Remember when I painted my kitchen spoon?
That turned into a full on “decorate all the wooden utensils in the kitchen” exercise. Well, not really {yet}. But it did spark an idea for a Mother’s Day gift for Junior.
I bought a set of bamboo kitchen utensils and prepared to get my decorate on
I got some paint and washi tape together.
I taped the spoons off where I didn’t want a specific paint color and got busy. I just sort of randomly decided where to paint as I went along.
After they were dry, I used washi tape and finished the decorations.
I put a quick coat of acrylic on the top to keep the paint from chipping or coming off when washed and they were ready to go.
What have you been painting or washi-ing recently?

It seems like washi tape is all the rage right now. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but this is a great way to utilize the fun colors and patterns!
