DIY Color Blocked Spoons


Color blocking is super in-style right now, mostly for fashion. I saw something similar to these spoons online for $30 and I thought, "I can do that....and cheaper, and in better colors". I bought these wooden spoons at the dollar store. I'd recommend just painting the ones you have. (They're probably nicer, and FREE!)

Cost: Less than $5 !
Difficulty: super easy

You need:
Wooden spoon(s)
Paint and brush
Cups to dry the spoons in

Step 1:
Paint 1/2 the handle of your spoons with your fave color.


Step 2:
Let it dry upside down in a cup. (optional: add a clear coat to protect the paint while washing)


TA -DA!

 This craft is so ridiculously easy that my mom actually said, "Is that it?!" Yep..that's it. Enjoy!

Munchkin Craft





This was fun, easy, and very cute. 
We let her pick some paint colors and told her to go nuts!
Although, she's a little bit of a neat freak...and when I say "Go Nuts" I mean that she was very apprehensive about mixing paint brushes and colors. She would stop every time she got paint on herself and ask her mommy to wipe it off. We had to coerce her into mixing things up but the end product was great.  

 

My parents loved the gift! Cheap, easy, and memorable! 


My sister and my 3 year old niece came to visit before Christmas! My sister has the creative gene too, so she brought a blank canvas with her for my niece to paint and give to grandma and grandpa as a Christmas Gift.
