DIY: Rope Wrapped Spoon For Your Rustic Fall Table Or Boho Wall Hanging
As I’m sure you can relate, once one comes upon a simple DIY with great results, such as my rope wrapped apples, the tendency is to see how else to use the new technique, right? So my friends, I now present to you the rope wrapped wooden spoon, a fun DIY craft that just might add a special touch, or even a humorous touch to your Fall tablescape, or your beachy kitchen decor, or maybe as a great gift topper for the cooks in your life? You could also use your rope wrapped spoon as a rod to hang a kitchen sign or sorts, use them in multiples for a boho macrame inspired wall hanging, maybe with tassels, or even better, come up with your own great use for this interesting object!
And if you start wrapping the whole house in rope, well, I’d love the see the results! In the mean time, here’s how I wrapped my wooden spoon with rope:
You’ll Need:
- 2 ply cotton rope, it isn’t string and it isn’t quite rope so don’t really know what to call it, from the hardware store, sold in balls
- a wooden spoon
- hot glue
How To: Start at the bottom of the spoon stem, applying hot glue here and there as you go, carefully wrap the spoon in a spiral fashion. Keep going and try to finish off the tip of the spoon nicely as you can see in my photo. Now make a few to put in a lovely vase in the kitchen, or to use as part of a wall hanging. Enjoy!
Ah yes, and those adorable little candy apples you see in the photo, you can learn how to make those in a jiffy with my mini candy apple tutorial.
