Know a mom who loves to cook? These easy kid-decorated DIY kitchen utensils and potholders are the perfect gifts for Mother's Day.
Materials:
Wooden kitchen utensils
Plain pot holders
Pearl acrylic craft paint
Paint brushes
Painter's tape
Nontoxic clear shellac/sealant
Instructions:

1. Prep the wooden utensils by using painter's tape to block off about 1/3 of the handle for painting.
2. Pour paint colors onto a palette or paper plate, then let your child have fun painting the potholders and utensils.
3. When the paint on the wooden utensils is dry, seal it with (all natural, nontoxic) clear shellac. Let dry, and then carefully remove the painter's tape to reveal a clean paint line.
