Painted wooden spoons

These prettily decorated wooden spoons make great gifts. Use them for serving your favourite foods, or simply as beautiful decorations for your kitchen.

Materials to make painted wooden spoons

Materials:

Wooden spoons (I got mine from a discount store)

Masking tape

Paint – I used Resene colours Milk Punch  (white), Romantic (peach), Geraldine (pink), Morning Glory (green) and Riptide (blue)

Paint brushes.

DIY for painted spoons

Use masking tape to mark off sections of the handle of your wooden spoons that you don’t want to paint.

Apply two layers of paint to the bare sections  of the spoons, allowing the first layer to dry thoroughly before applying the next. I stood mine in a dish rack to dry.

Allow spoons to dry overnight, then carefully

peel off the masking tape.
