Happy Tuesday! It’s time for the Creative Craft Hop – one of my favorite days each month – and I’ve got a super easy craft that packs a big bang for very little money or time. DIY Cooking Utensils!
Before I go any further I want to give a great big shout out to our host this month – Donna from Modern on Monticello – We could not do this without her!
If you are coming here from Rachels’s at Tea and Forget Me Nots , I am so happy that you are here!
Supplies
Here’s what you will need:
Scrapbook paper of your choice
Scissors
Pencil
Sandpaper
Gold Paint and brush
Hole Punch
Step 1
Choose your utensil and trace around the handle.
I like to flip my utensil over and lay it on the back side of the paper for this.
Step 2
Cut the outline that you traced.
Be sure to cut slightly on the inside of the outline.
Step 3
Line up the paper onto the handle, flip over and trace the hole on the handle.
Use a hole punch to cut out the hole.
Step 4
Apply an even coat of dishwasher safe Mod Podge onto the spoon.
Line the paper that you previously cut out onto the spoon and burnish, making sure to get rid of any air bubbles.
If you have any Mod Podge squeeze out the sides, gently wipe it off using a damp cloth or paper towel.
Let dry.
Step 5
Once you have let the Mod Podge dry, lightly sand off any excess paper on the edge of the handle.
Wipe off any dust or dirt.
Then apply another coat of the dishwasher safe Mod Podge.
I painted the Mod Podge to the top and side to ensure I had a proper seal.
At this point I thought that I was done, but the raw edge drove me crazy!
So I took my favorite gold paint and painted a stripe at the base of the paper.
It adds just enough glam and I don’t notice the seam.
These are so easy to make and I feel like they make great gifts as well as give your kitchen a little more color!
Now please join me in heading over to Donna’s to see her Creative Pens!
And when you are done there here’s a list so that you can visit the rest of the crafters!
