SUPPLIES NEEDED

HOW TO MAKE WOODEN SPOON PLANT MARKERS
- Wrap washi tape around the base of each spoon.
- Use a foam brush to paint each spoon (I chose the paint colors to “match” the vegetable/fruit).
- Let dry. A tall cup easily fit six spoons at once! Paint a second coat if necessary.
- Remove washi tape from spoon and add names of fruit/vegetable using stickers, vinyl, a sharpie, etc.
