Paint-Dipped Utensils
Painting the handles of your wooden utensils is such an easy way to add some color to your kitchen. Alternatively, you can buy a pack of wooden utensils, paint them, and wrap them with a cute kitchen towel and ribbon and give them as a gift!
All you need is non-toxic paint and non-toxic paint gloss. Add whatever design you wish to the handles and let them dry. Then paint over the handles with the gloss and dry. You’re all set!

DIY Candle Glasses
I decided to put some of these together as part of little gifts I am making for my friends. They were relatively cheap to make, as all you need are
- Tea candles (*$2.99 /30 vanilla; ikea)
- Candle Glasses (*$1.98 /4; ikea)
- Stickers (*$1 /set; Target Dollar Zone)
- Mod Podge or other glue
- Decorative supplies (ribbon, glitter etc)
- Acetone to clean up excess glue
Be creative and decorate your glasses with any supplies you have. I had bought s bunch of stickers from the Dollar Zone from target that I used on most of these. On most, I did one big sticker on the “front” and small stickers making a pattern around the rest of the glass.
Let them glasses dry and clean off any messes with the acetone.
