FAQs

Are these spoons food-safe?

The spoons are supplied plain and unfinished. While they are made of wood, they are intended for craft purposes. If you intend to use them for food, they must be thoroughly cleaned, dried, and sealed with a certified food-safe sealant.

What is the best way to seal the finished decorations?

A clear acrylic spray sealant or a brush-on craft varnish works well. Choose a product appropriate for your decoration materials and ensure it is non-toxic if children will handle the item.

Can I use these for outdoor plant markers?

Yes, you can. However, to protect them from weather, it is highly recommended to seal them thoroughly with a waterproof outdoor craft sealant after decorating.

What type of paint is best for these spoons?

Acrylic paints are generally the best choice as they adhere well to wood and dry relatively quickly. Poster paints can also be used but may require sealing for durability.

How should I store the unfinished spoons?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or damage.

What are the dimensions of each spoon?

Each spoon measures 31cm in length, and the spoon head is 4.5cm wide.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well or looking patchy.

Ensure the wooden surface is clean and dry. For smoother results, consider applying a thin layer of primer or gesso before painting.

Glue not holding embellishments securely.

Use a strong craft glue suitable for wood and the specific embellishment material. Ensure both surfaces are clean and allow adequate drying time under pressure if necessary.

Wood splintering during decoration.

Handle the spoons gently. If minor splinters occur, they can often be smoothed down with fine-grit sandpaper before decorating. Avoid excessive force when applying decorations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To ensure longevity of decorated items:

  1. Decoration: Apply your chosen decorations. Allow ample drying time for paints, glues, and stains.
  2. Sealing: For items intended for occasional contact with moisture (like plant spikes), or for added durability, apply a clear sealant or varnish suitable for wood crafts. Ensure the sealant is non-toxic if the item might be handled by children.
  3. Cleaning: Decorated spoons should be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them in water, as this can damage the wood and decorations.
