Supplies:
Any type of flatware (mismatched vintage pieces are inexpensive and look great)
Metal primer spray paint
Spray paint
Tools:
Painter’s tape
Sandwich baggie
Step 1
Wrap a piece of painter’s tape around the neck of your utensil, making sure to create a straight line. Then take your baggie and wrap it around the head of the utensil, securing it with more tape.
Step 2
Hold your utensil by the head and spray it lightly with the metal primer in a well ventilated area. Make sure this is a LIGHT coat – otherwise it will drip and fill in all the great carvings.
Step 3
Repeat step two with spray paint color of your choice! Air dry fully before removing the tape and plastic.
NOTE: Painted utensils are for display only, they’re NOT food safe! Feel free to experiment with sealing them with a coat of polyurethane for regular use.
