D.I.Y | Kitchen : Painted Wooden Spoons

Posted on by 6 COMMENTS

These spoons were made for walking!

I am enjoying the fashion craze of brightly colored pants. I have long been a fan of colored pants. The boldness of a vibrant color paired with a neutral tan or white is smart and chic, and says “I’m not afraid of standing out in a crowd”. Why not express fashion style in the kitchen? Even your kitchen utensils want a bright, spring moment. Thus, I set out shopping and found a set of 8 wooden spoons (for under 5 dollars) to create with. I used a few of my favorite colors and recharged myself with an hour of painting and a rainy day movie.

I was tickled pink of how pretty these spoons came out. I am actually planning on making a couple more sets for gifts. Easy, inexpensive, and fun! Now, ready spoons? Start walking!

D.I.Y Painted Wooden Spoons

Need:

  • Wooden Spoons
  • Painters Tape
  • Acrylic Paint or non toxic paint (It is food safe if you are not painting the ends that come in contact with food)
  • Paintbrush
How:
After you have bought your supplies and picked out your colors. Think of your design. Stripes, Polka Dots, or chevron stripes. There are many options. Use the tape to outline the painting areas. Apply at least two coats of paint (Neon paint requires about 4), allow to dry and then gently remove the tape. Continue ’till you have your desired design. Dry overnight before using and gently hand wash after each use.
