Gift Idea: Kitchen Wall Art

Family is what's most important on special days like Mother's Day. Give your mom this gift to remind her how much you care. To make, buy several wooden spoons—one for each letter. Paint the ends of each spoon; let dry. Using a letter stencil, lightly blot white paint to make one letter on each spoon; let dry. Cut a piece of cardboard to fit the opening of a picture frame (make sure the frame can fit all spoons with a 1/2-inch border on all sides). Wrap white canvas around the front of the cardboard; hot-glue to secure. Insert in frame; hot-glue spoons to the canvas.
