Make a mouse from your wooden spoon. You'll need gray paint, craft glue, gray and pink felt, googly eyes, markers and a pipe cleaner. In addition, you'll need a pair of scissors.
Paint the entire spoon gray. You may brush the paint on or use spray paint. Allow about an hour for the paint to dry. While it's drying, cut out two sets of mouse ears with the gray and pink felt, making the pink ears just a little bit smaller than the gray ears. Paint your pipe cleaner with gray paint and allow it to dry.
Glue the pink ears onto the gray ears, and attach the set to either side of the round part of the wooden spoon. Affix the googly eyes, and draw on a nose, mouth and whiskers. Coil the pipe cleaner, and attach it to the base of the wooden spoon handle with craft glue. -
To make beautifully colorful flowers from wooden spoons, you'll need green paint as well as paint in a few assorted colors. Pick up a bag of foam shapes at a craft store. You will also need craft glue and some faux sparkly gems (also available at craft stores).
Paint the handle of the wooden spoon green and the round part of the spoon any color you'd like. Cut foam shapes to make flower petals and glue them onto the round part of the spoon. Glue a sparkly gem in the center. - For this craft, you'll only need paint (in any color you choose) and felt-tip permanent markers. Paint the entire wooden spoon any color you'd like. Allow the paint to dry. Using a permanent marker, label the kinds of flowers, vegetables or herbs in your garden. You may also attach a picture from the seed package to the back of the spoon. Drive the spoon handle down into the dirt beside the flowers or plants named on the spoon.
