I did it! I really wanted to do some do it yourself projects but when your 7 month pregnant its hard to find the energy and enthusiasm to get anything done! But today I managed to get a huge list of things to do done for the baby shower. First up on that list was this How To: Dip Dye Wooden Cutlery. I loved this post and thought it was so much funner than buying ordinary plastic cutlery. It was super easy to do also.
All you need is
- food dye (blue, green, red and yellow)
- water
- medium sized bowls (that won't stain)
- wooden disposable cutlery
- gloves (food dye stains everything and anything!!)
At first I was being pretty dumb and doing the cutlery individually until I realised that I could just dump the lot into the the separate coloured filled bowls and let the wooden cutlery absorb the dyed water. The more water you place into the bowl the more surface area the cutlery will absorb. Altogether I'd say it took about 15 minutes to get 100 each of the wooden cutlery forks, knives and spoons done. But if your pregnant just a bit of advice do not sit on the floor crossed leg or sit on the floor in any position at all at 7 months because getting up is hell.
I absolutely love the end result!
