This is an easy way to refresh a dated or slightly damaged thrift store wooden bowl or wooden spoons.
This is an easy way to refresh a dated or slightly damaged thrift store wooden bowl or wooden spoons.
First prep the surface of your thrift store find by sanding lightly. This is to help adhere the paint. Once sanded, wipe the dust off of the surface and start painting the surface with paint. I would use acrylic in a bright colour.
Add 2-3 coats of acrylic paint to the surface. For this DIY, I would only paint the outside of the bowl. Allow to dry.
If necessary, clean the edges gently with either a wet cloth or sandpaper.
After the paint is at opacity you want, allow to dry.
Add 2-3 coats of Mod Podge to the dry surface. Allow to dry between coats.
Now you're done!
Try this DIY on other thrift store treasures.
Even wooden salad spoons. When updating items that will touch food use Beeswax to seal the paint.
