Easiest DIY ever! 3 easy steps for dipped wooden utensils

This is probably the easiest DIY I've ever done. 

What's better:
​
A) Under $10 for four painted wooden utensils, or B) a DIY project in under 30 minutes? 

How about BOTH!

What you need: 
  • A paint brush or two 
  • Wooden utensils - I have a whole hoard of wooden utensils, but of course...I got new ones from the DOLLAR TREE. Obviously, this was the inspiration for this project. The majority of utensils I already have were gifted to me from amazing places like Africa and Greece. I didn't want to taint their integrity with paint. You might have different feelings about your current wooden utensils. 
  • Paint - I used generic/cheap acrylic paint I already had. Alternately, it costs anywhere between $0.50 and $1 each at Hobby Lobby. I factored this into my less than $10 guesstimate. 
  • Painter's tape or masking tape 
  • Cookie rack - this is optional. I used mine to hold the utensils up for drying. You could also use a cup. 
  • All purpose sealer - this is to help seal the acrylic paint. If you're just using these for decor, don't worry about it. If you're planning to actually cook with them or use them, I suggest sealing it. Some tutorials suggest food safe shellac. I was in too much of a hurry to hunt that down, so I settled with the sealer. I definitely plan to hand wash...aren't you supposed to hand wash wooden utensils anyway? Sealer is around $3. 


What to do: 
Drum roll please...
