I've been giving our kitchen a crafty makeover recently and decided to make some wood burned utensils with cat and bear faces.
I've been giving our kitchen a crafty makeover recently and decided to make some wood burned utensils with cat and bear faces.
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.
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.
Dip the handles of each of your utensils in the paint.
Place each utensil upside down in the glasses, with the handles pointing up and allow the paint to drip down. Leave to dry.
If you'd prefer a neat edge, use masking tape to mark a line.
Sketch some smiley faces on the backs of your spoons and spatulas and carefully trace the design with a wood burner.
When you're happy with the design, erase away and excess pencil marks.
You're all done!
