Decorated Wooden Kitchen Utensils


Hi, friends! Thanks for stopping by for another fun Frugal Gift Friday. Today’s thrifty gift project cost me less than $1. Yes, you read that right. I purchased a set of wooden kitchen utensils at Walmart for a whopping 88 cents and transformed them with some Mod Podge and fabric scraps I had on hand in my craft supply closet. These decorated wooden kitchen utensils are going to be the perfect gift for someone this year!

Forget boring spoons, make a statement with this easy gift idea - decorate wooden kitchen utensils. Find out how to make them at Sparkles of Sunshine.

Forget boring kitchen utensils…today we are dressing them up with a fun project for the chef on your Christmas shopping list. Wooden kitchen utensils are classic, but decorating them with Mod Podge and fabric will make them modern. It’s easy to personalize these gifts by using seasonal fabrics, fabric to match someone’s kitchen, or fabric in someone’s favorite color.

Here is what you will need for this project:

  • set of wooden kitchen utensils
  • fabric scraps

Step 2: Apply Fabric Mod Podge to the kitchen utensil handle using a sponge brush, applying only to the area the fabric will cover. Wrap the fabric around the handle and press to make sure there are no air bubbles. Let it dry for 15 minutes. 

Step 3: Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the fabric and let it dry for 15 minutes. 

Step 4: Apply a another coat of Fabric Mod Podge to the fabric and let it dry for 15 minutes.

Step 5: This is the last step…and will help waterproof your project! Apply a final coat of Hard Coat Mod Podge and let it dry for at least 72 hours prior to use.
