Wooden Spoons - Before and After

I am fairly certain that I have transformed these wooden spoons from useful and ugly to unuseful and decorative.

Before Picture:  These were my wooden spoons... they've seen better days.

Here's what the wooden spoons look like now.   It was my SIL Cindy that suggested adding faces to the spoons.

Super Hero Book Ends

Calling all Super Heros!

This was such a fun project to make.   It's rather simple, but time consuming.

First I purchased two 3 1/2 inch wood blocks from Michaels and one fan corner bracket at Lowes (package has both fans needed).

Paint and mod podge images.

Here are the images I used:

1.   Super Boy - cut from Paper Doll Dress-Up Cricut cartridge.   Letter "P" from Plantin Schoolbook.  Face on boy from Peachy Keen stamps.

2.  Super Dog - cut from Create a Critter Cricut cartridge (Terrior).   Mask is from the racoon on Create a Critter.   Cape is from 3 Birds on Parade.   I cut an additional Terrior in all blue and trimmed to get his boots.

3.  Pow - yellow part from Paper Doll Dress-Up (super boy cut accessory).  Blue lightening from Paper Doll Dress-Up (vampire cut accessory).  "POW" font from Plantin Schoolbook.

4.  Yellow lightening - Paper Doll Dress-Up (super boy cut accessory).

5.  Orange space ship - Paper Doll Dress-Up (super girl cut accessory).  Blue lightening from Paper Doll Dress-Up (vampire cut accessory).

6.  Black Car - Paper Doll Dress-Up (super boy cut accessory).  Silver wheels on car are a circle cut.   Orange and yellow lightening / flames are from Paper Doll Dress-Up (vampire cut accessory).  "P" on car from Plantin Schoolbook.

Fans painted blue.   Yellow paint dabbed in spots along "rays".

Attached decorated block to fan.   I attached using E-6000 glue.   Once dried I also hammered a finishing nail in thru back side.

Finished look.   Stickles were also added to bling it up a bit.

Once everything was dry, I sprayed the bookends with a clear acrylic coating.
