When life seems strained by the hectic pace surrounding us, it's nice to know that Make A Plate can preserve that special, happy moment-in-time for so many families and is something they will keep forever. Makit began as the creation of Bob Hodges in 1969. One day a neighbor, who was a teacher said, "Wouldn't it be fantastic to capture kids' artwork on something useful, instead of it falling off the refrigerator and throwing it out?" With a background in plastics and dinnerware manufacturing Bob saw an opportunity to create a craft medium that children and parents would love. The Make A Plate was born. School teachers across the country continue to use our products for class art projects and family traditions have sprung up as generations create designs that become treasured heirlooms.
