Hi, I’m Carrie and I blog about creating a lovely home for less at Lovely Etc.

While I adore being a wife and mom, I also have an insatiable need to create! I love figuring out how to make beautiful things – even if it means firing up a few power tools. And I am all about finding ways to create exactly what I want for as little money as possible. I usually have at least five or six DIY projects going on at any one time and they are pretty much guaranteed to involve an awesome yard sale find, my trusty jigsaw, or my vast collection of turquoise paints.

I have a super simple, fast, and inexpensive project to share today – which is basically the best kind of project!

Painted & Washi Tape Kitchen Utensils

June 4, 2012 By Shannah 20 Comments

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?
