    I'm going to use thick rubber bands, They hold tight and leave a nice space between the colours I've choosen

  3. Small 105443 2f2014 11 08 093329 img 5457

    I've chosen Pink and Yellow! You can use acrylic or oil paints, but if using acrylic you may want to apply a clear sealer if your going to wash these regularly.

  4. Small 105443 2f2014 11 08 093455 img 5458

    Apply a few coats, allowing time to dry inbetween. While you're waiting, why not paint some other utensils as well!

    Once your happy with your coverage (2-3 coats is usually enough) and your paint has dried, it's time to remove the bands/tape! and TA-DA!
