However, I personally, am not the craftiest person. So creating customized spoons like the one below, featured on MilkAndHoneyLuxuries, is just a bit over my head.
The first one was created by Diane from Spoonie Living. Diane created something she calls a "Spoon Jar" and I absolutely loved the idea! The Spoon Jar is filled with ideas of things you can do when you're feeling overwhelmed and you just need to be distracted.
Enough chatting, lets get into how to make this awesome craft!
Things You'll Need:
A Jar (If you have an old wide-mouth mason jar sitting around the house it would probably work amazingly)
Wooden Spoons (Diane found some great cheap ones on Amazon here)
A Marker (Diane had a bit of a hard time finding one that didn't bleed too much on the spoons. She thinks that smaller felt tip pens work better, but that she shouldn't be quoted on that, sorry Diane!)
If You Want To Decorate or Color Code Your Spoons:
Stickers
OR
Paint
The directions on this one are pretty self-explanatory. If you have suggestions for what other Spoonies could put in their spoon jars be sure to comment!
Another awesome craft I found was made by tumblr user just-lucky-i-guess. She created a bouquet of inspiring spoons, and I absolutely love them!
Here's What You'll Need:
A Small Vase
Decorative Marbles
Ribbon
Plastic Spoons
A Hot Glue Gun
Buttons (Optional)
A White-Out Pen
She said that "It may not seem very important, but this tiny little spoon bouquet made me feel really great even though I was ironically running low on spoons myself."

Happy crafting Spoonies! Hope you all get extra spoons today!
