crafts for children to share with family.
Hot plates were wonderful for the,mom’s. We miss them.
I know! They discontinued them years ago and I really loved them!
