I am excited to share with you today my seventh 12 Months of Martha project, DIY Painted Plastic Flatware.

I’ve had this idea in my head for some time and I was finally able to take a few moments to make it happen.  We just made a big move from NM to IL and after unpacking all our boxes, I realized I somehow had THREE boxes of plain white plastic flatware that I have never even opened or used.  

Today I am excited to share how easy it is to paint plastic flatware to make it fun and special in just 15 minutes for your next party or event!

Materials

• Acrylic Paint
• Brush Set
• Plastic Cutlery

Instructions

1. Select the paint colors for your plastic silverware.
2. Using a medium wide craft paint brush, apply paint to the handles of the flatware.
3. Find a clean place to rest silverware while they dry!

The beauty of painting the handles of plastic flatware is that it doesn’t need to be dishwasher safe.  And it doesn’t even have to be edible safe because we are only painting the handles.

Note : Please do not paint any area near where your mouth would be touching.

After you use these cheerful DIY Painted Plastic Flatware, you can throw them out!  Or if you are like me, you can carefully hand wash them for another use.

There is something about these bright colors that makes a meal just a little more special.

Martha Stewarts’s Plaid paints have impressed me from day one.  They have a nice thick consistency that I love.

What will be your next fun occasion to make some of your own DIY Painted Plastic Flatware?
