I can’t tell you how long I have been wanting to get a cute spoon rest. (They are actually harder to find than you would think.) I’ve seen lots of Plain Jane spoon rests, and I’ve desperately wanted to play around with a porcelain paint pen on one, but unfortunately none of our paint pens are food-safe. However, I finally took the time to dig around and found a set of paint pens that are safe for food use—Jackpot!
So here’s a super simple spoon rest I customized with a plain porcelain spoon rest and food-safe porcelain paint pens.
I just washed my spoon rest. Then, I used a pencil to lightly mark my design on the inside of the spoon rest. Then, I just followed my outline with the porcelain pens and waited for the paint to fully dry (per paint pen directions) before washing. Done and done.
Even if it’s the simplest thing, I love making everyday objects a little more fun, and seeing this little kitty face every time I put a spoon down will certainly brighten my day. The great thing about this project is that you can personalize it however you want! You can use another animal reference, a pattern, or even a phrase. If I make another one it’s totally going to say, “Let’s spoon.” I know, I know, I’m just too hilarious. Hold your applause please…xo. Laura

Ok so I have ZERO artistic talent but I can copycat like no ones business! Any chance you’ll sketch an equally adorable doggie face for us dog lovers to use??? Such a fab idea!

So cute + a fun DIY gift idea or something to do with kids on a rainy day.
Lovely!
Awweee that is soo cute… love this idea…!!
So cute, and I’m sure a lot of people are glad you linked to booth a blank spoon set and the pens that are safe for this!
The shop that I work at (Fiddle Stix Boutique in Perrysburg, Ohio) carries tons of ceramic items that we personalize with names, dates, etc. We use a paint pen called “Porcelain 150” by “Pebeo”. I swear by them! All you have to do is bake the finished product in the oven for 35 minutes at 350 degrees, let it cool and it’s ready to serve on and hand wash! They can be found at a lot of craft stores.
This is SO cute! I love anything with cats 🙂
So adorable and useful! Love this idea!
