paint dipped utensils

I did it. I got on the paint-dipped band wagon and dipped some new utensils for a bridal shower I attended, and while I was at it I dipped some of my own. Then I gave them a nice buffing with some butcher block conditioner to make them shine like new. With all the new house stuff I've been busy with (cleaning, painting, moving, organizing, going crazy), this quick and easy project is about all I had time for. I used some leftover "opps" paint I had, then protected the painted portion with some non-toxic shellac.

Here was my inspiration:

Paint Dipped Utensils from House of Earnest.
It makes me happy when I can give some love to something old and give it new life. :)

I'm linking up to the Pinterest Challenge I talked about last week, so be sure and go check out all the awesome projects!

    These are so easy aren't they? I made some too and love the color they bring to the kitchen. Great job!

    Now why didn't I think of that? I drool over these at the store, but hate to pay the big bucks for them. I'm seeing some paint dipping in my future!

    I've always wanted to try this. And I agree about the old thing, new life. It feels so good to repurpose or reuse something.

    I've seen those and often considered doing some myself. Good for you for actually making your utensils so pretty.
