I’m sure most of you have seen the various paint dipped wooden spoons and utensils making their rounds on pinterest recently. I decided to make a set for our kitchen, using a striped design rather than just one solid color.

I sanded and washed the utensils, then used tape and craft paints to create the striped designs. The finishing touch is a non-toxic shallac safe for food areas. I applied it just to the handles, in order to protect the paint.

They add a fun pop of color to my kitchen, and the dinner table!

Tip : Even with the protective shallac coating, it’s best to hand-wash the utensils.
