I've been giving our kitchen a crafty makeover recently and decided to make some wood burned utensils with cat and bear faces.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Kitchen Utensils
  • Paint
  • Masking Tape
  • Wood Burner
  • Pencil
  • Eraser

Steps (8 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    You'll need a set of basic wooden utensils for this craft. You should be able to pick up a set cheaply at your local supermarket, though this will work great with old ones too.

  2. 2

    Set six glasses, which are big enough to hold your utensils upright on a counter. Pick some paint to match your kitchen. Our kitchen has a colour theme of rainbow and chrome, so I choose a chrome enamel paint.

  3. 3

    Dip the handles of each of your utensils in the paint.

  4. 4

    Place each utensil upside down in the glasses, with the handles pointing up and allow the paint to drip down. Leave to dry.

  5. 5

    If you'd prefer a neat edge, use masking tape to mark a line.

  6. 6

    Sketch some smiley faces on the backs of your spoons and spatulas and carefully trace the design with a wood burner.

  7. 7

    When you're happy with the design, erase away and excess pencil marks.

  8. 8

    You're all done!
