How to Make a Decorated Kitchen Set for the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

Surprise mom with the perfect Mother’s Day gift—a decorated kitchen set made specially for her. Personalize it using her favorite colors, or coordinate shades and patterns to compliment her kitchen decor.

Here are the supplies that you’ll need:

• Kitchen utensil set with wooden handles
• Acrylic paints
• Dishwasher safe ModPodge
• Paint brushes

Follow these instructions to make your Mother’s Day gift:

1. Decide on the paint colors and patterns for the utensil handles. Think of combinations of dots, lines, strips, zigzags, etc. Practice your designs on scrap paper. It may be helpful to lightly trace designs onto the utensil handle with a pencil.
2. Painter’s tape can be used to make pattern outlines.
3. Now, it’s time to paint your design onto the utensils. Let the paint dry thoroughly before going to the next step.
4. Apply a coat or two of dishwasher safe ModPodge to the utensil handles.
5. Tie a ribbon around your decorated kitchen set and present the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
