Mummy Spoons

This is my first contribution to the very first week of the Winter Bazaar hosted by scribbit. For other fun ideas for beating the winter blues click on the image above.

I made these spoons two years back to give to some church members I visit monthly. They are easy and very fun to make.

You’ll need

* Plaster Gauze (at least 3 feet)
Wooden craft spoons
Solid wooden buttons (or other wooden pice for the nose)
Craft paint and brushes
Hot glue gun

1. Paint the craft spoon white, both front and back. Paint the button nose a light gray. Let dry
2. With a toothbrush or other small brush, fleck some light pink paint onto the spoon for rosy cheeks
3. Hot glue the button nose to desired place on the front of the spoon.
4. Using the end of a standard paint brush, dip in black paint and make dots for the eyes. Let dry
5. Dip the end of a smaller paintbrush in white paint and make dots for the whites of the eyes. Let dry.
6. Cut a long thin strip of plaster gauze (long enough to wrap around the spoon quite a few times) and immerse it in warm water. Then gently wrap it around the spoon in desired fashion. Let dry.
7. Tie a bag of candy corn around the spoon.

* Plaster gauze is not necessary, I just found it easier than trying to glue regular gauze on.

This is toooo cute. Anything with candy corn attached to it - is a “good thang”.

Oh those are cute–something about the facial expression is reminding me of Larry the Cucumber only white :)

Maybe I’ve seen Jonah one too many times.

Also, I wanted to let you know I changed the mess about the leaving the links in the comments and installed a Mr. Linky instead. I went ahead and added your post’s permalink to the list. Just FYI.
