Painted Wooden Spoons


Wooden spoons are one of those kitchen basics that you just cant have too many of. But just because they are workhorses doesn’t mean they don’t have to be pretty. A little tape, a little paint and a little drying time and even the humblest of wooden spoons will be an eye-catcher.

Things you’ll need:
Wooden Spoons
Fine grit sand paper
Acrylic paint
Clear coat
Masking tape

Things to do:
1. Tape off a section of the handle, anywhere from 3-5 inches from the end, and smooth the tape down well with the edge of your fingernail so that the paint wont seep under.

2. Lightly sand the area to be painted

3. Brush on the paint in thin coats, allowing each to dry before adding the next, until the wood is well covered.
4. Coat lightly with clear coat to protect the paint and allow it to cure for 24 hours before using. Wash by hand.
