I just learned how to burn designs on wooden spoons and I think I might have created a new addiction for myself. Besides, there’s nothing quite like a cute and crafty project to take your mind off of everyday stresses.

The inspiration came from Pinterest or Etsy. Doesn’t it always? I remember seeing a super fun mandala design on a spatula. It was a while ago but I vividly remember thinking that I wanted to attempt wood burning on some sort of surface sometime.


 Some time had lapsed and I completely forgot about my project idea until I hit my local Walmart store. They had a wooden spoon set for only 88¢!! That wasn’t a sale price either. 


 They are called the Mainstays set of 4 Wood Spoons and they are hanging with the other kitchen gadgets. They don’t sell them online at that price. Only in the stores. These are perfect to practice on. The only downfall is that they are a bit small. I did buy another bigger Wooden Spoon set exactly like this one on Amazon.

I wanted to do some sort of nature designs so I google searched “nature doodles” to get some ideas. I tried to draw a few acorns but that didn’t go over so well. Who would have thought that acorns would have been hard to draw anyway?

I ended up doing an owl (my favorite), bees, dandelion and a flower. I put my own twist of design on the doodles that gave me inspiration. This project was way easier than I thought!
