Color Dipped S + P Shakers


Have you seen these color dipped utensils around? These are from Anthropologie:

If you google it, you will find dozens of tutorials to make your own. I plan to make a batch soon (I bought the bamboo utensils today!)

But, I did do my own version. I found these wooden salt and pepper shakers at the thrift store. I thought they had such a great shape.

I covered the tops in plastic wrap and taped off the area that I wanted to be painted.

After a few coats of teal glossy spray paint, they now look like this!

I love how quick this project was. I can’t wait to “dip” more things! 

(I recognize that spray paint might not be food safe, so I taped off any areas that might be touching the salt and/or pepper just in case I do actually use them.)
