Step 2Now choose your paint color! If you're like me, you'll have plenty to choose from! I couldn't decide on one, so I painted each spoon a different color of the rainbow. |

Step 15I used acrylic paint, and because they're wooden spoons, I'm not going to put them in the dishwasher. If you would like to wash them in a dishwasher, use a paint that is o.k. with high temperatures. |
