A Spoonful of Sugar Valentines {DIY}

Remember that super sweet picture I took of Buggie the other day?
While here is what I ended up using them for...

I did this DIY, where I personalized spoons, a while back. But this time I decided to paint the spoons for a little added flare.

Supplies:
- spoons {dollar store has 2 for $1}
- wire
- wire cutters
- letter beads
- spray paint


Once the dollar store spoons were painted, we got to wrapping.


Buggie had a good time helping me spelling out all her friends names in her class.
Starting at the bottom of the spoon on the back, fold a little wire up, and wrap a few times.
Then start adding beads, wrapping a few times in between each letter.
To end wrap several times then tuck the wire through the back.



Add a little Kiss to the spoon with some double sided tape, for that little bit of sugar.



I am OVER THE MOON with how they turned out.
Enjoy!

I love this idea and might do it. But I have a question. Did you use special spray paint? Should they not be put in liquids? I would be affraid of the paint in their food and mouths. Thanks! Amber

I took inspriation from you and made these for my daughter's Pre-K class. I am really bad with spray paint but apart from that mess, they were super easy! My little one insisted on Starbursts on the spoons and while this would not have been my first choice, they still looked great and wowed everyone. Thanks for a fantastic idea!
