Angular Colored Wooden Utensils

Remember this project?

Well, after my sister's bridal shower she was swimming in [boring] wooden utensils. Functional? Yes, but quite lackluster. I convinced her to add some zest & she couldn't be happier with the result.

All you need is spray paint, wooden utensils, & 3M Painter's Tape
For great selection of spray paint... hello Ace Hardware! I give you the mother-load:

Just place the tape at an angle on the wood, spray primer, spray color, let dry & peel tape off.

For the round-handled ones, we just taped all the way around & spray painted.

The blue hues go perfect with her new aqua Kitchen Aid!

Tuesday Tutorial: Color Block Spatulas

I measured 3 inches up from the end of the handle, marked it with pencil & taped each utensil. Because these are bamboo, they were grainy/porous, so I used primer. Depending on your material, you may not need primer at all.

After the primer is dry, spray a light layer of paint. Make sure to get the sides and the bottom.

Let dry & flip repeating on the other side. I used two coats on either side. Peel off tape as soon as paint is dry.

This is a trendy and original way to incorporate color into the kitchen (not to mention fast & affordable). Enjoy!

Random Updates

Life is pretty busy around here. Just finished up a week of dog-sitting for a little prince (aka a golden retriever named Dixon). I've been hunting for apartments and signed a lease on Saturday for a cute little studio in downtown Denver! I move in the 1st of October. I have a medical school interview on Saturday (pray for me!). & I'm getting ready for my first ever craft fair in December (more updates to come). Whew, that's enough to keep me busy!  But not too busy for a little crafting. Here's a quick little up-cycle craft project that involved some old frames and a few coats of spray paint. Love it. Moving updates soon.

Can't wait to display these in the new apartment. Lovely print from Naptime Diaries & paint mosaic project found here.

Playing around with some ISO.

A certain little man chewed one shoe to smithereens. The other, only a nibble. Luckily these were only $7.50

Biggest Loser starts tonight! YAY.
Happy Tuesday.
