Step by step: Making a cooking spoon as a moose

Prepare the wooden spoon

Start by painting the wooden spoons with VBS handicraft paint paint. This paint is perfect as it adheres well to many surfaces and dries quickly. Make sure you work evenly and cover all areas well. Allow the painted wooden spoons to dry completely to achieve the best results.

While the paint is drying, you can use the time wisely and make the stencil for your moose. Print out the stencil and cut them out carefully.

foam sheets cut to size

Now take your sublimat pen and transfer the outline of the stencil onto the foam sheets. Sublimat pens are particularly suitable for this purpose as they leave clear, fine lines that make cutting out easier and disappear by themselves after a while. Then cut out the transferred shapes cleanly from the foam sheets .

Decorate the moose

Now comes the creative part! Use hot glue to attach the individual components to the wooden spoons. Ideally, start with the horns and ears before moving on to the other parts such as the eyes and nose. Complete the moose by attaching a small bow tie to give your moose an extra touch of personality.

That's it! In just a few simple steps, you have conjured up magical moose from simple wooden spoons. They are not only a real eye-catcher, but also an excellent project for the winter season DIY-Project for the winter season.
