DIY Personalized Spatula

This spatula is useful and better yet, it is a personalized gift just for him!

So let’s get started on preparing the spatula to be personalized. To begin, you want a clean wooden surface to work on. If the spatula has any type of rubber grip on the handle, carefully cut it off.

Then lightly sand the entire wooden handle with medium to fine sandpaper. This will help the paint adhere securely to the handle.

Now you are ready to personalize! I am a huge fan of paint pens. They are a no-mess way to paint. The medium and fine tips allow a child (or adult) to write with paint with great success! They are also versatile! These are great because they can paint on wood, metal, ceramic, plastic, and fabric!

With the paint-pens, personalize the wooden handle of the spatula. You can let your Dad know he is number one and how much you love him. Or you can also choose to decorate it and write a special message from your heart just for him.

Allow the paint to completely dry (about 15 mins). Once dry add a coat of Mod Podge to protect the paint.

Tip: I used Mod Podge for this project, however, it is only somewhat water-resistant. If you prefer you can use a water-based clear coat (affiliate link), which is more water-resistant and durable.
