Tips for Making Painted Wooden Spoons

Because the wood used to make these spoons tends to be porous, it is suggested to paint two coats in Step 1 and Step 3.
If the kids are going to play with their painted wooden spoons outside, giving them a coat of sealant is a good idea. This will keep them safe when taken out into the elements.
If you don’t want to draw on the lips and beauty marks freehand, we have a suggestion. Turn the face pattern over and pencil across the lip and beauty mark area. Flip the pattern over and fit it onto the spoon. Using the pencil, trace the lips and beauty marks onto the spoon. The graphite will leave behind a pattern for you to follow. Perfection!

Notes for Making Sanderson Sisters Wooden Spoons

To make the cutting easier for the younger kiddos, use the marker to trace the hair pattern. It is often easier for the littles to cut around that black line than around the pattern itself.
Depending on how thick the glitter glue is on the stitching on the dresses, it may take a bit longer to dry than the paint did.
You can use white school glue for this project but give additional drying time. Be sure not to go on too thick with the glue or it will seep through the felt.
